This study focused on the effect of binding of capsaicin by milk proteins on oral burn. The concentration of free, unbound capsaicin in 5 ppm capsaicin solution containing 0-5% (w/w) micellar casein or whey protein isolate was measured by extraction into hexadecane. The concentration of free capsaicin decreased linearly with protein concentration and the decrease was greater for casein than for whey protein.

High-pressure-jet (HPJ) processing of various dairy systems has been shown to disrupt fat droplets and casein micelles and cause a strong association between fat and casein proteins. The present work seeks to better describe this association between fat and casein using a model milk formulated from confectionary coating fat (3.6% wt/wt), micellar casein (3.
