Nutritional and chemical changes in heated casein

Abstract
Summary: Samples of commercial casein were processed either in solution or dry at temperatures between 100° and 130° for up to 8 hr. Denaturation (loss of solubility) occurred mainly at 120° and 130° and was preceded by darkening and by changes in gel filtration pattern, which indicated that molecular association had taken place. In samples subjected to severe heat treatment there were significant losses of aspartic acid, threonine, serine, cystine, histidine and lysine but apparent increases in glycine and alanine. The relationships between the various changes are discussed.
