        Introduction: Cakes are baked products highly appreciated by the consumers worldwide. Regardless of the number of functions performed by egg proteins in improving cakes, the current trend is to reduce the egg content or to replace eggs in order to diminish the total production cost and also satisfy consumers with specific dietary restrictions or needs.Materials and Methods: In this study, physicochemical and organoleptical properties of shortened cake prepared by substitution of egg with different levels of whey protein concentrate and modified starch in the formulation were evaluated. WPC at levels of 25%,50%,100% and modified starch at levels of 25%,50%,100%, were considered as variable treatments.Results: The results of these experiments showed that Batter Viscosity, Batter Specific volume, Cake hardness, Cake moisture, Cake volume and Cake height, have a meaningful difference as compared to the control sample in all the cases examined (P<0.05). Also pH values of the cake don’t have a meaningful difference as compared to the control sample in all the cases examined (P>0.05). All of sensory properties have a meaningful difference as compared to the control sample in all the cases examined (P<0.05).Conclusion: It was concluded that WPC alone was an appropriate substitution for egg. Although modified starch alone was not an appropriate substitution for egg, the application of modified starch at levels of 25 and 50% along with WPC could be an appropriate substitution for egg while maintaining sensory properties and improving the physicochemical properties of eggless cake.Keywords: cake, modified starch, whey protein concentrate Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Fat reduction adversely affects different properties of cheese. Transglutaminase treatment of low-fat milk incorporated with whey proteins makes it possible to develop a low-fat white-brined cheese with rheological properties similar to the full-fat counterpart. The objective of this study was to monitor the changes in proteolysis and lipolysis indices of transglutaminase–treated low-fat white-brined cheese during ripening. Materials and Methods: A control full-fat (3% fat), a control low-fat (1% fat) and an enzyme-treated low-fat (1% fat, 0.9 U transglutaminase/g protein, 5% whey protein isolate/L milk) white-brined cheese were produced and their physicochemical properties, proteolysis and lipolysis indices, FFA profile and organoleptic attributes were studied after 3, 20, 40 and 60 days. Results: The proteolysis and lipolysis indices of all samples showed an increasing trend during ripening (p<0.05). The development of proteolysis and lipolysis in white-brined cheese with reduced fat content was noticeably slower than its full-fat counterpart (p<0.05). Transglutaminase treatment of low-fat milk incorporated with whey proteins retarded the syneresis of resultant cheese and hereby promoted its extent of proteolysis and lipolysis (p<0.05). The decreasing rate of short-chain free fatty acids production was more pronounced than that of medium- and long-chain free fatty acids, due possibly to their contribution to production of flavor compounds. Flavor of enzyme-treated low-fat cheese was considerably improved during ripening (p<0.05) but was less appreciated by consumers than that of control full-fat sample (p<0.05). Conclusion: Transglutaminase treatment of low-fat milk incorporated with whey proteins results in a low-fat white-brined cheese with accelerated proteolysis and lipolysis and thus, more desirable organoleptic properties.

        Introduction: Acidified milk drinks have low pH with healthy properties. These properties might be expanded and improved by fortification of these products with soy milk, probiotics and Whey Protein Concentrate. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of transglutaminase (TG) and Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) on physicochemical, sensory and microbial properties of functional drink from mixture of cow's milk and soya milk. Materials and Methods: Cow's milk and soya milk with equal proportion were used for producing probiotic drink containing Lactobacillus casei. Different concentrations of transglutaminase (150, 200 and 250 ppm) and WPC (0.5, 1 and 1.5 % w/w) were added and the viability of probiotic bacteria and physicochemical and sensory properties of the drink samples were studied during three weeks of cold storage. Results: The results showed that the addition of enzyme and WPC increased the viscosity significantly (p˂0.05). Samples containing 1.5% WPC and 200 ppm enzyme and 1.5% WPC and 250 ppm enzyme had the highest acidity and the lowest pH. The highest number of L. casei belonged to the sample containing 0.5% WPC and 150 ppm enzyme. Moreover, this sample had the highest score of overall acceptability during storage. During the storage time, the viability of L. casei and pH decreased significantly (p˂0.05) whereas acidity and viscosity increased significantly (p˂0.05). The population of probiotic bacteria of the samples during storage was more than 106 CFU/ml. Conclusion: The addition of 0.5% WPC and 150 ppm transglutaminase resulted in production of a functional drink with the highest viability of probiotic bacteria and sensory quality. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Whey is a by-product of dairy industries along cheese production. As a raw material, whey has several applications in food industries and its valuable protein and lactose contents. Membrane technology, more specifically ultrafiltration (UF), is being used in dairy industry to produce whey protein concentrate (WPC) because this technology allows selective separation of whey proteins compared to the rest of its components. In this regard, the objective of this research was to investigate the effects of different operating parameter on whey protein concentration and purification process using ultrafiltration membranes. Method: Three different nanostructure Poly-Eether-Sulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes were tested and the effects of operating parameters, temperature (43 oC), three different pressures (1 bar, 2 bar, 3 bar) and feed flow rate on the permeate flow rate, protein rejection and lactose permeation were studied. Findings: Results showed that pressure increase enhances the permeation flow rate which is more sensible at lower pressures. Moreover, high pressures have not been considered suitable considering higher fouling and lower flux recovery. Increasing feed flow rate resulted in higher turbulence on the surface of the membrane and reduces the membrane fouling and enhances the permeation flow rate even though these parameters (pressure and feed flow rate) did not have any significant effect on the protein rejection and lactose permeation. At the best operating conditions, maximum protein rejection was %91.01. Discussion and Conclusion: considering the findings, it can be concluded that UF process using PES hollow fiber membrane is capable of performing desired separation and purification of whey.

