Summary

Treatment of unfractionated bovine casein with papain produced a digest which was bitter in taste. The bitterness was shown to be a property of a peptide originating only in β-casein and having an amino-acid composition consistent with its derivation from residues 53–79 inclusive of β-casein. The relationship existing between flavour and primary structure in this peptide is discussed briefly.
