A lactose-hydrolyzed milk with low sweetness was developed using nanofiltration. Raw milk was treated with 0.03% β-galactosidase at 4°C for 24 h to hydrolyze lactose partially. The resultant lactose-hydrolyzed milk containing 0.43% lactose was then concentrated using a nanofiltration membrane to reach concentration factor of 2.13. The concentration factors and coefficients of retention of milk ...

The identity of a novel form of sialyl-lactose found in milk of the echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) was investigated. The sialyl-lactose yielded equimolar amounts of N-acetylneuraminic acid and lactose during mild acid hydrolysis but was resistant to the action of a bacterial neuraminidase. A viral neuraminidase hydrolysed it to lactose plus a form of sialic acid that reacted positively with t...

The capacity of intestinal lactase (EC 3.2.1.23) of piglets to hydrolyse lactose in vivo was investigated by measuring the response of blood galactose to doses of lactose, galactose plus glucose and both whole and skimmed milk. Following the administration of oral doses of lactose dissolved in water to piglets from 2 to 18 d of age the adjusted galactose area under the curve (AUC) was between 1...

BACKGROUND Ingestion of a large dose of the milk sugar lactose--for example, the 50 g load in 1 liter of milk--causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, bloating and flatulence in the majority of people with lactose malabsorption. It is uncertain whether the ingestion of more common doses of lactose, such as the amount in 240 mol (8 oz) of milk, causes symptoms. Some people insist that...

BACKGROUND When lactose malabsorption gives rise to symptoms, the result is called 'lactose intolerance'. Although lactose intolerance is often bothersome for patients, once recognized it may be managed by simple dietary adjustments. However, diagnosing lactose intolerance is not straightforward, especially in primary care. AIM To summarize available evidence on the diagnostic performance of ...

To determine whether lactase persistence might be related to ovarian cancer risk, in 1994-1995 the authors assessed the capacity to digest lactose by measuring breath hydrogen production after oral administration of lactose in 50 women with ovarian cancer and 100 healthy controls. All of the women came from Sassari (Sardinia), Italy, an area where the population has a high frequency of lactose ...

Kluyveromyces lactis is able to ferment lactose and it is considered as an alternative model for biochemical, physiological and genetic studies in nonSaccharomyces yeasts. Understanding the mechanisms of lactose uptake and the regulation involved in the transport is an important step towards better biotechnological applications. The transport of lactose in K. lactis is mediated by a membrane pe...

The Jakobsson hybrid Mix-net proposed by Jakobsson and Juels, is a very practical and efficient scheme for long input messages. But this hybrid Mix-net does not have public verifiable property. In this paper a new attack to the Jakobsson hybrid Mix-net is introduced. This attack breaks the robustness of the hybrid Mix-net scheme, given that the corrupted first mix server and one of the senders ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect Barley Sprout Fodder (BSF) on milk production and composition Saanen goats Friesian ewes. Twenty does (1-year-old) twenty East ewes (1 5 years old), were selected for experiment, where each species divided into four treatment groups. Goat treatments consisted 0 (CRTL), 758 (BSF1), 1498 (BSF2) 2270 (BSF3) g wet BSF/d added an alfalfa/grass ha...
