The results are presented as mean±SD.
Means with the different letter in the column for reduced-fat cheese emulsion sample group with 15% DM having different MWP are significantly different (p<0.05).
MWP, microparticulated whey protein; FF 25, full-fat cheese emulsion with 25% DM; RF 25, reduced-fat cheese emulsion with 25% DM; RF 20, reduced-fat cheese emulsion with 20% DM; RF 15, reduced-fat cheese emulsion with 15% DM.
