Does Cheese Contain B-Lactoglobulin?

β-LG was also detected in cheeses, though the level was lower than that of milks. Though milk proteins were degraded most extensively in Roquefort cheese, its β-LG level was the highest. Among them, processed cheese had the lowest amount of β-LG, followed by Emmental cheese.

What is B lactoglobulin found in?

β-Lactoglobulin is a globular protein that is present in the milk of many mammalian species including ruminants, such as cows and sheep, and some non-ruminants, such as pigs and horses (Kontopidis et al., 2004; Sawyer and Kontopidis, 2000). β-Lactoglobulin is the major whey protein in milk.

Is B lactoglobulin in yoghurt?

Protein in Yogurt

Denatured beta-lactoglobulin from the whey protein fraction will react with alpha-casein from the casein micelle to form an insoluble complex. That complex contributes to yogurt texture (Yogurt, Science and Technology, 1st Edition, 1985).
