Background: Fat-filled whey powder is a type of whey powder that has been developed in recent years and is widely applied in the dry processing of infant formula milk powder. The addition of sodium caseinate, dextrin, or modified starch as emulsifiers can also improve the stability of fat-filled whey powders. However, regulations forbid the use of these substances as raw materials in powdered infant formulas. The development of new natural emulsifiers is therefore essential.
Results: A pre-emulsification process (P-EP) with heat-treated whey protein (HWP) increased the solubility of fat-filled whey powders, reduced the Turbiscan stability index value, and reduced surface fat content. Microstructural analysis showed that the fat-filled whey powder in the experimental group (≤35 wt% fat in dry matter) exhibited a more uniform particle distribution in comparison with a control group.
