Recent advancements reveal the molecular structures of major milk proteins like caseins and lactoferrin. Understanding these protein structures explains their functional properties in food applications.

Area of Science:

  • Food Science
  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Significant progress in understanding milk protein structures over the past decade.
  • Milk proteins like caseins, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, and lactotransferrin have been studied in detail.
  • Functional properties of milk proteins can be explained at the molecular level.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the three-dimensional structures of major milk proteins.
  • To correlate these structures with their functional properties as food ingredients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on milk protein structures.
  • Analysis of existing data on protein crystallography and other structural biology techniques.
