Table 4. Flow behavior of rehydrated milk beverages with agglomerated WPI-fortified SMP samples

Sample Apparent viscosity ηa,10 (mPa s) Power law
n K (mPa sn) r2
SMP 7.14±0.45a 1.02±0.07a 6.72±1.55a 0.98
SMP9/WPI1 8.10±1.02a 0.98±0.02a 8.58±1.35a 0.98
SMP8/WPI2 8.94±0.44b 0.91±0.02b 10.96±0.72b 0.97
SMP7/WPI3 10.99±0.68c 0.76±0.03c 19.21±2.22c 0.98
Values are the means of three measurements±SD.
Mean values in the same column with different letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
The SMP (skim milk powder) was mixed with WPI (whey protein isolate) at different ratios of 9:1 (SMP9/WPI1), 8:2 (SMP8/WPI2), and 7:3 (SMP7/WPI3).
