Summary

Casein, whole αs-casein and β-casein were incubated for 3 and 14 h with crystalline rennin, at pH 6·60 and 36 °C, both in phosphate buffer and in milk dialysate. Products obtained from both systems, comprising 30–83% calciumsensitive (Cas) components, gave similar patterns on starch gel electrophoresis. Whole casein and whole αs-casein were not so soluble in milk dialysate as in phosphate buffer. No significant differences in composition were observed between the Cas and the calcium-insensitive (Ca1) products from the same source.

The αs1-component of the Cas product from rennin-treated whole αs-casein had faster gel mobility in comparison to the αs1-component in the Cas product from untreated whole αs-casein. Also, αs1-casein yielded one faster-moving degradation product, while αs2,3,4 appeared unaltered after 14h. The Cas product of rennintreated β-casein also had faster mobility than untreated β-casein and yielded one faster degradation product and several minor ones of slower mobility. Arginine was the only N-terminal amino acid found in the Cas product of both rennin-treated and untreated αs - and β-caseins. The arginine content increased from 3·48 and 4·98 moles/105g to 5·12 and 6·38 moles/105g in the Cas products from rennin-treated β-and αs-caseins, respectively.
