A Review of the Nutritional Advantages and Biological Activity of Type A2 β-Casein
β-casein genotypes can be divided into two main types:A1 type and A2 type.Compared to A1 type,A2 type β-casein does not produce biologically active peptides that have a stimulating effect on the intestine during absorption and digestion,and has better digestive and absorption properties,which means certain nutritional advantages.This also enables A2 type β-casein milk to show relatively better antioxidant stability,reduce the risk of type I diabetes and improve inflammatory response.With its nutritional advantages and unique quality characteristics,A2 type β-casein helps to drive the dairy industry towards high-quality,diversified,and functional development,meeting the growing demand for high-quality dairy products from consumers.
