Every process for treating milk, manufacturing milk products and isolating
milk constituents can, although not intended, lead to a modification of the
milk proteins. Additionally, there exist Various possibilities for modifyi
ng milk protein. Regardless of the set goals of the protein modulation, tec
hnofunctional and trophofunctional -in summa technotrophic- properties are
influenced. The present study describes the effects of chemical, physical,
enzymatic or genetic modification of milk protein on their technotrophic pr
operties.
