Protein structure modification and allergenic properties of whey proteins upon interaction with tea and coffee phenolic compounds

Structural changes and allergenicity of whey proteins (WPI) upon complexation with caffeic acid (CA) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) at acidic and neutral pH conditions were investigated. WPI-phenolic compounds interactions were evidenced by fluorescence quenching, accompanied by red-shift (...
