In addition to providing nutrition, dairy
foods also have a role to play in promoting health.
Proteins, peptides, lipids and many minor consituents are being
recognized as having potential health benefits and are a part of
the total functional food picture. Biological
activities related to dairy foods and their components are
indicated below:
ANTI MICROBIAL
ACTIVITY
ANTIVIRAL
ACTIVITY
ANTI-TOXIN
ACTIVITY
APPETITE
CONTROL
BIFIDOBACTER
GROWTH FACTOR
CELL
GROWTH FACTORS
HYPERTENSION
SUPPRESSION
IMMUNO-MODULATING
ACTIVITY
PASSIVE
IMMUNITY
OSTEOPOROSIS
HIV/AIDS
One or more biological functions have been attributed
to the following components of whey:
Proteins:
Peptides:
Lipids
A review was prepared on biological function of
whey proteins for the American Dairy Products
Association in 1997, which is currently being reviewed for the
preparation of a Mondograph. Click
here to see the Exectuvive Summarry of that report. [It
must be noted the field of functional dairy foods is moving very
rapidly, and that much of the increasing evidence of the
possibilities of acti-cancer activty of whey proteins was not
available at that time.]
An
update on the literature the biological properties of whey
components through 2001 is available from the American Dairy
{Products Institute, 300 W Washington Street, Suite 400, Chicago,
IL 60606.

associated with the functions.
