Journal ArticleDOI
Exudate gums: occurrence, production, and applications
TL;DR: A review of the industrially most relevant exudate gums: gum arabic, gum karya, and gum tragacanth, which covers the chemical structure, occurrence and production of the different gums.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved emulsion stabilizing properties of whey protein isolate by conjugation with pectins
TL;DR: The results indicated that the dry heat-induced covalent binding of low methoxyl pectin to whey protein, as shown by SDS-PAGE, led to a substantial improvement in the emulsifying behaviour at pH 5.5, which is near the isoelectric pH of the main protein β-lactoglobulin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of gelatin hydrolysates and identification of bioactive peptides.

TL;DR: The thermolysin hydrolysate (Bh2t) showed the highest in vitro ACE inhibitory activity, and interestingly a marked in vivo blood pressure-lowering effect was demonstrated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), suggesting ACE inhibition as the underlying antihypertensive mechanism for Bh2t.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of sucrose and sorbitol on the gel formation of a whey protein isolate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic rheology to evaluate possible effects of sucrose and sorbitol at various concentrations on the thermogelation of a 150 kg −1 whey protein isolate solution at pH 6.0 and 8.5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of SDS-PAGE profiles of four Belgian cheeses by multivariate statistics
TL;DR: In this paper, a promising approach in this area of cheese research is the application to proteolytic patterns of multivariate statistics such as principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant analysis (DA) on electrophoretic profiles obtained by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SOS-PAGE) of the pH 4.6-insoluble protein fraction of cheese.
