Solubility and Digestibility of Milk Proteins in Infant Formulas Exposed to Different Heat Treatments
Silvia Rudloff,

Abstract:SummaryThere are presently several fundamentally different technologies to produce infant formulas (IF), such as sterilization, spray‐drying, and treatment at ultrahigh temperature (UHT). The effects of heat treatment on milk proteins in IF were analyzed by column chromatography, gel electrophoresis, and Kjeldahl analysis, revealing strong protein‐protein and protein‐lipid interactions in processed milk. These interactions were more pronounced in conventionally (in‐can) sterilized than in spray‐dried (powdered… Show more
