Chelators are valuable ingredients used to improve the oxidative stability of food emulsions. Caseins and casein peptides have phosphoseryl residues capable of binding transition metals. Thus, the ability of enriched caseinophosphopeptides to inhibit lipid oxidation in corn oil-in-water emulsions was investigated. Enriched caseinophosphopeptides (25 microM) inhibited the formation of lipid oxidation at both pH 3.0 and 7.0 as determined by lipid hydroperoxides and hexanal. Calcium (0-100 mM) had no influence on the antioxidant activity of the enriched caseinophosphopeptides. Casein hydrolysates were more effective inhibitors of lipid oxidation than the enriched caseinophosphopeptides at equal phosphorus content. Thus, antioxidant properties might not be uniquely attributed to chelating metals by phosphoseryl residues but also by scavenging free radicals. Overall, the observed antioxidant activity of casein hydrolysates means they could be utilized to decrease oxidative rancidity in foods.

The influence of production technology, namely, temperature, pH and 2-step fermentation (back-slopping approach), on the microbiological characteristics and on the phosphopeptide profile of kefir obtained with kefir grains was investigated. The growth of yeasts, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and acetic acetic bacteria (AAB) in both grains and kefir was affected by the incubation temperature and by the use of back-slopping. In particular, at 25 °C the microbiota of kefir grains was mainly composed by LAB and yeasts, while at 18 °C yeasts represented the dominant group in kefir.

Dairy products contain large amount of calcium which is bound to caseins and different chelating agents like citrate and polyphosphates. The present study aimed to determine the calcium-binding capacities of phosphoserine (SerP), caseinophosphopeptide (CPP), β-casein, caseinate, citrate and pyrophosphate in the same conditions of temperature, pH and ionic strength. The free calcium (Ca(2+)) was measured using a calcium ion-selective electrode and plotted as a function of total calcium concentration.

Background: One of the suggested health benefits of caseinophosphopeptides (CPPs) is their ability to enhance calcium absorption. This possibility is based on the assumption that they resist proteolysis in the upper gastrointestinal tract and maintain calcium in a soluble form at alkaline pH in the distal ileum.
Objective: The effects of CPP-enriched preparations (containing candidate functional food ingredients) on calcium absorption from a calcium lactate drink were tested.

In the context of the EU research project FAIR-CT 98-3077, studies were carried out to investigate caseinophosphopeptides (CPP) as potential ingredients for functional food and pharmaceutical applications. CPP preparations were produced by enrichment of CPP from hydrolytic casein digests. Enzyme preparations used for hydrolysis were PTN 3.
