Structures and Properties of Adsorbed Layers in Emulsions Containing Milk Proteins

1 Introduction

It is probably no exaggeration to say that there are more papers written on the adsorption and surfactant properties of milk proteins than on the same properties of all other food proteins put together. As a result, we understand more of the behaviour of the milk proteins than of most other groups of food proteins. For example, descriptions have been given of systems which contain not only protein and oil but other components such as small molecule surfactants (Tweens, lecithins, glycerol monoesters). Most of this research has been performed in the course of the last 15 years, and has coincided with an increase in the industrial uses of dairy proteins in food emulsions, and a more general interest in the emulsifying properties of proteins.

For the researcher, milk provides a number of proteins of different structures and properties which can be fairly readily separated from one another (in the laboratory, at least). The major proteins in milk, the caseins (αs, β and κ), generally lack large amounts of regular structure; they are considered to be rather flexible molecules, a property which is likely to enhance their surfactant properties. In contrast to the caseins, there are the whey, or serum, proteins, (α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin and immunoglobulins) which are characterized by well defined three-dimensional structures held together by disulfide bridges; these proteins are much more rigid than the caseins. The use of individual proteins, and mixtures of them, to prepare emulsions may potentially allow for the formation of particles having a range of structures and potential functionalities, although this has still to be established in detail.

Most of the research has so far been performed using single purified proteins, or on simple mixtures of them; however, it should be remembered that in milk the caseins naturally form aggregated particles (the casein micelles), and that these can also be used to emulsify fats and oils, as in homogenized milks. Although the latter have received comparatively little research attention relative to other model emulsions, they may become of increased importance, since it is now possible to use microfiltration techniques to isolate a slightly modified micellar fraction from milk; the functional properties, including emulsification, of this fraction therefore need to be established.

This review deals with the properties of the different milk proteins adsorbed to oil–water interfaces. In particular, it contrasts the behaviour of the whey proteins and the caseins in terms of adsorption, and it describes how this may affect the structures of the adsorbed layers of protein at the oil–water interface.

2 Protein Adsorption and Particle Sizes in Emulsions

Both of the major whey proteins, β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin, adsorb to oil–water interfaces and are capable of giving stable emulsions. Indeed, singly or in combination, these proteins are excellent emulsifying agents, and their emulsions are only a little less stable than those produced using caseins. For emulsions prepared under the same conditions (concentrations of oil and protein, pH, homogenization pressure), the droplet sizes in the whey protein emulsions are somewhat greater than those in the casein-stabilized emulsions when the concentration of protein is low (<1 %), but identical at higher concentrations (Figure 1). This Figure also emphasizes the effect of the concentration of protein on the sizes of the emulsion droplets. It has been known in practice that such a relationship exists, but it has been recently established that the protein concentration affects not only the droplet sizes, but also the protein load (amount of protein per unit area of the oil–water interface); it therefore may also potentially affect the properties of the emulsion droplets.

Figure 2 shows that in emulsions prepared with 20 wt% oil and whey protein in the concentration range 0–3 wt%, the surface concentration (Γ) increases in a series of steps, from 1.5 to 3 mg m-2 as the concentration of protein in the mixture is increased from 0.3 to 3 wt%. It is possible that the last of these steps may arise from multilayer formation, but the others appear to arise from conformational rearrangement of the protein, or different spatial distribution of the protein molecules at the interface. In casein-stabilized emulsions, the surface concentration of protein depends even more strongly on the total concentration of protein in the emulsion. It is possible to make a stable emulsion containing casein when the surface concentration is as little as 1 mg m-2 (Figure 2). That is, if droplets are coated with less than that amount of casein, they will coalesce until the surface area has decreased sufficiently for there to be enough casein to cover it at about this minimum level of Γ. For an emulsion containing 20 wt% oil, the lower limit of the casein concentration is about 0.3%. However, as the amount of casein increases, so does the surface concentration, until an upper limit is reached at about 3 mg m-2, when the casein concentration is about 2%. Unlike the results found for whey proteins, Γ increases smoothly with the concentration of casein, and there are no steps in the function to suggest multilayer formation. The results from both sets of proteins show that, by careful manipulation of the homogenization conditions, and the concentrations of oil and protein, it is possible to produce a range of emulsions with different protein surface concentrations.

3 Competition between Proteins during and after Emulsion Formation

Once the emulsion has been formed, and the proteins have adsorbed, it is generally accepted that the adsorption process is largely irreversible, and that, in the absence of other agents, adsorbed proteins will not wash off the interface. It is possible that β-casein is an exception to this rule: exchange of labelled β-casein between the solution and the interface has been demonstrated. Also, extremely thorough washing of latex particles to which β-casein has adsorbed, by passing them through a long column, reduces the surface concentration from 3 mg m-2 to 1 mg m-2. It is not established whether a similar washing phenomenon occurs when the protein is adsorbed to oil–water interfaces.
