Preparation of casein phosphopeptides and characterization of their calcium binding and allergenicity

nzymatic hydrolysis is considered a desirable treatment for reducing the antigenicity of milk protein. Enzymatic hydrolysis of casein yields a number of casein phosphopeptides that can bind calcium and promote its absorption and are potentially hypoallergenic.;Casein phosphopeptides derived from ;The relative allergenicity of ;Results presented here indicate that different enzymes that are used for casein hydrolysis may result in hydrolysates with different functionality. Tryptic...
