    Abstract:
    Infant formula is used as a supplement for newborns. Although bovine milk-based infant formulas dominate the market, caprine milk-based infant formula has attracted increasing attention because of its lower allergenicity. This study compared the digestive peptidome of bovine and caprine milk serum proteins by using in vitro infant simulating conditions. The result showed that the degradation pattern of milk proteins was similar, whereas the digestive rates of milk proteins differed between bovine and caprine milks. Several proteins, such as α-lactalbumin (LALBA), β-lactoglobulin (LGB), serum amyloid A protein (SAA1), glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule 1 (GLYCAM1), and lactotransferrin (LTF), released more peptides during digestion of caprine milk serum than during digestion of bovine milk serum; however, more peptides derived from αS1-casein (CSN1S1) were found in bovine digesta. In addition, antimicrobial-related peptides were mostly only found in caprine intestinal digesta. The results of this study may be useful in understanding the digestion characteristics of milk serum proteins and providing guidance on the improvement of infant formula.
