The Chemical Composition and Nitrogen Distribution of Chinese Yak (Maiwa) Milk
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper surveyed the chemical composition and nitrogen distribution of Maiwa yak milk, and compared the results with reference composition of cow milk. Compared to cow milk, yak milk was richer in protein (especially whey protein), essential amino acids, fat, lactose and minerals (except phosphorus). The contents of some nutrients (total protein, lactose, essential amino acids and casein) were higher in the warm season than in the cold season. Higher ratios of total essential amino acids/total amino acids (TEAA/TAA) and total essential amino acids/total non essential amino acids (TEAA/TNEAA) were found in the yak milk from the warm season. However its annual average ratio of EAA/TAA and that of EAA/NEAA were similar to those of cow milk. Yak milk was rich in calcium and iron (p < 0.05), and thus may serve as a nutritional ingredient with a potential application in industrial processing.

Characterization of fat globules and milk fat globule membrane proteins in milk of different yak breeds
The objective of this work was to characterize the fat globule and milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) proteins in Maiwa (n = 6), Gannan (n = 4) and Zhongdian yak whole milks (n = 4). Fat globule size distribution and specific fat surface area of whole yak milk were determined using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer. The average specific fat surface area of Gannan yak milk (2.05 m·mg) and...

The protein composition of 24 individual Maiwa yak milk samples that were collected in the Sichuan province of China was determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Yak milk differed from cow milk by its high concentration of total proteins (46.2– 58.4 g·L), total casein (40.2 g·L on average) and the proportion of individual caseins. The high content of β-casein (more t...

This study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (TS), fat (F), solids-non-fat (SNF), ash, crude protein (CP), nitrogen soluble at pH 4.6 (SN), mineral content (MC) and casein fraction (CnF). Camel milk had higher (P

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) analysis of fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene has been associated with obesity in multiple populations. It was shown that FTO gene had been involved in the regulation of the activities of feeding, energy balance and fat storage. This experiment randomly collected 110 blood samples from Maiwa yak groups. To verified whether there were mutations amon...
