Obesity, a condition in which an abnormally large amount of fat is stored in adipose tissue, causing an increase in body weight, has become a major public health concern worldwide. The purpose of this study was to optimize the process for fermented milk for the production of a functional product with an anti-obesity effect by using Lactobacillus plantarum Q180 isolated from human feces. We used...

Background Cow’s milk allergy is the most common food allergy among children. Previous studies have reported that up to 75% of children may tolerate baked milk goods. Various forms of baked milk challenges have been used in the literature such as muffins, pizza, and waffles. However, the food used for baked milk challenge is often prepared in a non-standardized manner by the parents at home, ra...

In this paper, the method of simultaneous determinations of methoxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in dairy products from China was investigated. PBDEs are widely used brominated flame retardant, which are increasingly reported in the environment. MeO-PBDEs are structural analogs to PBDEs, and reported as natural products and novel pollutants present in t...

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, ...

Milk protein concentrate (MPC) manufacture utilizes ultrafiltration to produce partially or completely delactosed high protein dairy ingredients. A variety of products are available in the liquid or dried form and range in protein content on a dry basis from 56 to 85%. The protein in MPC is a mixture of native casein and whey protein at a concentration of 80 and 20% of the total protein, respec...

A multinational collaborative team led by the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention is currently investigating the potential of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for nontargeted detection of adulterants in skim and nonfat dry milk powder. The development of a compendial method is challenged by the range of authentic or nonadulterated milk powders available worldwide. This paper investigates the sources ...

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...

Development of malodourous compounds, hexanal and p-vinyl guaiacol (PVG), in UHT model liquid systems fortified with wholegrain oat were evaluated. Single and mixed systems using oat powder (3, 5, and 7% w/w), skim milk powder (SMP, 2.8% w/w) and sucrose (6.7% w/w) were subjected to UHT treatment and 29 days ambient storage. Both chromatographic analyses and panellists' perceived aroma intensit...
