Abstract Food administration is followed by the appearance of a small intestinal pattern of irregular contractions. Studies on the relationship between intestinal motor activity, transit and absorption have yielded ...

Casein-derived materials are highly attractive as a consequence of their environmental friendliness and excellent film-forming properties. Due to the casein hydrophilicity, films containing a large protein content are ...

Several aspects on the effect of nutrients on small intestinal motility are not completely understood. We have analyzed changes of motor activity of the canine small bowel following intragastric administration of casein ...

Several strategies to improve the interfacial properties and foaming properties of proteins may be developed; among them, the use of mixtures of biopolymers that exhibit synergistic interactions. The aim of the present ...

Films made from sodium caseinate and/or chitosan, using glycerol as plasticizer, were prepared by casting from aqueous solutions. Films cryo-fractured surfaces were examined by SEM. FTIR spectra of the chitosan/caseinate ...

The use of casein as renewable resource to produce eco-friendly hybrid latexes has an increasing importance in industrial applications especially for high performance waterborne coatings. This work describes the synthesis ...

Highly purified preparations of casein kinase-2 from the nuclei of Xenopus laevis oocytes and from calf thymus can phosphorylate in vitro purified nucleoplasmin from X. laevis oocytes and eggs. The phosphorylation of ...
