Abstract
⺠Casein and whey protein emulsions were destabilized in the presence of Ca2+. ⺠Lactoferrin-stabilized emulsion was stable in the presence of Ca2+. ⺠Lactoferrin binds to the interface of casein or whey protein emulsion droplets. ⺠Ca2+ stability of emulsions was improved by interfacial lactoferrin complexation. ⺠Steric repulsion produced by lactoferrin molecules may prevent Ca2+ flocculation.
