Foams were formed by whipping whey protein solutions (15% w/v protein) containing NaCl, CaCl(2), lactose, or glycine. Foam overrun and yield stress were determined. Foams made from whey protein ingredients have greater overrun and yield stress if the concentration of β-lactoglobulin is high relative to a-lactalbumin. The presence of 0.4 M CaCl(2) in the foaming solution increases overrun and yield stress for β-lactoglobulin and a-lactalbumin. The high yield stress of β-lactoglobulin and a-lactalbumin foams made from solutions containing CaCl(2) suggests that CaCl(2) is altering rheological properties of the interfacial protein film and/or contributing to protein aggregation or network formation in the lamellae.
