Abstract:
This study applied high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment to buffalo milk casein to assess the influence of different pressure levels on its structural characteristics, physicochemical properties, and functional properties. The results showed that although HHP had no marked impact on the zeta potential and secondary structure, it altered the protein's spatial structure (primarily its tertiary structure), and improved dispersion properties (such as particle size, solubility, and turbidity), as well as foaming properties. Additionally, HHP improved the antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. However, HHP treatment negatively affected the water-holding capacity, emulsion stability, and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. These findings suggest that HHP treatment is a potential method for modifying buffalo milk casein and provides a theoretical basis for its comprehensive utilization.

Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the addition of water breaks down a polymer into its simpler monomer units. For example, peptides break into amino acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars, and DNA into nucleotides. Enzymes often facilitate these processes.
Hydrolysis Reverses Dehydration Synthesis
Complex carbohydrates can be broken down by breaking the bonds between individual sugar units. The reaction breaks a glycosidic bond as water is added to the compound. The...
