Composition of the Caseins of Buffalo and Cow Milk

Abstract
The amino-acid composition and rates of proteolysis by pro-teolytic enzymes of caseins from buffalo and cow milk were studied. Both caseins were indentical in amino-acid composition (qualitatively and quantitatively) as analyzed by paper chromatography. The rates of proteolysis with either pepsin, trypsin, papain or pancreatic homogenate of buffalo casein were slower than cow casein. A peptide from peptic digestion of both caseins has a similar composition.
