The requested equipment - microplate reader - will be used for protein analysis, enzymatic activity (for the in vitro digestion protocol), in addition to other spectrophotometric and fluorimetric analyses (ORAC, Maillard reaction products). It is a piece of equipment routinely used in analytical laboratories. (AU)
Milk is recognized for its nutritional quality and content of proteins of high biological value, which are source of bioactive peptides resulting from enzymatic hydrolysis that occurs during the processing or digestion of milk and dairy products. However, studies suggest that a specific peptide released from enzymatic hydrolysis of ²-casein, ²-casomorphine-7, may have adverse effects on t…
Cow's milk is one of the most allergenic foods in early childhood, being caseins and the two main whey proteins - ±-lactalbumin (±-La) and ²-lactoglobulin (²-Lg) - the major allergens. Enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins is generally used to produce hypoallergenic formulas, which are an alternative for infants with high risk or infants diagnosed with cow's milk allergy. However, in some case…
Food allergy affects children and adults, but is more common among the first ones. Bovine milk whey contains proteins that are considered antigenic, among them ²-lactoglobulin (²-Lg) and ±-lactoalbumin (±-La) are the most antigenic. Hydrolysis can decrease the antigenicity of those proteins, because it changes structure of antigenic determinants. In previous studies of our laboratory, it …

Food supplementation with iron salts to combat iron deficiency has been a challenge, because, in salt form, the mineral shows low bioavailability, besides undesirable changes in flavor and appearance in food products and catalyzing lipid oxidation. In a previous study, we found that peptides from whey protein hydrolysates have iron-binding affinity. The iron-peptide chelate formed showed …
The bioactive potential of proteins is due to certain amino acid sequences which are inactive in the precursor protein but once released by enzymatic hydrolysis, may have different biological activities. In vitro studies showed that flaxseed protein hydrolysates have different biological activities such as antioxidant, anticolesterolemic and antihypertensive. As antioxidants, amino acids,…
The anemia for iron-deficiency is a major public health problem that affects all age groups, mainly children and pregnant women. The demand for high iron absorption products without side effects and low cost has been a continuing action. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the whey peptides iron-chelation potential, obtained from enzymatic hydrolysis with different enzymes. To this end, pro…
Food supplementation with iron has been a challenge, once in salt form, as it is generally applied, besides the low bioavailability, the mineral may lead to digestive problems, such as stomachache or diarrhea and even cause changes in flavor and appearance of food products. In a previous work, we verified that whey peptides show great iron-binding capacity. The Fe-peptides complexes showe…
