Proteins from underutilized defatted oilseed meals have been proposed as promising sources of bioactive peptides. This study was conducted to determine the anti-inflammatory activities five proteins (flaxseed, rapeseed, sunflower, sesame and soybean) hydrolysed via alcalase, pepsin (at pH 1.3 2.1), respectively, compare these against two dairy (whey, casein). The potential protein hydrolysates ...

An alternative electrophoretic method that improves the separation, identification and relative quantification of bovine milk casein fractions and casein hydrolysates was developed. The method is based in the Tricine-SDS-PAGE technique while the relative quantification of milk proteins has been achieved by digital densitometry. The advantages of this procedure for milk proteins and milk protein...

This study describes amaranth’s protein cholesterol-lowering effect and investigates its mechanisms hypercholesterolaemia was induced in male hamsters through diet rich in casein (300 g/kg diet) containing regular levels of cholesterol (0.5 kg/g) fed during 3 weeks. Animals were divided into three groups and fed ad libitum diets for 4 weeks containing as the sole source of protein: casein (cont...

Studies have demonstrated that isolated soya protein (ISP) can slow the progression of renal injury, reduce blood pressure and improve the serum lipid profile in experimental animals and human subjects. The mechanisms and components of soya responsible have not been fully established. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of the hydrophilic supernatant fraction (SF) and the hyd...

In dairy industry there has always been great concern about the microbial and protein quality of liquid milk fractions obtained by microfiltration (MF). The objectives research were to study impact MF on evolution microfiltered (MFM), micellar casein concentrates (LMCC) serum permeates (SP) during storage at 4 °C. This was carried out with three different batches using diafiltration. Samples ch...

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...

Studies have suggested that nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EV) in human and bovine milk carry immune modulatory properties which could provide beneficial health effects to infants. In order to assess the possible health effects of milk EV, it is essential to use isolates of high purity from other more abundant milk structures with well-documented bioactive properties. Furthermore, gentle iso...
