| Abstract | This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different concentration methods (nanofiltration and evaporation) and heat treatments on the gel properties of milk protein concentrate (MPC). The MPC gels were produced using glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) as an acidifier with different preheat treatments (30 min at 80°C and 5 min at 92°C). We then evaluated the effect of preheat treatments on MPC gel properties, including storage modulus (G'), loss tangent (tan δ), firmness, whey separation, and microstructure. The results indicated that without preheating, evaporation (EP)-MPC had higher G' and firmness, and lower tan δ and whey separation than nanofiltration (NF)-MPC. These results suggest that EP-MPC produced a better acid-induced gel than NF-MPC when no preheat treatments were performed. After preheating, however, except for a very small difference in the final G' (EP-MPC was higher), the 2 MPC did not differ significantly in firmness, final tan δ, or whey separation. Additionally, compared with the gel of unheated MPC, both preheat-treated gels (NF-MPC and EP-MPC) achieved increased G' and firmness and decreased tan δ and whey separation. The preheat-treated MPC also displayed a more flexible-stranded network. These findings demonstrate that, given a suitable heating treatment, NF-MPC compares favorably with EP-MPC in achieving desired gel properties. |
