Summary

Buffalo αs-casein (α-sb) was found to be heterogeneous; on starch gelurea electrophoresis 4 electrophoretic components were detected.

The αsb-fraction was isolated by urea and alcohol fractionation. A preparation containing only the 2 main components was obtained by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Its amino acid pattern was different from that of cow αs1-casein. The fraction was also free of carbohydrate, cystine and cysteine.

Buffalo αsb-casein was less stable than cow αs-casein in solutions containing Ca, and the maximum stability of the αs-/κ-casein complex occurred at a lower Ca concentration.
