Abstract
Application of the technic of light scattering to the study of heat induced bovine milk casein interactions with [beta]-lactoglobulin was made. Marked aggregation of [beta] -lactoglobulin was observed at 70 and 90 C. Interaction of both [alpha]-casein and K-casein with [beta]-lactoglobulin was observed at 90 C, but not with [alpha]-casein at 30 C. The addition of para-hydroxymer-curibenzoate inhibited the stabilizing interaction at elevated temperatures. Covering the air surface of [beta]-lactoglobulin solutions and [beta]-lactoglobulin-casein mixtures with mineral oil prevented the appearance of a precipitate at the surface.
