Encapsulation of calcium carbonate particles was studied as fat globule mimetics (FGMs). Casein-maltodextrin conjugates produced smaller FGMs than the unconjugated mixture. FGMs with conjugates were stable in skim milk during 10-day storage at 5 °C. FGMs with conjugates increased the desirable turbidity and viscosity of skim milk. FGMs with conjugates induced the undesirable redness and yellowness of skim milk.
