Fish oil was incor
porated into milk under different homogenization tem
peratures (50 and 72

C) and
pressures (5, 15, and 22.5 MPa). Subsequently, the oxidative stability of the milk and changes in the
protein com
position of the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) were examined. Results showed thathigh
pressure and high tem
perature (72

C and 22.5 MPa) resulted in less li
pid oxidation, whereaslow
pressure and low tem
perature (50

C and 5 MPa) resulted in faster li
pid oxidation. Analysis of
protein oxidation indicated that es
pecially casein was
prone to oxidation. The level of free thiol grou
pswas increased by high tem
perature (72

C) and with increasing
pressure. Furthermore, SDS-PAGEand confocal laser scanning microsco
py (CLSM) indicated that high tem
perature resulted in anincrease in

-lactoglobulin adsorbed at the oil-water interface. This was even more
pronouncedwith higher
pressure. Less casein seemed to be
present at the oil-water interface with increasing
pressure. Overall, the results indicated that a combination of more

-lactoglobulin and less casein atthe oil-water interface gave the most stable emulsions with res
