Consumption of moderate amounts of animal-derived protein has been shown to differently influence skeletal muscle hypertrophy during resistance training when compared with nitrogenous and isoenergetic amounts of plant-based protein administered in small to moderate doses. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine if the post-exercise consumption of rice protein isolate could increase...

Heating protein with polysaccharide under neutral or near neutral pH can induce the formation of soluble complex with improved functional properties. The objective of our research was to investigate the effects of λ-carrageenan (λC) concentrations and pH on foaming properties of heated whey protein isolate (WPI) and λC soluble complex (h-cpx) in comparison to heated WPI with added λC (pWPI-λC),...

Tang JE, Moore DR, Kujbida GW, Tarnopolsky MA, Phillips SM. Ingestion of whey hydrolysate, casein, or soy protein isolate: effects on mixed muscle protein synthesis at rest and following resistance exercise in young men. J Appl Physiol 107: 987–992, 2009. First published July 9, 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00076.2009.— This study was designed to compare the acute response of mixed muscle pro...

Background Athletes have a choice of different animal (e.g. whey, casein, egg, beef, fish) or plant protein (e.g. soy, rice, pea, hemp) sources, which differ in numerous ways such as the presence of allergens (lactose, soy), cholesterol, saturated fats, digestion rate (fast, intermediate, or slow absorption of amino acids), or the relative amount of individual amino acids. While digestibility o...

In this study, antimicrobial activity of chitosan and whey protein isolate edible films incorporated with different concentrations of zataria multiflora Boiss essential oil ;ZEO (1%, 2%, 3% and 4% v/v) and zataria multiflora Boiss essential oil nanoliposome (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4%) against  Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19118), Bacillus cereus (ATCC 11778), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 65138), Escheri...

Combined effect of whey protein isolate and low temperature with nisin on survival of Bacillus licheniformis were investigated. Sterile imitated milk solution prepared from casein, milk fat, lactose and distilled water was mixed with different whey protein isolate levels of 0, 1, 2 and 4% (w/v) and 100 IU/ml nisin. After mixed thoroughly, the milk solution was aseptically inoculated with 3.74-3...

An increasing number of studies indicate that dairy products, including whey protein, alleviate several disorders of the metabolic syndrome. Here, we investigated the effects of whey protein isolate (whey) in mice fed a high-fat diet hypothesising that the metabolic effects of whey would be associated with changes in the gut microbiota composition. Five-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed a hig...
