Abstract

ABSTRACT
One source of high protein food origin of animal protein is whey protein as a cheese processing waste. The addition of whey protein causes the product become tougher by using heat. Whey protein modification due to denaturation process can act as a structure enhancer by changes in solubility to result the brittle product. Whey protein used to increase biological value, sensory properties and the muscle mass also develop physical properties of food and to reduce the obesity, unfortunately the pre-clinical data remain unclear. This experiment performed the pre-clinical study of denaturized whey protein concentrate (WPC) by using male (Sparague-Dawley) for 21 concecutive days of denaturized WPC administration. The rats divided into five diet treatments (Standard Food (SF) + Semi Solid High Protein Food (SSHPF) with denaturized WPC 6.59%, 10%, 15%, 15% satellite and control. There was an increase in body weight after SSHPF treatment, and showed that body weight gain elevate significantly (p
