Popis: Nonenzymatic attachment of lactose to β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) was investigated under different conditions. Solubilized conditions, dry environment, and a combination of dry and solubilized environments, were examined for their effects on lactosylation. Temperatures ranging from 50 to 65 °C and time intervals between 1 h and 4 days were used. Electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry were implemented to examine the reaction products. Maximum attachment efficiency occurred at 65 °C held for 3 h in dry-way conditions. Incubations held for long periods of time under dry-way conditions suggest possible denaturation. Both ESI and MALDI data suggest β-Lg removal in the solubilized samples held for long periods of time. A combination of solubilized and dry environments led to very similar mass spectrogram results over time. Keywords: β-Lactoglobulin; nonenzymatic; solubilized; dry-way; combination
