Milk gangliosides have gained considerable attention because they participate in diverse biological processes, including neural development, pathogen binding, and activation of the immune system. Herein, we present a quantitative measurement of the gangliosides present in bovine milk and other dairy products and byproducts. Ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography separation was used for hig...

Phospholipideprotein monolayer films were studied as model systems to mimic the structure of the native bovine milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and to understand lipideprotein interactions at the surface of the globule. Phospholipids extracted from bovine raw milk, raw cream, processed milk and buttermilk powder were spread onto the airewater interface of a Langmuir trough, b-casein was then ad...

The constituents of English compounds (e.g., butter and fly for butterfly) and two-character Chinese words may differ in meaning from the whole word. Furthermore, the meanings of the words containing the same constituent (e.g., butter in “butterfingers”, or “buttermilk”) may or may not be consistent. Estimating semantic transparency of a constituent is usually difficult and subjective because o...

The purpose of this research was to assess the hygienic properties of commercially available dairy foods. The products surveyed included liquid milks (pasteurized and UHT-treated), cultured dairy products (kefir, cultured buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, probiotic fermented milks), cheeses (quarg products, soft, semi-hard, hard, and extra hard cheeses made from bovine, caprine, and ovine milk), ...
