===Antioxidant Nature===


In the dairy industry, bovine milk is frequently heated for pasteurization (62.5°C for 30 min) and sterilization. This heating process may induce oxidative losses of proteins, unsaturated lipids, vitamins, active enzymes, and immunological factors. Cross-linking the free thiol groups of β-LG by heating (100 °C for 2 min), or chemically modifying the β-LG by carboxymethylation to block the thiol groups resulted in a substantial loss of antioxidant activity. The data suggest that Cys-121 plays an essential role in the antioxidant nature of β-LG. Because β-LG is extremely sensitive to thermal denaturation, to maintain its antioxidant nature, dairy products consumed daily should not be overheated in order to maintain its antioxidant nature.<ref>PMID:17235131</ref> Whey Protein whose majority constituent is β-Lactoglobulin, gives abundant source of branched chain amino acids especially Leucine which plays a key role in initiating transcription of protein synthesis that speed recovery and adaptation to stress (exercise) and also a free thiol Cys which is (postulated) utilized in the body to generate antioxidant glutathione.
