Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a C-terminal part (f 106-169) of kappa-casein which is released in whey during cheese making by the action of chymosin. GMP being a biologically active component has gained much attention in the past decade. It also has unique chemical and functional properties. Many of the biological properties have been ascribed to the carbohydrate moieties attached to the peptide. ...

Separation of proteins from whey; namely α – Lactoglobulin and β – Lactalbumin was obtained using the bubble foam column technique. Two types of whey were conducted in this study; yogurt whey and cheese whey. The effect of gas flow-rate and the height of the whey (liquid holdup) inside the column were studied at room temperature and at constant pH of whey. Whey used here obtained from local dai...

Various foods may be used to deliver probiotic bacteria into the gastrointestinal tract; one such example is Requeijão, a Portuguese whey cheese. Survival and stability of Bifidobacterium animalis strains BLC-1, Bb-12, and Bo, Lactobacillus acidophilus strains LAC-1 and Ki, L. paracasei ssp. paracasei strain LCS-1 and L. brevis strain LMG 6906 inoculated into Requeijão, when exposed to simulate...

The fate of ivermectin (IVM) residues was studied throughout the processing of daily bulk milk from 30 ewes (taken up to 33 d following subcutaneous administration of 0.2 mg IVM/kg b.w.) in the following milk products: yoghurt made from raw and pasteurized milk; cheese after pressing; 30- and 60-day ripened cheese; and whey, secondary whey and whey proteins obtained after cheese-making (albumin...

Introduction Hellim (Halloumi) cheese is a traditional cheese belonging to Cyprus. Hellim is a popular and a widely-consumed dairy product especially in the eastern region of Mediterranean (Kaminarides et al., 2007). It is a semi-hard rindless cheese preserved in brine. The manufacture of Halloumi has been described by Anifantakis and Kaminarides (1983). The most characteristic peculiarity of t...

The inability of humans to synthesize essential amino acids (EAA) necessitates the need to increase the levels of these nutrient molecules in certain foods in which they are deficient. Maize ogi is a typical food product for both infants and adults in Africa, but with poor EAA content. This study therefore sought to assess the possibility of increasing the EAA content in maize ogi by processing...

Whey is a green-yellowish fluid that derives from cheese-making and casein manufacture. The compositional quality and properties of whey can differ greatly, which depends on production technology and milk quality used. The main constituents of whey’s dry matter are lactose (46-52 g/L) and whey proteins (6-10 g/L) (Jelen, 2003; Adam et al., 2004; Jeličić et al., 2008). Whey fermentation is initi...

Whey, a by-product of cheese manufacturing is rich in nutrients such as lactose, proteins, and mineral salts. The fungus Mortierella isabellina was used for production of oil containing γ-linoleic acid (GLA) during fermentation on deproteinized whey permeate (DP-WP) with and without lactase addition. The maximum oil concentration was 3.65 g/L in DP-whey (16.0% lactose) without enzyme treatment....

Whey is a by-product obtained during coagulation of milk by using acid and/or rennet or physico-chemical process for the preparation of cheese, paneer, chhana, chakka and casein. Whey contains about 80-90% of the volume of milk that is used for production these products. It contains about half of the milk solids in which nutritional components such as lactose, protein and minerals are present i...

In the present study, the effect of feed Se supplementation on the Se content of raw milk and mozzarella cheese as well as the effect on cheese quality and functionality were determined. The Se milk was produced by supplying dairy cow feed with Se yeast (0.3mg of Se/kg of dry matter), resulting in a Se concentration in milk of 35.81μg/L. The fat, casein, and whey protein of Se milk were separat...
