Gastric digestion and amino acid concentrations of casein from cow and goat milk: a randomized crossover trial in healthy men

Abstract

Background In vitro studies show that goat milk proteins form less compact coagulates in the stomach compared to cow milk proteins. This may increase the accessibility of the proteins to digestive enzymes, thereby resulting in enhanced gastric digestion and amino acid (AA) absorption. However, this needs to be confirmed in vivo in humans.
