Abstract:
Whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) were prepared from whey protein concentrate (WPC) by partial or extensive hydrolysis. WPC and two WPH types were characterized by a descriptive sensory analysis. WPC exhibited a "milky", "sweet", and "mild milk fat" odor, whereas extensively hydrolyzed whey protein (E-WPH) demonstrated "cheese-like", "acrid odor", and "sour" olfactory characteristics. In E-WPH, 3-(methylthio)-propanal, phenylacetaldehyde, and 3-methylbutanoic acid were specifically detected with high flavor dilution factors upon aroma extract dilution analysis. These odor-active compounds likely contributed to the olfactory characteristics of E-WPH, and their concentration increased together with that of their respective putative precursors: free methionine, phenylalanine, and leucine.

Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
