Structure of casein micelles I. Small angle neutron scattering and light scattering fromβ- andχ-casein

Casein is the main protein component of milk and is of remarkable colloidal stability. Under the influence of milk clotting enzymes casein shows the striking behaviour of coagulation. This clotting process has already been studied by other groups, neglecting the fact that casein is not a homogeneous protein. The purpose of the present study is focused, in this first stage, on the determination of the structure of the various casein components. In cooperation with other laboratories we have been able to obtain the well separated individual proteins. Studies have been performed so far with- and-casein. For detailed structural information we carried out small angle neutron scattering and combined static and dynamic light scattering measurements and determined the molecular weight,M _w, the radius of gyration, S ² the hydrodynamic radius,R _H, the-value and the particle scattering factor, P_z(q). The two caseins show a strikingly different behaviour. For the-casein we found a star-like structure, i. e. an aggregation pattern that is expected for a common micelle. The micelle consists of about 38 monomer chains. The aggregates of-casein appear to be composed of star-like submicelles, where each submicelle contains nine-casein chains and the total degree of aggregation is about 140.     

Quantification of bovine casein fractions by direct chromatographic analysis of milk. Approaching the application to a real production context

The ability to quantify the casein content by an exact and cost-effective approach represents an issue of crucial importance in the dairy industry as the natural variations in milk protein concentration can markedly affect the yield of the cheesemaking processes, thus causing a direct and significant economic impact on the producers. In this work, the separation and quantification of α_s1-, α_s2-, κ- and β-casein was carried out by direct RP-HPLC analysis of milk. The identification of each casein was established by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The data show that this method is able to effectively separate the bovine casein fractions, it provides simplified analytical conditions (with special regard to mobile phase composition and gradient profile) and faster separation while ensuring adequate precision to achieve reliable quantifications in milk samples from dairy production.     

Formation and stability of poly-L-lysine/casein multilayers

The aim of our work was to investigate formation of multilayer films containing biocompatible polycation poly-L-lysine (PLL) and α- or β-casein. Since in the neutral pH casein is negatively charged, it has been used as a polyanionic layer for the film build-up. Casein containing films were formed at surface of Si/SiO₂ wafers and their thickness was measured by ellipsometry. The effect of ionic strength of PLL and casein solutions was investigated. After the multilayer films were formed, they were contacted with solutions having various pH and salts to determine film stability under these conditions. Additionally the response of the thickness of PLL/casein films to the temperature variation in the range of 5–45?°C was also analyzed. Formation and stability of casein containing films was also investigated on surfaces of titanium and stainless steel. We used fluorescently labeled protein to monitor the amount of casein in the film and its change after treatment with solutions containing calcium ions.     

Rapid analysis of bovine milk proteins by fast protein liquid chromatography

The separation of bovine milk proteins by fast protein liquid chromatography has been investigated by ion-exchange chromatography on Mono Q and Mono S columns and by gel filtration on a column of Superose 12. The four major casein components (alpha s1, alpha s2, beta and kappa) as well as the minor gamma-caseins were generally well separated on the Mono S column with urea-containing buffers at pH 3.8 in as short a time as 7 min, although there was considerable overlap between alpha s1- and alpha s2-casein peaks. Peak area measurements indicated that the four caseins alpha s1, alpha s2, beta and kappa were present in total casein in the approximate proportions of 3.0:0.5:3.4:0.9, in good agreement with other literature values. Whey proteins were not separated on the Mono S column, but were all well resolved by rapid analysis on the Mono Q column at pH values between 6 and 8 in buffers free of urea or 2-mercaptoethanol. Both urea and 2-mercaptoethanol were required for casein analyses on the Mono Q column, but all the casein components were then separable over a broad pH range (5.0-11.0). While urea levels of 4.5-8.0 M and pH values of 7.0 to 8.0 were most generally useful, the resolution of some components was affected by urea concentration or pH, so conditions may have to be modified for specific analysis problems. The caseins were too similar in size to be separated on the Superose 12 column but high-speed gel filtration in as little as 15 min separated all the whey proteins well, molecular weight values obtained being in good agreement with literature values.

Production of Milk-Clotting Protease from Bacillus subtilis

An indigenous Bacillus subtilis strain isolated from soil was found to be a potent milk-clotting protease (mcp) producer. Production optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) yielded 1,190 U/ml of enzyme in medium containing 6% fructose, 1% casein, 0.3% NH₄NO₃, 10 mM CaCl₂, pH 6.0 and inoculated with 3% inoculum and incubated at 250 rpm for 72 h. Solid-state fermentation resulted in 1,080 and 952.3 U/gds of milk-clotting protease using soybean meal and rice bran, respectively, with higher proteolytic values of 18.97 and 9.1 IU/gds. Production in a biphasic system using an overlay of RSM-optimized medium on solid layer of 6% fructose and 1% casein with 1.5% agar resulted in significant enzyme production. Maximum mcp was obtained using a biphasic system where solid: liquid ratio of 3.0 resulted in a final yield of 1,276.65 U/ml with a yield index of 1.80 as compared to static liquid culture. However, significant increase or difference was noted as compared to yield obtained after RSM. This is the first report on the use of RSM for production of mcp from a bacterial species.     

