The influence of pH and CaCl2 on the physical stability of dilute oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by whey protein isolate has been studied. The particle size, zeta potential and creaming stability of 0.05 wt% soy bean oil-in-water emulsions (d approximate to 0.53 mu m) were measured with varying pH (3 to 7) and CaCl2 concentration (0 to 20 mu M). In the absence of CaCl2 extensive droplet aggregation occurred around the isoelectric point of the whey proteins (4 < pH < 6) because of their low electrical charge, which led to creaming instability. Droplet aggregation occurred at higher pH when CaCl2 was added to the emulsions. The minimum concentration of CaCl2 required to promote aggregation increased as the pH increased. Aggregation was induced in the presence of CaCl2 probably because of the reduction in electrostatic repulsion between droplets, caused by binding of counter ions to droplet surfaces and electrostatic screening effects.
