Effect of Processing and Storage on Electrophoretic Patterns of Skimmilk Proteins

Abstract
Electrophoretic analyses re-vealed protein complexes in milk subjected to different processing. These complexes varied with the type of treatment. Interactions occurred between alpha- and beta-casein; in addition, there was com-plexing between beta-lactoglobulin and complexed alpha-casein. Milk stored at different temperatures revealed continuous changes. The alpha-casein complex was the most labile and dissociated into 2 major groups, which changed in concentration during storage. Electrophoretic analyses did not reveal the causes of gelation.
