Abstract

  Milk is known as a nutritious food because it is considered as a good source of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and other various minerals, which are essential for sustaining and maintaining a healthy life. Milk protein has significant importance in human health and body functioning. They are also known as a good source of biologically active peptides. One part of milk protein is casein, which has different genetic variations out of which A1 and A2 are more common. The difference between A1 and A2 beta casein lies in the amino acid sequencing at 67th position. It has been claimed by researchers that milk containing A1 beta-casein protein consumption, may increase the chances of a number diseases, unlike consumption of A2 beta-casein containing milk. The paper aims to give a basic understanding about A1 and A2 beta-casein present in milk, their mechanism of action, effects on health and conclusions drawn by other researchers on this A1/A2 beta casein containing milk.
