Different kinds of yogurt contain different percentages of proteins. However, do they also contain different types of proteins? To answer to this question, we investigated the protein pattern in the soluble fraction of various yogurts. We found that many yogurts contain mostly two main bands: a ~20 kDa band and a ~15 kDa band. Proteomics analysis of these two bands led us to conclude that the 20 kDa band corresponds to lactoglobulin isoforms and the 15 kDa band corresponds to casein isoforms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
