The powerful of neutron scattering techniques to characterize structure and dynamics of milk proteins is illustrated. Small angle neutron scattering and reflectivity are used to determine the structure and the interactions between milk proteins in solution, during gelation processes, or the protein structure at different interfaces. Experiments performed by inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering allow one to observe the dynamics of water and proteins showing the major role of hydration on the dynamics of milk proteins.
