Abstract

Ultrafiltration and diafiltration of skim milk altered delicate salt equilibrium and composition of 5× UF retentate (5× UFR), and thus adversely affected the reconstitutional and functional properties of milk protein concentrate (MPC) powders. It might be due to interaction and aggregation of proteins during spray drying. Therefore, this study was envisaged to investigate the effect of disodium phosphate (DSP) addition, diafiltration and homogenization of retentates on physico-chemical, functional and rheological properties of MPC60 powders. Solubility of fresh control powder was significantly lower than MPC60-H powder; at par with that of MPC60-DSP and MPC60-Na–K, but remained minimum after 60 days of storage at 25 ± 1 °C. The pH (6.6) adjustment of 5× UFR with DSP, significantly enhanced the dispersability, wettability, specific surface area (SSA), heat coagulation time (HCT), emulsification capacity and stability; buffer index of MPC60-DSP powder over control. Diafiltration of 5× UFR with NaCl and KCl, significantly (P < 0.05) decreased calcium content, but enhanced pH and mineral content of MPC60-Na–K powder. This treatment led to significant improvement in dispersability, SSA, emulsification capacity and stability, HCT and oil binding properties. Flowability, wettability, dispersability, HCT, foaming capacity, emulsification capacity and stability were also improved significantly in MPC60-H powder made from homogenized 5× UFR. Rheological behavior of reconstituted powder samples exhibited pseudoplastic behavior, best explained by Hershel Bulkley model. These MPC60 powders with improved functional properties can be used for the improvement of quality attributes of various food formulations.
