Smen is a milk fat isolated by ‘boiling-off’ water. Milk fat was first converted into butter and then into smen. Smen product is utilized for culinary cooking and frying of different food. Smen has better shelf-life than other indigenous dairy products due to its lower moisture content. However, it undergoes deterioration (lipolysis and oxidation of milk fat) causes flavor impairment, lowers nu...

THE component fatty acids and glycerides of the milk-fat of the camel have been studied in detail, in order to compare them with those of the milk-fats of the cow [Hilditch et al., 1929; 1930; 1931], buffalo [Bhattacharya and Hilditch, 1931], sheep and goat [Dhingra, 1933]. In north-western parts of India milk from camels is utilised as an article of diet by some tribes, but the fat is rarely e...

background: appetite lowering characteristics of dairy have attracted scientists to look for its effect on energy intake particularly among children. in the present study, we tried to assess the effect of low-fat milk on total and short-term energy intake among obese boys in a randomized three-way cross-over clinical trial. methods: a total of 34 obese 10-12-year-old boys were randomized to con...

The effects of fat supplementation and weaning system on commercial milk yield and milk composition were determined on 129 East Friesian crossbred ewes. Prior to lambing, ewes were randomly assigned to one of two weaning systems. The DY1 system involved weaning of ewes from their lambs within 24 to 36 hr post-partum and then twice-daily machine milking. In the MIX system, ewes had access to the...

In connection with a recent study on human milk fat (1.) an opportunity was afforded to measure qualitatively and quantitatively the fatty acid distribution in the fat from human milk collected during the first 3 days of lactation. Some differences in composition were observed ,for these colostrum samples when they were compared with mature human milk fat. It was considered desirable therefore ...

The authors have analysed fat contents and fatty acid composition of the mother’s colostrum and mother’s milk in comparison with the newest publications. They have established that the average fat contents of the mother’s milk were 3.6–4.0%, and increased during lactation. Among the different ethnic groups there was found no significant difference in the fat contents of the mother’s milk, altho...

this study was conducted to evaluate production response of early lactating cows to rumen protected fats. twelve (nine multiparous and three primiparous) holstein cows (26±4 d in milk) were empolyed in a replicated 3×3 latin square design of 21-d periods. each period consisted of 14 days of adaptation and 7 days of sampling. cows received diets containing either one of two types of protected fa...

objective: to modify yeild of milk fat and to improve fatty acids profile of milk fat with supplementation of the diet with fish oil enrich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha). design: clinical trial. animals: ten dairy cows (treatment group, n=5 and control group, n=5). procedure: different amounts of fish oil were fed to the treatment...

In lactating mammary glands, milk fat is secreted as fat globules surrounded by a cell plasma membrane containing characteristic membrane-associated proteins. Among these, butyrophilin has been shown to be specific and intrinsic to the fat globule membrane, whereas milk-fat globule EGF-factor VIII (MFG-E8) is uncertain. We characterized in the present study MFG-E8 in milk fat globules and in th...

Signer, E., Murphy, G. M., Edkins, S., and Anderson, C. M. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 174. Role of bile salts in fat malabsorption of premature infants. Eighteen premature infants were studied. 9 were fed with human milk and 9 with a modified cow's milk. Subsequent to a 72-hour fat balance, a duodenal intubation was performed on the 14th day of life. Total bile acids were det...