        The production of imitation whey-less cheeses is one of the new achievements in the dairy industry, which has been noted for its nutritional and economic aspects. In these cheeses, it is possible to increase the nutritional value of cheese and decrease the production costs by using plant ingredients. The effect of quinoa germs was investigated on the physicochemical properties, phenol compounds, textural profile, and microbial and sensory properties of whey-less cheese. The results showed that with increasing quinoa germs, the dry matter, acidity, and fat in dry matter content increased and moisture and protein content decreased in all samples (p<0.05). The value of hardness, springiness and cohesiveness of the samples containing quinoa germs were significantly lower than the control sample (without quinoa germs). However, the samples with higher amounts of quinoa germs had the highest hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness compared to the ones with lower values of quinoa germs (p<0.05). According to the sensory results, the flavor score was significantly improved by adding the quinoa gems up to 6%. But with the increasing germs to 9 %, the flavor score decreased significantly (p<0.05). Based on the results obtained in this study, 6% of quinoa germs can be used in the preparation of whey-less functional cheese. Manuscript profile

This study aimed to investigate the effect of coating Tilapia fish fillets with whey protein concentrate (10, 15, and 20% w/w), maltodextrin (15, 20, and 25% w/w), and rosemary essential oil (1, 3 and 5% v/w). The optimization of the process was conducted by response surface methodology and Design Expert software. For this purpose, 18 models were presented by the software, and the samples were immersed in the produced solutions and were kept at 4 °C for 6 days. After this period, peroxide value (PV), Thiobarbituric acid (TBARS), Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVBN), and pH were measured. The results showed that by increasing the concentration of biopolymers and essential oil, all the investigated parameters were in lower limits, and in the sample coated with the maximum concentration of substances, the values of PV, TBARS acid, TVBN, and pH (in 100 grams), were 1.05 meq, 0.05 mg, 5.7 mg and 6.2, respectively, while these values for the coated sample with minimum concentrations, were 3.44 meq, 0.305 mg, 10.85 mg and 6.79 respectively. By optimizing the production process by software, the best solution was achieved by mixing 11.214% w/w of whey protein concentrate, 25% w/w of maltodextrin, and 3.402% v/w of rosemary essential oil.

        Beta-galactosidase is one of the most important industrial enzymes capable of decomposing lactose into glucose and fructose. In this study, two strains of Kluyveromyces marxianus (GY101 and BY101) were investigated for the production of the β-galactosidase from whey as a culture media. Whey was inoculated with each strain and examined for enzyme production with aeration at 100 rpm for 144 hours. In order to increase the enzyme production, the effect of adding yeast extract (0.2 and 0.5%), magnesium sulfate (0.5%) and manganese sulfate (0.5%) at 24, 48, 96, 120 and 144 hours at 30°C and 37°C were investigated and the enzyme activity was measured. The highest enzyme production after 144 hours at 30°C with GY101 and BY101 strains by adding yeast extract (0.5%) were 2.25 and 2.18 U/ml, and with magnesium sulfate added 2.12 and 1.94 U/ml, respectively. According to the results of this study, whey cheese is an appropriate environment for the production of the β-galactosidase enzyme using Kluyveromyces marxianus with the presence of yeast extract and magnesium and manganese sulfate as supplements. The best temperature for the production of the enzyme in both strains was 30°C, and the addition of mineral supplements and yeast extract had a positive effect on the production of β-galactosidase. While the GY101 strain was more suitable than BY101 and magnesium sulfate was more suitable than manganese sulfate, and the enzyme activity increased with increasing yeast extract concentration.

