Milk was obtained from two captive bred cheetahs. The nutrient content was 99.6 g protein; 64.8 g fat; and 40.21 g lactose per kg milk. Small amounts of oligosaccharides, glucose, galactose and fucose were noted. The protein fraction respectively consisted of 34.2 g caseins per kg milk and of 65.3 g whey proteins per kg milk. Very little variation in milk composition among the individual cheeta...

Bulk tank somatic cell count (BTSCC) is a gold standard test for identification of milk quality, but its results are influenced by several interventional factors. Recently, application of acute phase proteins and especially milk amyloid A (MMA) has been considered as accurate parameters for milk quality study. The current research was done to evaluate the accuracy of MMA, BTSCC, fat, protein an...

Milk proteins exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biological activities. Many milk proteins possess specific biological properties that make these components potential ingredients of health-promoting foods. Increasing attention is being focused on physiologically active peptides derived from milk proteins. These peptides are inactive within the sequence of the parent protein molec...

Milk is a source of bioactive molecules with wide-ranging functions. Among these, the immune properties have been the best characterised. In recent years, it has become apparent that besides the immunoglobulins, milk also contains a range of minor immune-related proteins that collectively form a significant first line of defence against pathogens, acting both within the mammary gland itself as ...

BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin E-mediated allergy to cow's milk protein represents a major problem for infants who are not breast fed. A search for substitute milks revealed a cross-allergenicity to milk derived from goat and sheep but not to milk from a mare. We noted that the cow, goat and sheep species are both artiodactyls and ruminants, defining them as kosher animals, in contrast to the mare. ...

Abstract Milk coagulum, made by mixing calcium chloride into warmed whole buffalo milk, was the subject of research its chemical and sensory qualities. The yield calcium-milk coagulum 25.7%, above soft cheese (19.9%). Calcium milk had following percentages water, total solids, acidity, carbs, proteins, ash, fat after being refrigerated for one day at 71 °C: 56.4%, 43.6%, 0.14 %, 4.5 20.27%, 1.4...

This chapter reviews the genetic factors affecting composition and quality of cow's milk. It starts by discussing how different breeds cattle can affect The then goes on to examine milk proteins, variants post-translational modifications. discusses coagulation other functional properties, before highlighting influence fatty acids minor components. also using mid-infrared spectroscopy for parame...

Milk protein is beneficial for the health of infants and mainly derived from bovine, sheep, goat or camel milk. High Fischer ratio peptides usually comprise two to nine amino acid residues. The computed as a molar between branched-chain acids (BCAAs) over aromatic (AAAs) with various claimed health-promoting functions. In this Lilliput review, classification nutritional functions milk proteins ...

Bovine milk proteins has been widely studied because of the strong association and relationship with composition and technological properties of milk. Cow’s milk quality is very important, above all in such countries like Italy, where about 70% of whole milk production is used in cheese-making industry. A reversed-phase highperformance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed to ide...

Soy proteins have been shown to result in lower postprandial nitrogen retention than milk proteins, but the mechanisms underlying these differences have not been elucidated. To investigate this question, we measured the postprandial kinetics of the appearance of individual (15)N-amino acids in the serum of healthy adults after the ingestion of either (15)N-soy (n = 8) or (15)N-milk proteins (n ...
