OBJECTIVES There is increasing evidence that breastfeeding has long-term effects on offspring biology and health, which has heightened interest in understanding the extent of variation in breast milk composition and its underlying determinants. Here, we report variation in milk macronutrient composition in a well-characterized cohort of young Filipino mothers and test underlying maternal predic...

PURPOSE To determine tocopherol and fat content of Greek mother's milk during the first 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and correlate with maternal diet characteristics. METHODS Milk samples and dietary records were obtained by mothers at 1st (n = 64), 3rd (n = 39) and 6th (n = 23) month postpartum. Milk tocopherol content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography method (H...

Control of milk composition is of importance in dairy ewes because milk is mostly used for cheese making. Besides numerous factors that alter milk composition, knowledge on the effects of nutrition is useful for it concerns both yield and milk content. Furthermore, modification of nutrition is a powerful and short-term means of altering milk composition. Global effects of nutrition are to be se...

regarding the unique properties of camel milk, it can be used as a nutraceutical product. in this study, the effect of different variables on the quality characteristics of synbiotic yoghurt made from camel milk was studied. independent variables (all in three levels) in this study were: β-glucan (prebiotic agent)  0 - 1 - 2%, fat content 0 - 2.5 - 5%, the amount of probiotic bacteria 0.5 - 1 –...
