Book excerpt: "Several studies have demonstrated that certain genetic variants of beta-casein are closely related to milk production, milk composition and technological properties of milk such as coagulation properties during cheese making, calcium precipitation and water binding properties. The objective of current study is to investigate the effect of the genetic variants on hydrolysis of beta-casein by chymosin and pepsin. On the basis of a preliminary analysis, a total of 50 milk samples which provided representatives of different available genetic variants of beta-casein were collected from different herds in Quebec. Casein was prepared from milk samples by the acid precipitation and the genetic variants of beta-casein were identified by both alkaline and acid urea-PAGE. An anion exchange chromatography was employed for the separation of beta-casein from whole casein. An initial hydrolysis of beta-casein of different phenotypes by chymosin and pepsin were achieved under the optimized hydrolytic conditions. Hydrolysates were periodically removed from the reaction mixture and they were analyzed by both RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE in order to study the hydrolytic pattern of each beta-casein variant with the increasing hydrolytic time.
