ABSTRACT
Milk is common and inexpensive source of proteins which are the basis of the production of modified formulas for human nutrition patients suffering from allergies, phenylketonuria, liver diseases and as a protein supplement in energetic drinks, geriatrics products, sport nutrition and weight-control diets. The paradox is that almost all milk proteins are allergenic, so their structure should be modified by technological treatment. The degree of modification is usually determined by immunometric methods. In this paper, three of these methods: dot-immunobinding, immunoblotting, ELISA are described.
