Abstract:
Whey proteins are well structured proteins with secondary and tertiary stable structures. It is known that whey proteins make up about 20% of milk proteins. Four major whey protein components: βlactoglobulin (β-Lg), α-lactalbumin (α-La), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and immunoglobulin (Ig), make up 90% of the whey proteins: The remaining 10% are such proteins as lactoperoxidase, serum transferrin, lactoferrin, lactolin, and proteo-peptone fraction.
