    Abstract:
    Lactose hydrolysed concentrated milk was prepared using β-galactosidase enzyme (4.76U/mL) with a reaction period of 12 h at 4 °C. Addition of polysaccharides (5 % maltodextrin/β-cyclodextrin) to concentrated milk either before or after lactose hydrolysis did not result in significant differences (p > 0.05) in degree of hydrolysis (% DH) of lactose and residual lactose content (%). Three different inlet temperatures (165 °C, 175 °C and 185 °C) were used for the preparation of powders which were later characterised based on physico-chemical and maillard browning characteristics. Moisture content, solubility and available lysine content of the powders decreased significantly, whereas, browning parameters i.e., browning index, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furosine content increased significantly (p < 0.05) with an increase in inlet air temperature. The powder was finally prepared with 5 % polysaccharide and an inlet air temperature of 185 °C which reduced maillard browning. Protein-polysaccharide interactions were identified using Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and determination of free amino groups in the powder samples. Maltodextrin and β-cyclodextrin containing powder samples exhibited lower free amino groups and higher degree of graft value as compared to control sample which indicated protein-polysaccharide interactions. Results obtained from Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy also confirmed strong protein-polysaccharide interactions, moreover a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity was also observed in the powder samples. These interactions between the proteins and polysaccharides reduced the maillard browning in powders.
