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...

This paper reviews the literature on the interactions of the caseins and suggests that the state of association of these proteins is governed by a balance of attractive hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic repulsion. The effects of temperature, pH and ionic strength on the self-association and calcium-induced aggregation of the individual caseins are rationalized in terms of their influen...

This research focused on understanding physical and chemical changes occurring to concentrated milk protein suspensions as a function of time. Skim (untreated heat treated at 90°C for 10 min) was 6 times the original volume using osmotic stressing, noninvasive concentration method, maintaining serum composition close possible that native milk. A protease inhibitor cocktail, with broad specifici...

Caseins, the main milk proteins, interact with colloidal calcium phosphate to form the casein micelle. The mesostructure of this supramolecular assembly markedly influences its nutritional and technological functionalities. However, its detailed molecular organization and the cellular mechanisms involved in its biogenesis have been only partially established. There is a growing body of evidence...

Propolis is strong adhesive material with one of most valuable bees product and has wide range of biological activities such as antibacterials, antiviruses, antifungals, antiinflammation, photoprotector and so on. Propolis has been aplied as antimicrobials agent in food and healtcare products. To improve handling properties, Indonesian propolis were encapsulated by casein micelle with a homogen...
