CHITIN NANOCRYSTAL STABILIZED EMULSIONS: STABILITY, INTERACTIONS WITH BETA-LACTOGLOBULIN, DIGESTION BEHAVIOR AND CYTOTOXICITY Chandni Chandran Advisor University of Guelph,2015 Dr Loong Tak Lim Solid particle stabilized emulsions have gained attention due to their surfactant free nature and high stability. However, insights on the interactions between solid particles stabilizing emulsions and s...

To clarify the pH-dependent conformational transitions of proteins, we propose an approach in which structural changes monitored by heteronuclear sequential quantum correlation (HSQC) spectroscopy were analyzed by using a principal component analysis (PCA). We use bovine beta-lactoglobulin, a protein widely used in protein folding studies, as a target. First, we measured HSQC spectra at various...

OBJECTIVE To compare serum concentrations of specific IgE and mean papule diameters induced in the immediate skin reactivity test with cow's milk (CM) and its fractions with results of the oral challenge test (OCT), and to establish cutoff points capable of predicting clinical reactivity to CM in patients treated at a referral service. METHODS One hundred and twenty-two children (median of 17...

ZAGORCHEV, L., M. DIMITROVA, M. ODJAKOVA, D. TEOFANOVA and P. HRISTOV, 2013. Electrophoretic characterization of milk proteins from Bulgarian Rhodopean cattle. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., Supplement 2, 19: 197–200 αs1-casein, κ-casein and β-lactoglobulin show comparatively the highest polymorphism among the bovine milk proteins. Therefore, they have been extensively investigated in respect to identif...

The goal of the paper was to identify  lactoglobulin gene polymorphism and analyse of genotype structure in population Slovak spotted breed. The  lactoglobulin (LGB) expressed in milk and is important in the evaluation of milk production potential and butterfat and protein content. LGB is localized on bovine chromosome 11. The AA genotype of LGB is associated with higher milk yield, the BB ge...

The reaction of glyoxal with nucleophilic amino acids was monitored for β-casein as well as β-lactoglobulin. As predicted from previous experiments with hippuryl amino acids, a measurable decrease of arginine can be found in the thiol-free β-casein, while the lysine content remained almost unchanged. For β-lactoglobulin, the incubation with glyoxal led to a slight decrease in the lysine content...

The effect of univalent electrolyte concentration on protein-polyelectrolyte complex formation has been measured by frontal analysis continuous capillary electrophoresis (FACCE) and turbidimetry for the interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a synthetic hydrophobically modified polyacid, for BSA with (porcine mucosal) heparin (Hp), a highly charged polyanion, and for Hp and insulin. All...

The study was carried out on eight Bos indicus cattle breeds namely, Sahiwal, Tharparkar, Nimari, Khilari, Deoni, Amritmahal, Hariana and Hilly cattle; two Bos taurus cattle breeds namely, Jersey and Holstein Friesian and Indicine×Taurine crossbred cattle to find out the polymorphic pattern of beta-lactoglobulin gene. The polymorphism at beta-lactoglobulin gene was detected by conducting PCR-RF...
