Effect of heat denaturation of bovine milk beta-lactoglobulin on its epithelial transport and allergenicity
Abstract Beta-lactoglobulin (β-lg) is the main whey protein in bovine milk. It belongs to the lipocalin protein family, and it is one of the main milk allergens. Resistance to hydrolysis is a particular feature of β-lg making it possible that β-lg reaches the small intestine in its native form. Hea...
