Dynamic Mechanical Analysis as a Complementary Technique for Stickiness Determination in Model Whey Protein Powders

The α-relaxation temperatures (T<sub>α</sub>), derived from the storage and loss moduli using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), were compared to methods for stickiness and glass transition determination for a selection of model whey protein concentrate (WPC) powders with varying protein...
