    Physical, chemical and microbiological changes in liquid micellar casein concentrates induced by high-pressure treatments

    Microfiltration and diafiltration were conducted to obtain 3 distinct levels of liquid micellar casein concentrates from raw skim milk: 8, 10 and 11.5 g casein/100 g. All the concentrates were subjected to 300, 450 and 600 MPa for 5 min. The physicochemical and microbiological changes in the matrix were studied and compared with their untreated counterparts on the day of production and after storing the samples for 7 d at 10 °C. Slight changes in pH were correlated with pressurization; the higher the pressure the greater the decrease in pH. For the least concentrated sample, changes were more noticeable. Furthermore, changes in particle size mainly occurred as a consequence of pressurization but also depended on casein concentration: aggregation and disruption phenomena were observed in the most concentrated samples. In terms of microbial quality, 600 MPa was the only treatment capable of achieving effective microbial control.

    In dairy industry there has always been great concern about the microbial and protein quality of liquid milk protein fractions obtained by microfiltration (MF). The objectives of research were to study the impact of MF on the evolution of protein and microbial quality of microfiltered milk (MFM), liquid micellar casein concentrates (LMCC) and serum permeates (SP) during storage at 4 °C. This study was carried out with three different batches of milk using diafiltration. Samples were characterized by physicochemical properties; evolution of microbial load and protein (RP-HPLC). Ceramic MF (pore size 1.4 μm) did not change the protein profile, but reduced microbial load by up to 2 log CFU/mL. Polymeric MF (pore size 0.1 μm) was not a sterilizing process since all samples from the permeate presented bacterial growth after 6 days. Protein degradation was observed after 13 days at 4 °C in all studied products. Caseins (CN) were much more affected than whey proteins. β-CN A2 content was reduced by 25–50%, αs1-CN by 30% and β-CN A1 by 10–30%.; κ-CN was the most stable casein. The contents of the whey proteins remained unaltered for 21 days. Protein degradation was likely due to the action of endogenous and bacterial enzymes.

    Combined effect of nisin addition and high pressure processing on the stability of liquid micellar casein concentrates
    (Elsevier Science, 2022) García Amezqueta, Arantza; Iturmendi Vizcay, Nerea; Maté Caballero, Juan Ignacio; Fernández García, Teresa; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua
    The combined effect of high pressure (HP) processing and the addition of nisin on the microbial quality of liquid micellar casein concentrates (LMCCs) at two different concentrations (7 and 10%) were investigated. Two pressure levels were applied (300 and 450 MPa over 5 min) with three different nisin levels (0, 250, and 500 IU mL 1). Microbial and physicochemical quality were studied at day 0 and after 7 days at 10 C. Results indicated that low-intensity HP treatment (300 MPa) alone or in combination with nisin was not effective enough to limit microbial growth after storage (10 C, 7 days). However, 450 MPa HP treatment combined with nisin addition showed efficiency in bacterial control, without affecting physicochemical properties (acidity, pH, and colour). It has been proved that nisin has the potential to enhance the bacteriological effectiveness of HP processing and thus extend the self-life of LMCCs without altering their physicochemical properties.
