Abstract
Ultra-instantaneous UHT (UI-UHT, > 155°C, < 0.1 s) treated milk exhibits higher retention of active protein than regular UHT milk. However, UI-UHT products demonstrate increased susceptibility to destabilization during storage. This study aimed at monitoring the destabilizing process of UI-UHT milk across different storage temperatures and uncovering its potential mechanisms. Compared with regular UHT treatment, ultra-instantaneous treatment markedly accelerated the milk's destabilization process. Aged gel formation occurred after 45 d of storage at 25°C, while creaming and sedimentation were observed after 15 d at 37°C. To elucidate the instability mechanism, measurements of plasmin activity, protein hydrolysis levels, and proteomics of the aged gel were conducted. In UI-UHT milk, plasmin activity, and protein hydrolysis levels significantly increased during storage. Excessive protein hydrolysis at 37°C resulted in sedimentation, while moderate hydrolysis and an increase in protein particle size at 25°C resulted in aged gel formation. Proteomics analysis results indicated that the aged gel from UI-UHT milk contained intact caseins, major whey proteins, and their derived peptides. Furthermore, specific whey proteins including albumin, lactotransferrin, enterotoxin-binding glycoprotein PP20K, and MFGM proteins were identified in the gel. Additionally, MFGM proteins in UI-UHT milk experienced considerable hydrolysis during storage, contributing to fat instability. This study lays a theoretical foundation for optimizing UI-UHT milk storage conditions to enhance the quality of liquid milk products.

Abstract
The centrifugation presterilizing UHT (C-UHT) sterilization method removes 90% of the microorganism and somatic cells from raw milk using high-speed centrifugation following UHT treatment. This study aimed to study the changes in protein composition and plasmin in the UHT and C-UHT milk. The digestive characteristics, composition, and peptide spectrum of milk protein sterilized with the 2 technologies were studied using a dynamic digestive system of a simulated human stomach. The Pierce bicinchoninic acid assay, laser scanning confocal microscope, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and AA analysis were used to study the digestive fluid at different time points of gastric digestion in vitro. The results demonstrated that C-UHT milk had considerably higher protein degradation than UHT milk. Different processes resulted during the cleavage of milk proteins at different sites during digestion, resulting in different derived peptides. The results showed there was no significant effect of UHT and C-UHT on the peptide spectrum of milk proteins, but C-UHT could release relatively more bioactive peptides and free AA.

Lactose Glycation of the Maillard-Type Impairs the Benefits of Caseinate Digest to the Weaned Rats for Intestinal Morphology and Serum Biochemistry. Foods 2021; 10:foods10092104. [PMID: 34574217 PMCID: PMC8468520 DOI: 10.3390/foods10092104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The Maillard reaction between the lactose and milk proteins unavoidably occurs during the thermal treatment of milk. Although the impact of this reaction on protein nutrition and safety has been well-studied, whether a lactose glycation of milk proteins of the Maillard-type might affect the rats in their growth and intestinal morphology needs an investigation. In this study, caseinate and lactose-glycated caseinate were digested using pepsin and trypsin. Afterward, the resultant caseinate digest and glycated caseinate digest (lactose content of 13.5 g/kg of protein) at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight (BW)/d were assessed for their effects on the female weaned Wistar rats in terms of daily body weight gain, intestinal morphology, digestive and brush-border enzyme activities, as well as serum chemical indices. The results showed that glycated caseinate digest always showed a weaker effect on rat than caseinate digest either at the 0-7 or 0-28 d feeding stage, and more importantly, at the highest dose of 400 mg/kg BW/d, it caused obvious adverse effect on the rats, reflected by lower values of these indices. Compared with caseinate digest, glycated caseinate digest in the rats caused 0.9-15.4% and 10.6-49.7% decreases in average daily gain of BW and small intestinal length, 1.1-21.5% and 2.3-33.3% decreases in villus height and the ratio of villus height to crypt depth of the small intestine, or 0.3-57.6% and 0.2-55.7% decreases in digestive and critical brush-border enzyme activities, respectively. In addition, when the rats were fed with glycated caseinate digest, some serum indices related to oxidative stress status were enhanced dose-dependently. Lactose glycation of the Maillard-type is thus considered as a negative event of the Maillard reaction on milk proteins because this reaction might impair protein benefits to the body.

