In addition to providing nutrition, dairy foods also have a role to play in promoting health.  Proteins, peptides, lipids and many minor constituents are being recognized as having potential health benefits and are a part of the total functional food picture.

This Web Page will provide background and new information, as it becomes available, in respect to factual information about functional dairy foods and functional components. This page is updated every six months.

Abstract:  Interest in the development of dairy products naturally enriched in CLA exists. However, feeding regimens that enhance the CLA content of milk also increase concn. of trans-18:1 fatty acids, the human health implications of which are not yet known. This study investigated the effects of consuming dairy products naturally enriched in cis-9,trans-11 CLA (and trans-11 18:1) on blood lipid profiles, atherogenicity of low density lipoproteins (LDL) and markers of inflammation and insulin resistance in healthy middle-aged men. Healthy middle-aged men (n = 32) consumed ultra-heat-treated milk, butter and cheese that provided 0.151 g/day (control) or 1.421 g/day (modified) cis-9,trans-11 CLA for 6 wk. This was followed by a 7-wk washout and a crossover to the other treatment. Consumption of dairy products enriched with cis-9,trans-11 CLA and trans-11 18:1 did not significantly affect body wt., inflammatory markers, insulin, glucose, triacylglycerols or total, LDL and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, but resulted in a small increase in the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol. The modified dairy products changed LDL fatty acid composition but had no significant effect on LDL particle size or susceptibility of LDL to oxidation. Overall, increased consumption of full-fat dairy products and naturally derived trans fatty acids did not cause significant changes in cardiovascular disease risk variables, as may be expected on the basis of current health recommendations. It is concluded that dairy products naturally enriched with cis-9,trans-11 CLA and trans-11 18:1 do not appear to have a significant effect on the blood lipid profile.

Suha.    Department of Biochemistry, School of Medicine,  Marmara University,  Istanbul,  Turk.    Current Pharmaceutical Design  (2006),  12(13),  1637-1643.  Abstract:A review.  Whey is a natural byproduct of cheese making process.  Bovine milk has about 3.5 % protein, 80 % of which are caseins and the remaining 20 % are whey proteins.  Whey proteins contain all the essential amino acids and have the highest protein quality rating among other proteins.  Advances in processing technologies have led to the industrial prodn. of different products with varying protein contents from liq. whey.  These products have different biol. activities and functional properties.  Also recent advances in processing technologies have expanded the com. use of whey proteins and their products.  As a result, whey proteins are used as common ingredients in various products including infant formulas, specialized enteral and clin. protein supplements, sports nutrition products, products specific to wt. management and mood control.  This brief review intends to focus on scientific evidence and recent findings related to the therapeutic potential of whey proteins and peptides.
