The formation of complexes between whey proteins and carboxymethyl cellulose modified with substituents of increased hydrophobicity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Summary
The precipitation of proteins from whey by modified carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was examined. Carboxymethyl cellulose containing acetyl, methoxyl or carboxymethyl secondary amides with iso-propyl, n-propyl, iso-butyl, n-butyl or cyclohexyl side chains precipitated more protein than did CMC of similar carboxyl content. This effect was greatest in CMC containing secondary amide groups. The increase in protein precipitation gained by introduction of secondary amide groups into CMC was no greater however than the increase obtained by introduction of a similar number of carboxymethyl groups into the polymer. Carboxyethyl cellulose did not form insoluble complexes with whey proteins under the conditions examined.
