Changes in the Protein Composition and Size Distribution of Bovine Casein Micelles Induced by Cooling

Native casein micelles as nanocarriers for β‐carotene: pH‐and temperature‐induced opening of the micellar structure

“…However, Ono et al . () reported that the average CM size was constant within 4–50 °C (Ono et al ., ). Our studies revealed also no significant differences in the protein, calcium and phosphate levels in the supernatant prepared at 2, 20 and 40 °C, indicating that temperature had little to no effect of the structure of the CM.…”

Changes in the Composition and Size Distribution of Soymilk Protein Particles by Heating

“…Protein particles of a definite size were prepared from the soymilks by the method of differential centrifugation. 6) The average size of the fractionated particles was calculated by using 1. and 1.0 g/cm 3 as the respective density of the particles and solvent (water), and 0.3 <p < 3 as the axial ratio (p). In analyzing the size distribution, the protein particles were obtained as five pelleted and one supernatant fractions.…”

Structure of biomimetic casein micelles: Critical tests of the hydrophobic colloid and multivalent-binding models using recombinant deuterated and phosphorylated β-casein

“…CaP nanoclusters do not exist in the micelle as independent entities but are sequestered by a shell of bound caseins to form CaP nanocluster complexes ( Lenton et al, 2020 ). The binding is predominantly through short,highly phosphorylated, serine-rich sequences denoted CaP-SLiMs ( De Sa Peixoto et al, 2017 , Holt, 2021 , Holt and Carver, 2022 , Ono et al, 1990 ). For example, the sequence 14-E-pS-L-pS-pS-pS-E-E-21, where pS is phosphoserine, is the CaP-SLiM in cow β-casein (numbering is after removal of the N-terminal signal sequence of 15 amino acids).…”
