Abstract

The electrophoretic pattern of casein complex of milk from Egyptian buffaloe's and Friesian cow's were determined in 36 individual and composite samples using paper ele ctrophoretic technique. Three distinct fractions were obtained named as alpha, beta-, and gamma fractions. Variations in the concentration of casein fractions is distinctly present in both cow's and buffaloe's milk. Insignificant differences could be detected between the concentration of the different fractions in the individual and composite milk samples, while significant differences detected between cow's and buffaloe's milk in the concentration of alpha and beta casein fractions only. The obtained results add nen informations about milk proteins from Egyptian buffaloe's and Friesian cow's which has a great significance from the nutritonal and technological point of view.
