The surface properties and mixed micellization behaviour of single gemini bis(hexadecyldimethylammonium) pentane dibromide (G5) surfactant, three conventional surfactants (Cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonioinic Polyethylene glycol dodecyl ether (Brij35)) and their equimolar binary mixtures have been investigated by surface tension and ...

Background When exclusive breastfeeding is not possible, partially hydrolyzed formula (PHF) often used as a starter for infants. Some children develop allergic symptoms, including anaphylaxis, after the first intake of cow protein. Therefore, tolerability PHF in infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA) important information. Partially whey (PHWF) well characterized, but those containing both and c...

The aims of this study were to: (1) determine whether replacement of cow's milk protein with soy resolves Chronic Functional Constipation (CFC); and (2) investigate the effects of cow's milk β casein A1 and cow's milk β casein A2 on CFC. Children diagnosed with CFC were recruited to one of two crossover trials: Trial 1 compared the effects of cow's milk and soy milk; Trial 2 compared the effect...

In this study, we describe the characterization of microbial Transglutaminase -modified casein using a combination of immunological and proteomic techniques. Using 5-(biotinamido)pentylamine as an acyl acceptor probe, three Q residues of β-casein and one of αs1-casein were found to participate as acyl donors. However, no Q-residues were involved in network formation with κ-casein or αs2-casein....

The size distribution and protein composition of casein micelles in the milk of Holstein-Friesian cows was determined as a function of stage and number of lactations. Protein composition did not vary significantly between the milks of different cows or as a function of lactation stage. Differences in the size and polydispersity of the casein micelles were observed between the milks of different...
