摘要
When whole or skim milk was incubated with the cationic acrylate polymer Eudragit E100, a biphasic effect on the stability of casein micelles was observed. A precipitation phase was observed at low polymer/casein ratios. Strikingly, a solubilization phase of the aggregates was observed when the ratios of polymer/casein were increased. Purified alpha(s)-, beta-, and kappa-caseins or dephosphorylated caseins were equally precipitated and resolubilized by the cationic polymer, indicating no special selectivity for a particular protein or phosphate residue for these events. An increase in the size of the aggregates as the optimum precipitating amount of Eudragit E100 was reached suggests a crossbridging of the micelles by the polymer. The inhibition of the precipitation phase by high ionic strength indicates that electrostatic interactions play a critical role in complex formation. Furthermore, a dramatic reduction in size of the protein colloidal particles upon solubilization of the aggregates was observed by dynamic light scattering, indicating a dissociation of the micellar structure. Taken together, the results indicate that at low concentration Eudragit E100 may act as a precipitant of casein micelles, mainly by ionic interaction and at high concentration as an amphipathic agent, solubilizing casein micelles with a disruption of their internal structure.
