Casein - A Unique Milk Protein
Abstract: Milk is a nutrient-rich food that contains proteins, fats, lactose, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other organic compounds. Essential for young mammals, milk proteins provide amino acids, nitrogen, and minerals necessary for muscle and tissue development. In human nutrition, milk is valued for its digestibility and as a source of calcium and phosphorus, crucial for infant growth. Milk proteins are classified into two primary types: caseins, which make up 75–80% of …

High Pressure Processing and Its Impact on Milk Proteins: A Review
Abstract: High pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal or cold pasteurization technique topreserve various food products. High pressure in range of 100–1000 MPa affects size,shape and conformation of various milk proteins. Casein micelles having primaryconformation are not affected under low pressure, but disintegrate at high pressure(300 MPa). β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) is one of the most pressure-sensitive proteins and α-lactalbumin (α-la) is one of the most pressure resistant. Bovine serum albumin,lactoferrin and immunoglobulins …
