RESUMO

Cheese whey, which is pollutant to the environment, has proteins with high nutritional value, even though their concentrations are at levels lower than 1 %. In this work the ultrafiltration was used as a concentration process. The whey proteins concentrated by ultrafiltration (WPCU) were obtained with different protein concentrations (varying between 4.5 and 7.5 %). The WPCU were characterized by their proximate composition, protein denaturation and aglomeration, and the functional properties of gel forming, emulsification and foaming capacity. The results show that the ultrafiltration is an efficient process to concentrate only the proteins and fat from the whey components, in practical terms. The WPCU showed excellent gelling and emulsifying capacities, however, WPCU did not form foams probably due to the high fat levels present in the samples. Freezing decreased the gelling capacity but did not affect the emulsifying capacity. The adjustment of the pH of the samples to 4.6 decreased both properties whereas adjustment to pH 8.5 increased the functional properties but the flavour of the samples were not acceptable. The gelled and emulsified samples had excelent stability. These results show possibilities of using WPCU in foods such as puddings, baby foods, sausages, ice creams, mayonnaise, salad dressings, soups and others.
