Investigation 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...

Investigation of milk proteins binding to the oral mucosa.

High protein dairy beverages are considered to be mouth drying. The drying sensation may be due to the product protein content; however the mechanism of this mouth drying is uncertain. This study investigated the potential adhesion of milk proteins to porcine oral mucosa in vitro. Purified casein and β-lactoglobulin were fluorescently labelled, placed on porcine oral mucosal tissues and their r...

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...
