Transport of beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin in enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells.

چکیده
The transport of [14C]-radiolabelled beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin through Caco-2 cell monolayers grown on permeable filters was studied in order to evaluate the different protein pathways through the intestinal epithelium. beta-Lactoglobulin or alpha-lactalbumin (0.25-3 mg/ml) was introduced on the apical side of the monolayer and both the transport and the release of labelled material from the cells were measured following different incubation times. The labelled material was analysed by either trichloroacetic acid precipitation or by high pressure liquid chromatography. Despite some differences between the 2 proteins, the overall mechanism followed approximately the same pattern. Part of the intact internalized protein was either recycled (10-15%) or transported via transcytosis (about 5%). Another pathway corresponded to the intracellular degradation of the protein. The calculation of the different routes followed by the proteins indicated that the main part of the degraded fraction (about 70%) was recycled whereas approximately 30% was transported to the other side. Moreover, 5-10% of the endocytosed material was retained intracellularly.

Analysis of bovine whey proteins in soybean dairy-like products by capillary electrophoresis.
The simultaneous separation of bovine whey proteins [alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin (A+B)] and soybean proteins was performed, for the first time, by capillary electrophoresis. Different experimental conditions were tested. The most suitable consisted of 0.050 M phosphate buffer (pH 8) with 1 M urea and 1.2 mg/ml methylhydroxyethylcellulose, UV detection at 280 nm, 15 kV applied volta...

Selective separation of the major whey proteins using ion exchange membranes.
Synthetic microporous membranes with functional groups covalently attached were used to selectively separate beta-lactoglobulin, BSA, and alpha-lactalbumin from rennet whey. The selectivity and membrane performance of strong (quaternary ammonium) and weak (diethylamine) ion-exchange membranes were studied using breakthrough curves, measurement of binding capacity, and protein composition of the...

A two-step-cascade membrane separation by ultrafiltration was performed on caprine milk prepared under different temperature conditions to eliminate beta-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) from the whey fraction. Effects of temperature treatment and membrane pore size on the elimination of β-Lg and retention of alpha-lactalbumin (α-La) were examined to determine the optimum permeate fraction for production o...
