ABSTRACT
This booklet summarizes the results of milk protein research carried out by the members of the above-mentioned institute, together with a review of non-Russian literature on the subject.
The book's title, however, suggests a broader scope than is given by its real content, for 79 pages of the book are devoted to the chemistry of casein; whereas, the remaining six must complete the picture of the whey proteins, of enzymes and low-molecular protein material in milk, and of the protein composition of the fat globule membrane. It is clear that this is by no means a simple task, and that the author failed to accomplish it. As a general survey of our knowledge of the milk proteins, the present review can not sustain a comparison with other treatments of the same subject; for instance, with McMeekin's recent review (Neurath-Bailey, The Proteins, Vol. IIA). Rather, it should be considered as a report of the author's own contributions to the chemistry of casein, completed with some results from literature.
