freeze concentration is a process of concentrating liquid products by freezing the water content and subsequently removing the so-formed ice crystals from the food system. in dairy processing, this technology offers the advantage of minimizing the heat abuse of sensitive milk components, such as proteins and flavors. it thus provides an opportunity for producing dairy ingredients with enhanced ...

There have been considerable advances in our understanding of the diverse mixture of bioactive components in human milk that influence the immune status of infants by not only providing protection but also facilitating development, tolerance, and an appropriate inflammatory response. It could be suggested that milk is the communication vehicle between the maternal immune system and the infant, ...

Rotaviruses are the leading cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea in children worldwide. We have found that high-M(r) glycoprotein fraction (F1) from cow's milk whey has potent inhibitory activity against human rotavirus (HRV) in cell culture. The present study was undertaken to identify and characterize the components responsible for this inhibitory activity. F1 was initially heated at 95 degre...

Improved means of cancer prevention and treatment remain key goals of global health programmes. This is particularly true in Western society, where the elderly represent a large proportion of the population, and where the likelihood of tumour development is compounded by risk factors such as poor fibre/high fat diets and environmental pollution. Dietary intervention represents an attractive, no...

Milk is one of the most important foods for mammals, because it is the first form of feed providing energy, nutrients and immunological factors. In the last few years, milk lipids have attracted the attention of researchers due to the presence of several bioactive components in the lipid fraction. The lipid fraction of milk and dairy products contains several components of nutritional significa...

This article uses revealed preferences of consumers to study the consumer benefits from rBST-free and organic labeled milk. The article specifies and estimates a quadratic AIDS demand system model for different milk types using US supermarket scanner data. The introduction of rBST-free and organic milk is used to estimate consumer benefits, which are decomposed into two components, competitive ...

Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to describe the key attributes of nine ultrapasteurized (UP) milk products of various fat levels, including two lactose-reduced products, from two dairy plants. Principal components analysis identified four significant principal components that accounted for 87.6% of the variance in the sensory attribute data. Principal component scores indicated that ...

genetic parameters and trends for milk and fat yields as well as for fat percentage were estimated from 35,438 milk production records (305d, 2x) of 17,971 holstein dairy cattle in 133 herds during the period of 1990-2003 in khorasan province. variance components were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood statistical method applying univariate and repeatability animal models. for the un...
