The continued popularity of organic and natural foods has generated interest in organic milk, and use of pasture for dairy cattle is a requirement for organic production. This process may improve the health benefits of fluid milk via increases in the unsaturated fatty acid content, including conjugated linoleic acid. Because pasture-based (PB) systems vary in types of forage, it is important to...

This study evaluated the presence of biogenic amines in fermented cow's and goat's milks containing probiotic bacteria, during the first 10 days of chilled storage (4 ± 2°C), when the probiotic strains are most viable. The overall acceptance of both fermented milks, produced using the same starter culture and probiotics, was tested. In both products, the initially high levels of tyramine (560 m...

Subviral cores have been prepared from the oncornavirus-like particle found in human milks with the use of phospholipase C and ether or Sterox SL. The major protein of these cores has a molecular weight of 27,000 daltons, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This protein is found in the core fractions of reverse transcriptase-positive milks and is absent i...

The natural creaming of raw and heated camel milk was studied. Compared with cow (Bos taurus) milk, camel (Camelus dromedarius) milk showed very slow creaming rate in both raw and heated milk at refrigerator and room temperatures. Fat globule size distribution was similar in cow and camel milks. The creaming ability was also studied in various combinations of skim milks and creams of raw camel ...

BACKGROUND Adequate intakes of calcium are required for optimal bone health and protection against chronic disease. Dairy products are an excellent source of calcium. OBJECTIVE The absorption of calcium from a range of fortified milks was measured in humans with the use of stable isotopes. DESIGN Fifteen volunteers participated in a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover study. Five...

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate anticancer activity of cow, goat, sheep, mare, donkey and camel milks and their casein and whey proteins against MCF7 cell line. The structure-based properties of the casein proteins were also investigated, using bioinformatics tools to find explanation for their antitumor activities. The effect of different milks and their casein and whey p...

I . Baby pigs were removed from the sow 36-48 h after birth and reared on a diet of reconstituted whole-milk powder until 28 d of age. The whole milk was either mildly or severely heated before spray-drying ; the severe heating completely denatured the whey proteins. 2. When the two milks were given at a high level of intake, either at hourly intervals or twice daily, severe scouring and some d...

Plant-based milk industry has been enlarged with increasing demand for plant types and their products. Demand is based on some factors such as vegan consumption, nutritional content, carbon emissions, lactose intolerance, other factors. According to raw material, plant-based vegetable can be divided into five categories cereal-based (oat, rice, corn spelt milks), legume-based (soy, peanut, lupi...

AIM To provide a comprehensive report of fluoride concentration in UK infant milks and estimate their contribution to daily fluoride intake. METHODS A total of 60 formula milk products available commercially or within a hospital environment were analysed, along with eight pasteurised cow's milk samples. Formula milk products requiring preparation were reconstituted with fresh Leeds tap water ...

The composition of fourteen infant formulae and six follow-up milks with regard to their free amino acids (including taurine), free nucleotides, orotic acid, and free and total l-carnitine content was studied. The levels found were compared with the limits established in European legislation and with the composition of human and cows' milk samples. HPLC methodologies, optimized and validated fo...
