  • Publication number: 20230193514
    Abstract: A probiotic-encapsulating gum Arabic (GA) composite fiber/capsule, including: lactic acid bacteria and an electrospun fiber or electrosprayed capsule, where the lactic acid bacteria are encapsulated in the electrospun fiber or electrosprayed capsule by electro-hydro dynamics (EHD) technology. The electrospun fiber or electrosprayed capsule is prepared by compounding a polymer matrix with GA, and the polymer matrix is polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), whey protein concentrate (WPC) or maltodextrin (MD). A preparation method and an application of the composite fiber/capsule are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230148626
    Abstract: Disclosed in this specification are a protein-based foaming agent, its preparation method and application, and belong to the technical field of food additives. The foaming agent comprises raw materials of alpha-lactalbumin (?-La) and glycyrrhizic acid (GA), where a molar concentration ratio of ?-La to GA in the protein-based foaming agent is 1 : (2.5-750); the foaming agent is prepared as follows: preparing ?-La solution, adjusting pH, and then adding GA for reaction to obtain the protein-based foaming agent. In some embodiments of this specification, the ?-La undergoes changes in terms secondary and tertiary structures by adjusting the pH of ?-La solution, which promotes the development of protein molecules and increases the possibility of binding ?-La with micromolecule surfactants; after ?-La is bound with GA, the foaming ability and foam stability are greatly improved.

  • Patent number: 11632965
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing a fermented milk. The method comprises: step 1, extruding whey protein at low temperature, mixing the extruded whey protein with inulin to prepare extruded whey protein isolate (WPI)-inulin composition; step 2, adding sucrose and the extruded WPI-inulin composition into the raw milk, and uniformly mixing and stirring the sucrose, the extruded WPI-inulin composition, and the raw milk to obtain a material A; step 3, preheating, homogenizing, sterilizing and cooling the material A to obtain a fermentation substrate; step 4, adding a fermentation agent into the fermentation substrate, filling the fermentation substrate in a container, and then performing heat-preserved fermentation, and ending the fermentation to obtain a material B; step 5, cooling the material B, and then refrigerating the material B to obtain fermented milk.
