The trypsin was used to hydrolyze commercial casein at varied times and pH range. The functional properties studied were the emulsifying capacity (EC), the emulsifying activity index (EAI), and the emulsion stability (ES). The dispersed phase used was corn oil. The tryptic hydrolysis was beneficial to the solubility and EC of casein in practically all pH values and reaction times. In case of EAI, this same effect was less intense and was observed only in acid region (pH 3.0 to 5.0), while for ES the trypsin action was mainly deleterious in almost all pH range and reaction times.
