A model for the denaturation and aggregation of beta-lactoglobulin.
TL;DR: A quantitatively correct kinetic model for the temperature-induced denaturation and aggregation of beta-lactoglobulin is presented and recognizes an initiation, a propagation and a termination step by analogy with polymer radical chemistry.

Abstract: A quantitatively correct kinetic model for the temperature-induced denaturation and aggregation of beta-lactoglobulin is presented. The model recognizes an initiation, a propagation and a termination step by analogy with polymer radical chemistry. The decrease in native beta-lactoglobulin is predicted to follow order 3/2, in agreement with experimental results. The size of the protein polymer particles is predicted to be proportional to the square root of the initial beta-lactoglobulin concentration. The scattered light intensity is proportional to the product of concentration and size of the protein polymer particles. The initial increase in scattering intensity of the particles therefore scales with the initial squared beta-lactoglobulin concentration. The influence of other reaction conditions, e.g. ionic strength and pH, can be incorporated via the reaction constants of the reaction kinetic pathway.

Heat-Induced Whey Protein Gels: Effects of pH and the Addition of Sodium Caseinate
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pH (6.7 or 5.8), protein concentration and the heat treatment conditions (70 or 90 °C) on the physical properties of heat-induced milk protein gels were studied using uniaxial compression, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and water-holding capacity measurements.
Fabrication and delivery properties of soy Kunitz trypsin inhibitor nanoparticles
TL;DR: In vitro anti-proliferative activity on tumor cells assay showed that nanoparticulateCurcumin was more effective than free curcumin in solution by controlling the tumor cell growth with time, suggesting that KTIP could be developed as a novel nano-delivery vehicle for hydrophobic bioactives and for use in functional foods and pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the properties of heat-induced WPI gels and found that the gel structure did not change much after gel formation, while gel rigidity continued to increase, and that only part of the protein in the dispersion contributes to the gel network.

TL;DR: A possible binding site for retinol in BLG has been identified by model-building and a role for BLG in vitamin A transport is suggested and specific receptors for the BLG–retinol complex in the intestine of neonate calves are discovered.