        Lysine is an essential amino acid that is not synthesized in the human body, but due to the body's need and its application in different parts of the health area, it is important to optimize and economize the production process. The most commonly used lysine production method is microbial fermentation and the nutrient composition of the fermentation media is effective on the microorganism growth and the production of microbial metabolite. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of native and inexpensive nutritional substrates, as the main supplier of energy for microorganism, on the growth and productivity of strains. For this purpose, different amounts (g/lit) of whey (100, 135, 170), rice flour (100, 135,170) and oat bran (100, 170, 220) were separately added to culture of Corynebacterium glutamicum, and at 68 and 116 fermentation time, growth indices such as pH of the environment, production biomass, specific growth rate of microorganism, strain morphology and amount of produced amino acid were measured and compared with control (100 g/lit glucose). The results showed that the highest amount of lysine produced was obtained in media containing 135 g/lit whey, 170 g/lit rice flour and 220 g/lit oat bran. These results indicate that these compounds are suitable for use in biological processes and can be used as the main nutrient source. Manuscript profile

Total bacterial count and Staphylococcus bacteria count were lower in the samples covered with 9% concentration compared with the other samples. The Coliform, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonasbacteria contamination were negative until the end of storage period in the covered and control samples. Moisture, protein, fat and ash  were higher in the  samples covered with 9% concentration  compared with the other samples. Peroxide value, TVN and pH were lower in the  samples covered with 9% concentration compared with other samples. Statistically significant differences were observed in their bacterial counts, chemical factors and total acceptance index (p< 0.05). Sensory analysis carried out to the ranking method. Samples covered with 9% concentration compared with the samples covered with 3% concentration had a better quality. The covered samples had a favorable quality until the end of storage period. But control samples lost their quality after three months.  Manuscript profile

        Background & Objectives: Xanthan gum is produced by Xanthomonas bacteria. This gum is    widely used in various industries. Random mutagenesis of xanthan-producing strains can increase xanthan production capacity several times. This study aimed to evaluate Xanthomonas mutant strains with high xanthan production capacity.Materials & Methods: The native strain of Xanthomonas citri K37 was affected by nitrogenic acid mutagen and after initial screening, the mutant strains were selected based on the appearance and diameter of the colony formed on the c dye medium. Whey-based production medium was used to produce xanthan gum and then production indices such as beta-galactosidase activity, sugar      consumption, production rate, and viscosity of xanthan gum were selected in selected mutant strains.Results: A total of 8 mutant strains were selected among all treated colonies. Two high-yielding strains named R3 and R8 and two low-yielding strains called M2 and M6 were selected to        evaluate the activity of beta-galactosidase enzyme and glucose consumption. Strain R3 increased viscosity and amount of xanthan compared to wild strain equivalent to 200 cp and 2 g / l,           respectively, and mutant M6 lost the ability to produce xanthan.Conclusion: From the native Xanthomonas citri K37 isolate, a new R3 strain was created during mutagenesis, which can be effective in low cost cheese whey as a xanthan-producing strain.  Manuscript profile

        Background & Objectives: Increase in the yield while reducing costs is one of the most important aspects of researches in biotechnology. Considering the amount of bioproducts consumed annually, antibiotics stand at second place, and therefore there has been considerable research to increase their production. This study was aimed to optimize the media used in fermentation process in terms of nitrogen source. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted in Tehran, based on  a continuously sampling from the metabolites produced by Saccharopolyspora erythraea. After sporulation, seeding and fermentation, the role of whey powder on several indicators such as pH, biomass production percentage morphological changes in the strain was analyzed. The concentration of the produced erythromycin were examined by spectrophotometry. Results: The results of this study showed the effectiveness of different concentrations of whey powder on fermentation indices. Also, according to the results, the use of soybean meal with whey powder had positive impacts on the amount of erythromycin produced, duration of fermentation and the production costs. The optimized concentration of nitrogen nitrogen for production of this antibody was a combination of 54g/l whey powder with 12g/l soybean meal. Conclusion: Since whey powder is an inexpensive source of nitrogen, it can be used to reduce costs, and increase the yield. Therefore, whey powder can be used as an alternative source of nitrogen in industrial production. Manuscript profile

        The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of 8 weeks of interval training combined with whey protein consumption on the serum levels of testosterone, cortisol and the ratio of testosterone to cortisol in young non-athletes. In this semi-experimental study, 48 young non-athletes between the ages of 18 and 24 were randomly divided into four groups of 12: control group (no intervention); supplement (whey protein); Interval training and combined group (interval training + whey protein) were included. After measuring the anthropometric indicators, the subjects in all 4 groups were present in the laboratory environment after 10 to 12 hours of overnight starvation (fasting) and after 15 minutes of rest, 5 cc of blood from the brachial vein between 7 o'clock and it was taken from them at 8 am. Blood sampling was taken to measure testosterone and cortisol and calculate the ratio of testosterone to cortisol (pre-test). Then the aforementioned interventions were performed on the studied groups for a period of 8 weeks. Finally, 48 hours after the last training session, blood sampling was done again (fasting) to measure dependent variables (post-test). Also, anthropometric indices were measured after the intervention in all groups. Data analysis by ANCOVA revealed that compared to the control group, interval training combined with whey protein consumption increased testosterone and the ratio of testosterone to cortisol and decreased cortisol in the combined group compared to the control group. Also, the implementation of aerobic exercises combined with the consumption of Selenium Plus improved the mentioned variables compared to the application of each of them alone. In a summary, based on the available findings, it is concluded that the implementation of interval training combined with the consumption of whey protein is associated with more anabolic effects than the application of each of them alone in non-athletic men. However, further understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the anabolic effect of interval training and whey protein requires further studies in this field. Manuscript profile
