SummaryDifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study thermal transitions of the following whey proteins and enzymes in milk ultrafiltrate solution: β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, serum albumin, γ-globulin, apo- and Fe-lactoferrin, lysozyme, ribonuclease, α-chymotrypsin and xanthine oxidase. Denaturation enthalpies (ΔHD), denaturation temperatures (TD) and the half width of the denaturation peaks in DSC thermograms (ΔT½D) were determined and the degree of renaturation was estimated by rescanning previously denatured samples. A fair correlation between the results obtained by DSC and other more classical methods was found in general. However, for some proteins (α-lactalbumin, lysozyme, ribonuclease and xanthine oxidase), which have so far been considered relatively thermostable, calorimetry reveals conformational changes starting at temperatures as low as about 45 °C. In these cases thermostability observed after heat treatment of milk should be interpreted in terms of renaturation and not of high temperatures of denaturation.

SummaryThe thermal behaviour of β-lactoglobulin was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range 40–160 °C. The DSC curves revealed, in addition to the usually observed denaturation peak near 80 °C, a distinct endothermal peak between 130 and 150 °C. When the pH was increased from 6·5, the area under the peak near 80 °C (denaturation heat) decreased significantly, whereas the peak area near 140 °C increased. The temperature of maximum heat absorption in the peaks near both 80 and 140 °C gradually increased as the pH decreased. Addition of sugars and variation of the heating rate both caused a temperature shift of the endothermal heat effect at 140 °C, similar to that at 80 °C. No peak near 140 °C was observed when β-mercapto-ethanol was added to the β-lactoglobulin solution before scanning. The origin and nature of the high temperature denaturation peak is discussed in terms of conformational changes of the protein.
