High performance liquid chromatographic methods for measuring the concentration of vitamins A and D in fluid milk were validated and used to assess the level of these nutrients in Ontario retail milk samples. Thirteen and fifteen fortified milk samples were tested for vitamins A and D, respectively. Repeatability relative standard deviation values for vitamins A and D in milk were generally les...

Viability of Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 following spray-drying and freeze-drying in skim milk was evaluated. After spray-drying, the strain experienced over 99% loss in viability regardless of the air outlet temperature (75 and 85 °C) and the heat-adaptation temperature (45 and 65 °C, 30 min). The use of heat-adaptation treatment to improve the thermotolerance of this strain was ineff...

A standardized descriptive language for skim milk powder and dried dairy ingredients was developed. The lexicon was initially identified from a large sample set of dried dairy ingredients (138). A highly trained descriptive panel (n = 14) refined terms and identified references. Dried dairy ingredients (36) were then evaluated using the developed language. Twenty-one descriptors were identified...

background and objectives: psychrotrophic bacteria can produce enzymes at low temperatures; this provides a wide biotechnological potential, and offers numerous economical advantages over the use of mesophilic bacteria. in this study, extracellular protease production by psychrotrophic rheinheimera sp. (km459533) was optimized by the response surface methodology. materials and methods: the cult...

in this study, modified starch was used as a fat replacer in the milk. the fat replacer was manufactured from modified starch such as pre-gelatinized and cross–linked starches. modified starches were manufactured by hydrochloric acid and citric acid treatments from potato and wheat and were added to skim milk at concentrations of 0.15%, 0.30% and 0.45%. viscosity, total solid, fat content, titr...

2010 Society of Dairy Technology Volatile compounds in skim milk and nonstandardised milk subjected to instant infusion pasteurisation at 80 C, 100 C and 120 C were compared with raw milk, high temperature short time pasteurised milk and milk pasteurised at 85 C ⁄30 s. The composition of volatile compounds differed between infusion pasteurisation treated samples and the reference pasteurisation...

To study repair and enterotoxin synthesis, four staphylococcal strains (FRI-100, FRI-137, FRI-472, and S6) were subjected to sublethal heat treatment, transferred to four liquid repair media (1% powdered skim milk in distilled water, complex medium, M9 minimal salt medium, and saline solution), and then incubated at different temperatures. Powdered skim milk proved to be the most efficient medi...

We investigated protein glycation in a complex milk system under controlled conditions representative of real-life consumer products, analysing intermediate and final products from skim powder production, aged samples. combined protein-centric LC-MS(/MS) with peptide-centric multi-protease LC-MS/MS focusing on the six most abundant bovine proteins. This strategy resulted identification glycated...

freeze-drying is a common preservation technology in the pharmaceutical industry. various studies have investigated the effect of different cryoprotectants on probiotics during freeze-drying. however, information on the effect of cryoprotectants on the stability of some lactobacillus strains during freeze-drying seems scarce. therefore, the aim of the present study was to establish production m...
