Genetic modification of milk proteins

Health-Related Aspects of Milk Proteins

Milk is an important component of a balanced diet and contains many valuable constituents. A considerable part of the milk healthbenefits is related to its proteins, not only for their nutritive value but also for their biological properties. Scientific evidence suggests that anticarcinogenic activities, antihypertensive properties, immune system modulation, and other metabolic features of milk...

Deciphering the Genetic Blueprint behind Holstein Milk Proteins and Production

Holstein is known to provide higher milk yields than most other cattle breeds, and the dominant position of Holstein today is the result of various selection pressures. Holstein cattle have undergone intensive selection for milk production in recent decades, which has left genome-wide footprints of domestication. To further characterize the bovine genome, we performed whole-genome resequencing ...

Milk proteomics Linking genetic and isoform variation of milk proteins to technological properties of bovine milk PhD thesis

Fractionation of milk proteins.

No group of proteins has been as extensively investigated or as well characterized as bovine milk proteins. This can be attributed not only to the importance of milk as a food and as a raw material for a vast processing industry, but also to its convenience as an abundant source of relatively pure protein of varied structure and properties. In spite of the vast range of information available, h...
