Milk protein concentrates (MPC) are widespread food ingredients, due to their high protein-to-solids ratio, nutritional value, and technological properties, which can be tailored various end uses. Interest has been given modifying such ingredients through enzymatic cross-linking by microbial transglutaminase. However, no systematic studies on the kinetics of casein micelles at different concent...

Surface physico-chemical and thermodynamic properties of non ionic surfactants (Tween 20 and Tween 80) with diblock copolymer poly (oxyethylene/oxybutylene) (E39B19) at 298 K have been investigated by surface tension and conductivity techniques. The surface tensiometery were used to study the critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface excess concentration (Г), minimum area per molecule (A), ...

BACKGROUND Cow's milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies among younger children. We investigated IgE antibodies to milk, and IgE and IgG4 antibodies to casein, α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin in cow's milk allergic (CMA) and non-allergic (non-CMA) children in order to study their clinical usefulness. METHODS Eighty-three children with suspected milk allergy (median age: 3.5 ye...

Cheese production is relied upon the action of rennet (a mixture of chymosin and pepsin) onto casein micelles of milk. For the first time, the monitoring of this interaction with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to develop a faradic impedimetric biosensor for the assessment of the clotting activity of rennet, using hexacyanoferrate(II)/(III) couple as a redox probe. Gold el...

Abstract To investigate the influence of internal micellar structure on course enzymatic cross-linking especially in initial phase reaction, casein micelles isolated from raw milk via ultracentrifugation were incubated with microbial transglutaminase (mTG) comparison non-micellar sodium caseinate. Reactive lysine and glutamine residues identified using a label-free approach, based identificatio...

The mixed micellization of adiphenine hydrochloride (ADP) with 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C10mim.Cl), was investigated at different mole fractions and temperatures by surface tension measurements. The synergistic behavior (i.e., non-ideal behavior) for binary mixtures was explained by the deviation of critical micelle concentration (cmc) from ideal critical micelle concentration (cmc...

UNLABELLED Lung cancer is one of the most lethal forms of cancer and current chemotherapeutic strategies lack broad specificity and efficacy. Recently, β-lapachone (β-lap) was shown to be highly efficacious in killing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells regardless of their p53, cell cycle and caspase status. Pre-clinical and clinical use of β-lap (clinical form, ARQ501 or 761) is hampered ...

In this study, it was aimed to investigate α -S1-casein and β -lactoglobulin levels some biochemical mineral values in raw milk samples obtained from cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats raised Samsun. The study material consisted of 40 taken goats, sheep buffaloes after milking a farm Samsun province Bafra district. α-S1-casein β-lactoglobulin serum were determined using ELISA test kits. Calcium (Ca)...

The aims of this study were to estimate the effect cow breed on milk protein profile, and assess relationship between profile coagulation properties (MCP) predicted with mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIRS). dataset included 173,841 test-day observations 12,533 specialised (Holstein-Friesian [HF] Brown Swiss [BS]) dual-purpose cows (Simmental [SI] Alpine Grey) sampled in 488 multi-breed herds.
