Values are the means of three measurements±SD.
Mean values in the same column with different letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
Control, no protein/polysaccharide complexes; MPI/κ-Car EC, milk protein isolate/κ-carrageenan electrostatic complexes; MPI/κ-Car MC, milk protein isolate/κ-carrageenan Maillard conjugates.
