Whey protein, a by-product of milk curdling, exhibits diverse biological activities and is used as a dietary supplement. However, its effects on stress-induced vascular aging have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we found that whey protein significantly inhibited the Ang II-primed premature senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In addition, we observed a marked dose- and time-dependent increase in SIRT1 promoter activity and mRNA in VSMCs exposed to whey protein, accompanied by elevated SIRT1 protein expression. Ang II-mediated repression of SIRT1 level was dose-dependently reversed in VSMCs treated with whey protein, suggesting that SIRT1 is involved in preventing senescence in response to this treatment. Furthermore, resveratrol, a well-defined activator of SIRT1, potentiated the effects of whey protein on Ang II-primed premature senescence, whereas sirtinol, an inhibitor of SIRT1, exerted the opposite. Taken together, these results indicated that whey protein-mediated upregulation of SIRT1 exerts an anti-senescence effect, and can thus ameliorate Ang II-induced vascular aging as a dietary supplement.

To compare the extent of heat treatment in domestic infant formula, pH,titratable acidity, undenatured whey protein contents, HMF contents and protein-reducing substances of three commercial products (A, B, C) were measured. The pH of B products was lowest and the titratable acidity of B product was highest. The contents of undenatured whey protein per 100ml serum were 0∼30mg(A products), 90∼130mg(B products)and 80∼90mg(C products), respectively. Distinct differences of undenatured whey protein contents according to the manufacturer and infat's stage in age could be observed. The HMF contents of tested products showed 10.9∼21.5umol/L and B-2 product(B products for the second stage of 5∼9 month) was the highest among tested products. The protein-reducing substances showed 4.46∼9.50mg K4Fe(CN)6/100ml serum nd B-2 product was the highest among tested products.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of marinating turkey meat with buttermilk and acid whey on the technological traits and microbiological quality of the product. Methods: Slices of turkey meat muscles were marinated for 12 hours in buttermilk (n = 30), acid whey (n = 30) and comparatively, in lemon juice (n = 30). The control group (n = 30) consisted of unmarinated slices of turkey breast muscles. Physical parameters (pH, water holding capacity, colour L^*a^*b^*, shear force, weight loss) were assessed and quantitative and qualitative microbiological evaluation of raw and roasted products was performed. The microbiological parameters were determined as the total viable counts of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, of the Enterobacteriaceae family, and Pseudomonas spp. Bacterial identification was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Results: Marinating turkey meat in buttermilk and whey compared to marinating in lemon juice and the control sample resulted in a higher (p<0.05) degree of yellow color saturation (b^*) and a reduction (p<0.05) in the number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, Pseudomonas spp. and Enterobacteriaceae family as well as the number of identified mesophilic aerobic bacteria in both raw and roasted samples. The lowest (p<0.05) shear force values were found in products marinated in whey. Conclusion: The use of buttermilk and acid whey as a marinade for meat increases the microbiological safety of the product compared to marinating in lemon juice, while maintaining good technological features of the product.

The purpose of this study was to develop Mozzarella cheese analogues by using dairy products in the form of WPC 34, WPC 80, whey protein, demineralized whey powder, and lactose powder along with soy milk. Soy milk was separately blended with 5% WPC 34 (A), WPC 80 (B), DWP (C), WP (D), and LP (E) and also with 10% WPC 34 (F), WPC 80 (G), DWP (H), WP (I), and LP (J). Blending of soy milk and whey products showed that increase in the proportions of whey products (WPC 34, WPC 80, DWP, WP, and LP) led to increase in the protein, lactose, and SNF levels of the admixture. A decrease in fat content was observed for all cheeses prepared from mixtures, relative to those for the control cheese. The nitrogen content within analogue samples was higher than that in the control cheese and increased with increase in the proportions of whey products within soy milk. Higher water soluble nitrogen levels were observed in cheese prepared from whey-product-blended soy milk than in the control cheese. The non-protein nitrogen level within the control Mozzarella cheese was significantly lower than that in the Mozzarella analogues, and, in the case of cheese analogues, it increased with increase in the proportion of whey products in soy milk. With regard to the physicochemical and sensory qualities of the Mozzarella cheese analogues and control cheese, the pH of all analogue samples, with the exception of the cheese prepared from group G, was lower than that of the control Mozzarella cheese. Rheological studies showed that the hardness of Mozzarella cheese analogues was lower than that of the control Mozzarella, while the elasticity, cohesiveness, and brittleness of the analogues was higher. The control sample had a higher meltability level than any of the Mozzarella analogues. Mozzarella cheese prepared with the traditional method had higher browning and stretching levels than all the cheese analogues, but a lower oiling-off level.

