Abstract:
Heat-induced structural changes of β-lactoglobulin were studied at temperatures ranging from 67.5 to 82.5°C and at pH 7.5. These changes were followed by measurement of surface hydrophobicity and protein solubility. Results indicate that β-lactoglobulin is sensitive to heat-induced interchange reactions with consequences for the protein solubility.
