BACKGROUND Milk is a complex liquid that provides nutrition to newborns. Recent reports demonstrated that milk is enriched in maternal-derived exosomes that are involved in fetal physiological and pathological conditions by transmission of exosomal mRNAs, miRNAs and proteins. Until now, there is no such research relevant to exosomal mRNAs and proteins in porcine milk, therefore, we have attempt...

The discovery of biomarkers in milk indicative of local inflammation or disease in the bovine mammary gland has been hindered by the extreme biological complexity of milk, the dynamic range of proteins in the matrix that renders the identification of low-abundance proteins difficult, and the challenges associated with quantifying changes during disease in the abundance of proteins for which no ...

Although milk salts are classified as micronutrients, they strongly affect the behaviour of proteins and physical stability dairy products. This review focuses on heat-induced changes in salts, with particular emphasis salt speciation, precipitation association proteins. In other liquids at neutral pH, heating results calcium phosphates. These precipitates may become stabilised by caseins casei...

background: genetic polymorphism of milk proteins has been associated with composition, manufacture, and traits of milk. caseins are the most important milk proteins whose genes are strongly linked and inherited as a raceme. κ-casein which is a quantitatively minor constituent of bovine milk is thought to play a critical role in organization, fixation and aggregation of casein micelles and firm...

Epidemiological studies suggest that milk consumption and dietary intake of dairy proteins are inversely related to the risk for hypertension. Also, some intervention studies have shown a blood pressure-lowering effect of milk products and dairy proteins. Milk peptides are formed from milk proteins by enzymatic breakdown by digestive enzymes or by the proteinases formed by lactobacilli during t...

The chitosan-induced coacervation of milk proteins was investigated using a proteomic approach. The addition of 0.8% chitosan to milk caused the milk proteins to coacervate after a 1 h incubation period. Approximately 86% of the milk proteins were present in the milk pellet fraction (MPF), and the protein concentration of the milk supernatant fraction (MSF) decreased from 29.4±0.2 to 4.2±0.6 mg...

Heat treatment affects the molecular structure of milk proteins at the interfaces of oil-in-water emulsions and in aqueous media. Experimental evidence of the impact of thermal processing on milk protein structure is presented and the contribution of whey proteins and caseins at film formation during emulsification is discussed. Recent advances in understanding the effect of heat treatment in m...

The abundant proteins in human milk have been well characterized and are known to provide nutritional, protective, and developmental advantages to both term and preterm infants. However, relatively little is known about the expression of the low abundance proteins that are present in human milk because of the technical difficulties associated with their detection. We used a combination of elect...