Abstract
Bioactive food components have potential health benefits but are highly susceptible for degradation under adverse conditions such as light, pH, temperature and oxygen. Furthermore, they are known to have poor solubilities, low stabilities and low bioavailabilities in the gastrointestinal tract. Hence, technologies that can retain, protect and enable their targeted delivery are significant to the food industry. Amongst these, microencapsulation of bioactives has emerged as a promising technology. The present review evaluates the potential use of casein micelles (CMs) as a bioactive delivery system. The review discusses in depth how physicochemical and techno-functional properties of CMs can be modified by secondary processing parameters in making them a choice for the delivery of food bioactives in functional foods. CMs are an assembly of four types of caseins, (αs1, αs2, β and κ casein) with calcium phosphate. They possess hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties that make them ideal for encapsulation of food bioactives. In addition, CMs have a self-assembling nature to incorporate bioactives, remarkable surface activity to stabilise emulsions and the ability to bind hydrophobic components when heated. Moreover, CMs can act as natural hydrogels to encapsulate minerals, bind with polymers to form nano capsules and possess pH swelling behaviour for targeted and controlled release of bioactives in the GI tract. Although numerous novel advancements of employing CMs as an effective delivery have been reported in recent years, more comprehensive studies are required to increase the understanding of how variation in structural properties of CMs be utilised to deliver bioactives with different physical, chemical and structural properties.

Abstract
Demand for ultra-high-temperature (UHT) milk and milk protein-based beverages is growing. UHT milk is microbiologically stable. However, on storage, a number of chemical and physical changes occur and these can reduce the quality of the milk. These changes can be sufficiently undesirable so as to limit acceptance or shelf life of the milk. The most severe changes in UHT milk during storage are age gelation, with an irreversible three-dimensional protein network forming throughout, excessive sedimentation with a compact layer of protein-enriched material forming rapidly at the bottom of the pack, and creaming with excessive fat accumulating at the top. For age gelation, it is known that at least two mechanisms can lead to gelation during storage. One mechanism involves proteolytic degradation of the proteins through heat-stable indigenous or exogenous enzymes, destabilizing milk and ultimately forming a gel. The other mechanism is referred to as a physico-chemical mechanism. Several factors are known to affect the physico-chemical age gelation, such as milk/protein concentration, heat load during processing (direct compared with indirect UHT processes), and milk composition. Similar factors to age gelation are known to affect sedimentation. There are relatively few studies on the creaming of UHT milk during storage, suggesting that this defect is less common or less detrimental compared with gelation and sedimentation. This review focuses on the current state of knowledge of age gelation, sedimentation, and creaming of UHT milks during storage, providing a critical evaluation of the available literature and, based on this, mechanisms for age gelation and sedimentation are proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycation of food proteins via the Maillard reaction has been widely studied in the recent years; however, the amount of saccharide connected to proteins is usually not determined. An enzymatic galactose assay was proposed firstly in this study to detect lactose glycation extents of caseinate and soybean protein isolate (SPI) during the Maillard reaction at two temperatures and different times. RESULTS The separated glycated proteins were hydrolysed to release galactose necessary for the enzymatic assay and glycation calculation. Caseinate and SPI both obtained the highest lactose glycation extents at 100 °C or 121 °C by a reaction time of 180 or 20 min. Short- and long-time reaction resulted in lower glycation extents. During the reaction, three chemical indices (absorbences at 294/490 nm and fluorescence intensities) of reaction mixtures increased continually, but another index reactable NH2 of glycated proteins showed the opposite trend. In general, changing profiles of the four indices were inconsistent with those profiles of lactose glycation extents of glycated proteins, implying practical limitation of the four indices in studies. CONCLUSION This proposed enzymatic assay could directly detect lactose glycation of the two proteins, and thus was more useful than the four chemical indices to monitor glycation of the two proteins. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
