The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of bovine colostrum to attenuate postexercise decline in immune function. The authors evaluated the time course of a number of immune variables after short-term intense exercise in 9 male athletes after 10 d of supplementation with either colostrum or skim-milk powder. To increase the stress on the immune system subjects performed a gly...

Malnourished children under treatment in the wards of the Infantile Malnutrition Research Unit, Kampala, have for several years received biscuit meals made largely from groundnuts, with smaller quantities of maize and wheat flours, cottonseed oil, sugar and skim-milk powder. The meals have been of two chief kinds. In the first, 8 or 15 yo skim-milk powder was cooked with the other ingredients, ...

This application note reports on the development of a calibration model, its validation and applicability for the determination of residual lactose in lactose-reduced milk and milk products using a Lactoscope FTIR Advanced (FTA) Instrument. The calibration model developed for milk was based on a set of 76 samples, including process samples, endproducts of various brands of skim milk, semi skim ...

The aim of this study was to produce a colloidally stable whey protein concentrate enriched in β-casein. Microfiltration (MF) skim milk completed at ∼7 °C (pore size 0.1 μm) followed by ultrafiltration the MF permeate ∼9 β-casein-whey fraction (BWPC). casein:whey ratio BWPC system ∼25:75. Skim then added retentate level supplying 0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% (w/w) total protein, evaporation spray dryin...

Skim milk of approximately 3% total protein was ultrafiltered to 16.2% protein and 4.1 % lactose, and then diafiltered to reduce lactose to 2.1% and 0.9%. Total protein con ten t was maintained at approximately 17%. A ponion of the sk im milk was condensed in a rising film evaporator to 14.7% protein and 15.7 % lactose . All concentrates were spray dried at 120 to 125 °C inlet air temperature a...
