Human and bovine milk differ substantially in the ratio of whey to casein protein ( 60:40 in human milk and 20:80 in bovine milk) and in the proportions of specific proteins. Although current infant formulas closely mimic the ratio of total whey to casein in human milk, the concentration of -lactalbumin (the dominant protein in human milk) is relatively low in formula, whereas -lactoglobulin, a...
