Article Abstract
There are two types of milk whey obtained from cheese manufacture: sweet and acid. It retains around 55% of the nutrients of the milk. Milk whey is considered as a waste, creating a critical pollution problem, because 9 L of whey are produced from every 10 L of milk. Some treatments such as hydrolysis by chemical, fermentation process, enzymatic action, and green technologies (ultrasound and thermal treatment) are successful in obtaining peptides from protein whey. Milk whey peptides possess excellent functional properties such as antihypertensive, antiviral, anticancer, immunity, and antioxidant, with benefits in the cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, immune, and nervous system. This review presents an update of the applications of milk whey hydrolysates as a high value-added peptide based on their functional properties.

There is a need for sustainable food production and processing that reduces resource use and increases the availability of nutritious, innovative, and sustainable food. A coordinated, multisectoral approach across the food supply chain is essential to address global food and nutrition insecurity. The dairy industry produces abundant bioactive compound streams that can be examined for their valuable functionalities.

For recovering whey soybean protein (WSP) from soybean whey wastewater (SWW) in food industry, a foam separation method for separating WSP by using temperature-responsive Janus sheets (MF-JNSs-PN) as foam stabilizer was established. MF-JNSs-PN was prepared by grafting the temperature-responsive polymer PNIPAM onto one side of the sheet inorganic material using BSA@Cu(PO)-MF as the template. MF-JNSs-PN has a good ability to stabilize the foam due to inducing the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity transition by adjusting the temperature.

Whey protein isolate (WPI) is an important food ingredient, but its high allergenicity limit its application. Recently, metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have been shown to be effective in modifying proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MPNs formed from (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and Fe on the structure, antibody-binding capacity, and functional properties of WPI.

This study systematically compared the effects of microwave (MW) and conventional thermal (CT) processing on microbial inactivation, enzyme activity, protein retention, and nutritional characteristics of bovine milk under pasteurization (70 °C for 20 s) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) sterilization conditions. Both technologies achieved effective microbial reduction (>4 log CFU/mL) for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp., complying with EU and FDA safety standards.
