A "sleep milk" including peptides having a soporific effect on humans or other mammals uses milk proteins from cows homozygous for the A1 allele for beta-casein. Exposing the milk or the proteins to a glycation-enhancing process substantially increases the half-life of the resulting peptides like beta-casomorphin-7 after ingestion, hydrolysis in the gut and absorbtion- through the gut wall. The sleep milk is made by glycating A1 milk within a modified UHT process in the presence of carbohydrates like ascorbic acid. The soporific effect of the resulting product is estimated by measurement of the glycation products. |
