The effect of heat, transglutaminase and combination of heat and transglutaminase treatments on the solubility of films prepared from goat milk casein, goat milk whey proteins and whole goat milk proteins was investigated. Goat milk casein films were less soluble when treated with transglutaminase and combination of heat with transglutaminase compare with heat-treated caseins alone. Heat treatment was more effective at decreasing the solubility of whey protein films. SDS-PAGE patterns demonstrated that goat milk caseins were better cross-linked by transglutaminase, whereas whey proteins were better cross-linked by heat. The extent of cross-linking was further enhanced when a combination of heat and transglutaminase was used.
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.
