Proteins of the same kind in human milk and cow's milk have different properties. Mellander (1947) reports differences in phosphorus content and the amount of carbohydrates of casein and that the casein of cow's milk is more easily digested by proteolytic enzymes in vitro than that of human milk. Kiyosawa, Ryoki & Maeno (1961) observed a marked difference in the solubility of casein and the tur...

Aqueous micelles of the multi-protein calcium phosphate complex, casein, were treated at 60°C and pH 7 over several months. Although partial dissociation of the micelles into 12 nm sized amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)/protein nanoparticles occurred within a period of 14 days, crystallization of the ACP nanoclusters into bundles of hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanofilaments was not observed until aft...

AIM This study aims to investigate the effect of casein phos-phopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and three calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP and TCP) on increasing the microhardness of human enamel after induction of erosion. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 healthy human-impacted third molar teeth were chosen, and their hardness measured using a microhardness testing machine. The samples were...

The study is about evaluating the effects of three remineralising agents i.e. Casein Phosphopeptide - Amorphous Calcium Phosphate [CPP-ACP], Sodium fluoride varnish and Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on dentin. objective this to see which have a better effect In study, thirty freshly extracted human central incisors are selected with exposed labial surfaces each tooth divided into four quadrants tr...

casein possesses important physiological and biological properties with regard to promotion of health, as well as prevention of diseases. anticarcinogenic activities, reduction in the risk factors of cardiovascular disease and anticariogenic features have been associated with casein. in addition, casein is known as a source of bioactive peptides. casein-derived peptides have been found to have ...

The major physiological function of milk is the transport of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids and minerals to mammalian offspring. Caseins, the major milk proteins, are secreted in the form of a micelle consisting of protein and calcium-phosphate.We have analysed the role of the milk protein α-casein by inactivating the corresponding gene in mice. Absence of α-casein protein significantly cur...