Heat treatment of milk aims to inhibit the growth of microbes, extend the shelf-life of products and improve the quality of the products. Heat treatment also leads to denaturation of whey protein and the formation of whey protein-casein polymer, which has negative effects on milk product. Hence the milk heat treatment conditions should be controlled in milk processing. In this study, the denaturation degree of whey protein and the combination degree of whey protein and casein when undergoing heat treatment were also determined by using the Native-PAGE and SDS-PAGE analysis. The results showed that the denaturation degree of whey protein and the combination degree of whey protein with casein extended with the increase of the heat-treated temperature and time. The effects of the heat-treated temperature and heat-treated time on the denaturation degree of whey protein and on the combination degree of whey protein and casein were well described using the quadratic regression equation. The analysis strategy used in this study reveals an intuitive and effective measure of the denaturation degree of whey protein, and the changes of milk protein under different heat treatment conditions efficiently and accurately in the dairy industry. It can be of great significance for dairy product proteins following processing treatments applied for dairy product manufacturing.

The purpose of this research was to study the effects of kefir whey (kefir whey, peptides, lactic acid) on skin care properties including skin lightening effect and acne treatment. The final aim was to develop a new cosmetic product and enhance the value of dairy products. The results of skin lightening tests showed that all three kefir whey components (kefir whey, peptides and lactic acid) had inhibitory ability against melanin synthesis. Furthermore, copper chelating analysis demonstrated that both kefir whey and kefir whey peptides could chelate the copper in tyrosinase, which might explain the mechanism of inhibition. The ability for acne treatment indicated that lactic acid level higher than 60 mg/ml could inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acne, whereas no inhibition was found with other components.

치즈시장이 심각한 국제경쟁을 직면하게 되면서 최적화된 생산과정은 유제품회사가 성공하기 위해 더 중요해졌다. 치즈 배치로부터 생성되는 유청(whey)은 최종 생산품의 산출량 증가, 질감 개선, 영양가 증진을 하기 위한 목적으로 유제품 생산과정 중에 종종 재사용된다. 유청크림(whey cream)과 미립자 유청 단백질(particulated whey protein)은 흔하게 재활용된다. 그러나 이 물질들 내에 저온살균 처리 후에도 남아있는 대부분의 박테리오파지(bacteriophage)가 치즈 제조 과정 중에 들어가 높은 수치로 증식할 위험이 있다. 유청분리는 종종 aerosol-borne 파지를 생성하여 공장 생산과정을 오염시키기 때문에, 박테리오파지에 의한 유청오염은 치즈 생산과정에 문제를 일으킬 수 있으며, 또한 치즈주형으로 재사용되는 유청과 유청 단백질 내에는 내열성 파지(thermo-resistant phage)가 존재할 수 있다. 수분이 제거된 치즈로부터 생성된 유청의 경우, 파지에 의해 $10^9$파지/mL까지 감염될 수 있다. 유청배치를 농축시켰을 경우에는 파지 역가(phage titer)가 10배까지 증가하게 되는데, 이 수치까지 도달하게 되면 파지를 완전히 제거하는 것은 불가능해진다. 유청 재활용 과정 중에 발생하는 발효실패를 방지하기 위해서는 유청 내 존재하는 파지의 수를 감소시키는 처리법이 필요하다. 따라서 열처리, 자외선(UV), 막여과 등의 기술을 사용하여 유청 내의 파지를 불활성화시키는 처리법에 대해 중점적으로 연구자 진행되고 있는 분야이다. 열로 파지를 불활성화시키는 방법이 가장 흔히 사용되는 처리법이지만 내열성 파지를 열로 불활성화 시킬 경우에 자연산 유청 단백질이 받게 되는 부정적인 영향으로 인해 이 처리법의 사용에는 제한이 있다. 따라서 온도를 높이고 시간을 늘리는 방법보다는 다른 결합된 처리법을 사용하여 유청 내의 파지를 제거해야 것이 요구되어진다. 열처리를 막여과 또는 UV와 함께 사용할 경우, 유청 내의 파지 수를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료되어진다.

The present study evaluated the effects of fermented whey protein using kimchi lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus casei DK211 on skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in healthy middle-aged males performing regular resistance exercises. Effective protein supplementation and regular exercise are two important factors for improving muscle health. Therefore, in this study, the effects of consuming fermented whey protein twice a day were investigated and compared with that of non-fermented supplementation. Forty-eight males (average age 44.8) were randomly assigned to two groups: Fermented whey protein supplementation (FWPS) and non-fermented whey protein concentration supplementation (WPCS) groups. Each group ingested 37 g of FWPS or WPCS twice a day for eight weeks. Body composition, muscle strength, and physical performance were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Independent t-tests or chi-square tests for the categorical variables were performed for analyzing the observations. FWPS was effective in promoting the physical performance in dynamic balance measurement and muscle health, indicated through the increment in grip strength (left), upper arm circumference, and flat leg circumference from the baseline. However, similar improvements were not observed in the WPCS group. These results imply that whey protein fermented by L. casei DK211 is an effective protein supplement for enhancing muscle health in males performing regular resistance exercises.
