Effect of microbial transglutaminase crosslinking on the functional properties of yak caseins: a comparison with cow caseins

Microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) crosslinking is a useful method for significantly improving the physical functionality of proteins. This study focused on the effect of mTGase modification on the functional properties of yak and cow caseins, including solubility, emulsifying property, water and oil absorption capacity, foaming property, and stability in the presence of Na, Ca, and Mg. The re...

Sequence analysis of Camelus dromedarius milk caseins.

Alpha s1-, alpha s2-, beta- and kappa-caseins from Somali camels (Camelus dromedarius) were purified by acid precipitation at pH 4.4, crudely separated into an alpha-CN and a beta-CN fraction and further purified by reversed-phase HPLC. Fragments of tryptic digests were sequenced. Amino acid patterns obtained were used to screen a cDNA library constructed from mRNA from lactating udder tissue. ...

SMALL u κ AND LARGE 2 κ FOR SUPERCOMPACT κ

Garti and Shelah [2] state that one can force uκ to be κ+ for supercompact κ with 2κ arbitrarily large, using the technique of Džamonja and Shelah [1]. Here we spell out how this can be done. §

Optimisation of Indirect Competitive ELISAs of α-, β-, and κ-caseins for the Recognition of Thermal and Proteolytic Treatment of Milk and Milk Products

VÍTKOVÁ M., RAUCH P., FUKAL L. (2002): Optimisation of indirect competitive ELISAs of α-, β-, and κ-caseins for the recognition of thermal and proteolytic treatment of milk and milk products. Czech J. Food Sci., 20: 53–62. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against six immunogens (three native and three thermally treated casein fractions: α+β-casein, κ-casein and whole casein). Using these antib...
