Proteins from underutilized defatted oilseed meals have been proposed as promising sources of bioactive peptides. This study was conducted to determine the anti-inflammatory activities five proteins (flaxseed, rapeseed, sunflower, sesame and soybean) hydrolysed via alcalase, pepsin (at pH 1.3 2.1), respectively, compare these against two dairy (whey, casein). The potential protein hydrolysates ...

casein possesses important physiological and biological properties with regard to promotion of health, as well as prevention of diseases. anticarcinogenic activities, reduction in the risk factors of cardiovascular disease and anticariogenic features have been associated with casein. in addition, casein is known as a source of bioactive peptides. casein-derived peptides have been found to have ...

The aim of this study was to produce a colloidally stable whey protein concentrate enriched in β-casein. Microfiltration (MF) skim milk completed at ∼7 °C (pore size 0.1 μm) followed by ultrafiltration the MF permeate ∼9 β-casein-whey fraction (BWPC). casein:whey ratio BWPC system ∼25:75. Skim then added retentate level supplying 0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% (w/w) total protein, evaporation spray dryin...

Curcumin (CUR) is the active curcuminoid with many physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological properties. Solubility and stability of CUR is the limiting factors for realizing its therapeutic potential. Bovine β-casein is an abundant milk protein that is highly amphiphilic and self-assembles into stable micellar nanoparticles in aqueous solution. β-Casein nanoparticle can solubilize CUR mo...
