Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Good to know casein proteins can be denatured! I'm wondering about cultured butter - does anyone know if the " cultures " will denature the casein in butter? Thanks, Kim Day 14 SCD dairy free whole family (except addition of cultured butter for 2 yo) 3 yo ASD, 2 yo NT Casein and Yogurt The Process of Making Yogurt Changes the Casein From Elaine Gottschall: When we make yogurt and the pH falls to about 4.5 rather than 7.1-2 (as in fluid milk), the proteins are denatured which means that because of the acidity, the proteins lose their 3 dimensional structure (sterochemistry) which would be the reason allergists worry about casein. In yogurt and in the natural cheeses, the casein is denatured into a two-dimensional structure which would be less likely to cause allergic reactions. ********************************************************************************\ *********************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
