Effects of iodate, hydrogen peroxide and dichromate on the denaturation of whey proteins in heated milk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Summary
The effect of heating raw milk at 75 °C for 30 min and at 95 °C for 15 s in the presence of varying concentrations of three oxidizing agents on the denaturation of total and individual whey proteins was measured. At 75 °C, ±-lactalbumin could be protected against denaturation by both iodate and H202 and ²-Lactoglobulins A and B by H202 and dichromate. However, at concentrations above ∼ 15 MM, the oxidizing agents tended to increase denaturation. At 95 °C, where the extent of whey protein denaturation was much reduced in the absence of oxidizing agents, little or no protective effect was observed. It is suggested that H202 may prove a suitable alternative to iodate in reducing deposits in ultra high temperature plants.
