Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how high-pressure processing (HPP) affects the composition and structure of micellar casein concentrates (MCC) derived from cow (BMCC) and goat (CMCC) milk under varying pressures of 100 to 500 MPa for 30 minutes.
  • It found significant increases in calcium and phosphorus solubility in BMCC, with solubility reaching over 90%, while CMCC showed lower increases; particle size also decreased more in BMCC than in CMCC.
  • Changes in protein structure were noted, with BMCC showing a decrease in fluorescence intensity (indicating higher surface hydrophobicity) and alterations in α-helix and β-sheet content, suggesting that HPP can effectively improve

Liver fibrosis is a condition characterized by the excessive buildup of scar tissue in the liver. This scarring occurs as a result of chronic liver damage, often caused by conditions such as hepatitis, alcohol abuse, certain metabolic disorders, genetic abnormalities, autoimmunity, and noninfectious diseases such as fatty liver which leads to liver fibrosis. Nanoparticles have gained attention in recent years as potential therapeutic agents for liver fibrosis.
