Implication

Experimental study demonstrates capillary electrophoresis separation of casein breakdown products in milk and cheese, indicating a robust method to track enzymatic proteolysis.

Key Points

To evaluate capillary electrophoresis for tracking the proteolytic degradation of isolated casein fractions and milk samples by plasmin and chymosin.
Applied capillary electrophoresis utilizing a hydrophilically coated capillary with a low-pH, urea-containing running buffer.
Analyzed isolated casein fractions, whole casein, individual milk samples selected by genetic variants, proteolysed milk, and fresh cheese.
Resolved multiple plasmin-derived breakdown products from beta-casein variants, including gamma1-, gamma2-, and gamma3-casein fragments alongside proteose peptones.
Separated chymosin cleavage fragments, successfully identifying alpha_s1-I-casein, alpha_s1-casein f(1-23), para-kappa-casein, and caseinomacropeptide.
Established that specific peptide migration times reveal both the source and progression of casein degradation in milk and cheese matrices.
