background: lactoperoxidase (lpo) is one of the most heat-stable enzymes in milk and its inactivation has been proposed for monitoring thermal processes. the aim of this study was to provide information on activity and thermal inactivation behavior of lpo in iranian cow and buffalo milk and whey. methods: sixty cow and buffalo milk samples were collected. the lpo activity was measured using spe...

BACKGROUND Although considerable efforts have been made to develop diagnostic tools for predicting the outcome of oral food challenges, tests for predicting the outgrowth of food allergies are lacking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of the wheal size and skin index (SI) (the ratio of an allergen-induced wheal to a histamine-induced wheal diameter) of the sk...

BACKGROUND The most reliable method to diagnose food allergy or to determine tolerance is the oral food challenge. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe the open oral food challenge applied to children with suspicion of cow's milk allergy mediated by immunoglobulin E, and evaluate the relation between the clinical history and skin prick test with the challenge outcomes. PATIENTS ...

Camel milk requires more calf rennet than cow milk to coagulate and the relative amount of rennet needed varies widely (2, 8, 14, 16). Extracts of adult camel abomasa have been used to coagulate cow milk with success (5, 6, 7). However, these enzymes have not been tried on camel milk. Rennet extracts from lamb and cow calves were found to be more effective with the milk of the respective specie...

Abstract Background Cow’s milk is known to be the most frequent food allergen in infants first years of life. Eliminating cow protein from diets and reintroducing it with a challenge test are main methods for sure diagnosis. Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS) has been developed primary health care providers improve their knowledge about CMPA. Objective This study was conducted prescribe clinic...

Human breast milk is the best nutritional support that insures the right development and influences the immune status of the newborn infant. However, when it is not possible to breast feed, it may be necessary to use commercial infant formulas that mimic, where possible, the levels and types of nutrients present in human milk. Despite this, some formula-fed infant develops allergy and/or atopic...
