Estimating Solids-not-fat Content of Herd Milk Samples

Milk Fat Content and DGAT1 Genotype Determine Lipid Composition of the Milk Fat Globule Membrane

During secretion of milk fat globules, triacylglycerol (TAG) droplets are enveloped by a phospholipid (PL) trilayer. Globule size has been found to be related to polar lipid composition and fat content, and milk fat content and fatty acid composition have been associated with the diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) K232A polymorphism; however, the association between the DGAT1 polymorphism...

Automated Determination of Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Monounsaturated Fat and Trans Fat Content in Food Samples

Determination of total fat, saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and trans fat content in food samples is necessary for complying with applicable food labeling requirements. A typical procedure for saponifi cation of the sample involves refl uxing with sodium methoxide in methanol, followed by a second refl ux with boron trifl uoride in order to esterify the free fatty acids. Prior to injection i...

Investigation of Non-Genetics Factors Affecting Milk-Fat Content and Milk-Fat Percentage Curves' Parameters In Azeri and Khuzestani Buffalo Breeds

     The study of milk production and composition curves in buffalo provides key information about genetic potentials and management related strategy to both breeders and farmers. The objective of this study was to identify of the non-genetic factors of parameters for fitted Wood function on milk fat content (MFC) and milk fat percentage (MFP) curve of Azari and Khuzestan buffalo. The data were...

An Easy Method for Estimating the Protein Content of Milk

In the routine analyses of milk under the Food Adulteration Act, we find the specific gravity, fat and total solids, and our work is done. But the profession as well as the public may like to know the quantities of the other nutrients in the milk. Milk proteins are of as much importance from the biological point of view as the milk fat; if the latter contains the vitamines, the former contains ...
