Research tests ideal temperature for encapsulation of probiotics
The air inlet temperature of 130°C in the spray dryer provided greater encapsulation efficiency of the microparticles Lactobacillus acidophillus La-5 and Bifidobacterium Bb-12. In addition, this temperature also made the physicochemical characteristics more desirable in these particles, such as low water activity and humidity, which ensure better microbiological stability. … Read More →

Membranes can be used to recover whey proteins?
With this study it was possible to recover 80% whey proteins using membrane of 10 kDa. These proteins showed good protein solubility, emulsion stability, and most were identified as β-lactoglobulin (18.3kDa) and α-lactalbumin (14.2kDa). Therefore, the use of membranes is an alternative to recover whey proteins in the industrial process. … Read More →
