Researchers use pulsed light to modify lactose protein that causes 10% of milk-related allergies

74555 The researchers have managed to modify a type of lactose protein called β-lactoglobulin artificially by means of a treatment with pulsed light. This protein, which is present in lactose serum, is responsible for approximately 10% of milk-related allergies. As a result of this treatment, milk becomes much more digestible.   Julia Maldonado-Valderrama, a researcher… Seguir Leyendo Researchers use pulsed light to modify lactose protein that causes 10% of milk-related allergies