Effect of size, proteic composition, and heat treatment on the colloidal stability of proteolyzed bovine casein micelles

The casein micelles of reconstituted nonfat milk that have been fractionated by controlled pore glass chromatography showed a relationship between their size and their proteic composition: The fractions containing the smaller particles were richer in κ-casein than the fractions containing the bigger ones, in accordance with the casein micelle model of submicelles. The initial aggregation rate of micelles of different sizes, partially proteolyzed with chymosin (para-casein micelles), was measured in conditions of enzyme excess in which aggregation is the rate-limiting step of enzymatic coagulation, showing higher rates for the smaller micelles with the production of less compact para-casein micelle networks. This behavior could be explained in terms of electrostatic and steric colloidal stabilization due to their lower negative net charge and size and to a higher surface density of hydrophobic “patches” of proteolyzed κ-casein related to a higher probability of effective collisions between particles. Differences in the β-casein content did not seem to affect the initial aggregation rate of the micelles. On the contrary, the modifications of the micelle surface by heating affected the colloidal stability of the hydrolyzed micelles in different ways. The denaturation of the whey proteins and the formation of covalent complexes with κ-casein modify the micelle surface, increasing specially the steric stabilization, and produces a diminution in the number of hydrophobic sites that could be able to give interparticle hydrophobic interactions.     

Cs4P2Se10: A new compound discovered with the application of solid-state and high temperature NMR

The new compound Cs₄P₂Se₁₀ was serendipitously produced in high purity during a high-temperature synthesis done in a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. ³¹P magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR of the products of the synthesis revealed that the dominant phosphorus-containing product had a chemical shift of −52.8 ppm that could not be assigned to any known compound. Deep reddish brown well-formed plate-like crystals were isolated from the NMR reaction ampoule and the structure was solved with X-ray diffraction. Cs₄P₂Se₁₀ has the triclinic space group P-1 with a=7.3587(11) Å, b=7.4546(11) Å, c=10.1420(15) Å, α=85.938(2)°, β=88.055(2)°, and γ=85.609(2)° and contains the [P₂Se₁₀]⁴⁻ anion. To our knowledge, this is the first compound containing this anion that is composed of two tetrahedral (PSe₄) units connected by a diselenide linkage. It was also possible to form a glass by quenching the melt in ice water, and Cs₄P₂Se₁₀ was recovered upon annealing. The static ³¹P NMR spectrum at 350 °C contained a single peak with a −35 ppm chemical shift and a ∼7 ppm peak width. This study highlights the potential of solid-state and high-temperature NMR for aiding discovery of new compounds and for probing the species that exist at high temperature.     

Selection of possible marker peptides for the detection of major ruminant milk proteins in food by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

The aim of this work was the determination of peptides, which can function as markers for identification of milk allergens in food samples. Emphasis was placed on two casein proteins (α- and β-casein) and two whey proteins (α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin). In silico tryptic digestion provided preliminary information about the expected peptides. After tryptic digestion of four milk allergens, the analytical data obtained by combination of reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) led to the identification of 26 peptides. Seven of these peptides were synthesized and used for calibration of the LC-MS/MS system. Species specificity of the selected peptides was sought by BLAST search. Among the selected peptides, only LIVTQTMK from β-lactoglobulin (m/z 467.6, charge 2+) was found to be cow milk specific and could function as a marker. Two other peptides, FFVAPFPEVFGK from α-casein (m/z 693.3, charge 2+) and GPFPIIV from β-casein (m/z 742.5, charge 1+), occur in water buffalo milk too. The other four peptides appear in the milk of other species also and can be used as markers for ruminant species milk. Using these seven peptides, a multianalyte MS-based method was developed. For the establishment of the method, it was applied at first to different dairy samples, and then to chocolate and blank samples, and the peptides could be determined down to 1 ng/mL in food samples. At the end, spiked samples were measured, where the target peptides could be detected with a high recovery (over 50%).     

Development of a Microsphere-Based Immunoassay Authenticating A2 Milk and Species Purity in the Milk Production Chain

Processed milk and milk products produced from bovine milk, commonly contain β-casein A1 (βCA1) and β-casein A2 (βCA2). Since the presence of βCA1 is linked to milk intolerance and digestion problems, A2A2 milk, which only contains βCA2, is proposed as a healthier alternative. To support this health claim, the purity of A2A2-milk has to be guaranteed. In the presented study, a multiplex immunoassay, able to distinguish between βCA2 and βCA1, was developed and real-life applicability was shown on raw milk samples from genotyped A1A1, A1A2 and A2A2 cows. Because of its ability to discriminate between βCA2 and βCA1, this newly developed method was able to detect the addition of common bovine A1A2 milk to A2A2 milk, as low as 1%. Besides the detection of A2A2 milk purity, the developed assay can also be implemented as a rapid phenotyping method at dairy farms to replace the more invasive DNA-based screening. Additionally, the developed method was capable of detecting the addition of common bovine milk up to 1% in sheep, goat, buffalo, horse and donkey milk, which conforms to EU recommendations. In conclusion, a newly developed multiplex method capable of reliably detecting the dilution of A2A2 milk of multiple species, with common bovine milk up to 1%, is presented.
