Summary

It has been shown that the inhibition caused by heat treatment, of the primary phase of rennin action on casein micelles, is dependent on the presence of β-lactoglobulin. The degree of inhibition increased with increasing amounts of added β-lactoglobulin for both heated casein micelles and heated skim-milk to a constant value. The results are fully consistent with the hypothesis that the inhibition is caused by complex formation between β-lactoglobulin and κ-casein when milk is heated.
