Fortified blended foods (FBF), especially corn soy blend, are used as food aid for millions of people worldwide, especially malnourished individuals and vulnerable groups. There are only a few studies evaluating the effect of FBF on health outcomes, and the potential negative effect of antinutrients has not been examined. Different lines of evidence suggest that dairy proteins have beneficial e...

This is a population-based cross-sectional study to evaluate the frequency of consumption of dairy products by adults and the elderly in Pelotas in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in accordance with demographic, social and economic characteristics. Frequency of dairy product consumption was obtained by means of a questionnaire containing short, straightforward questions. Information about the 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...

A casein assay has been developed with aggregation induced emission character of BSPOTPE, which is a derivative of tetraphenylethene (TPE). The method exhibits a wide dynamic range of detection for casein from 10 μg ml(-1) to 5000 μg ml(-1), and a good linear range from 20 μg ml(-1) to 1250 μg ml(-1). With sample-pretreatment procedures, we can detect the casein in skimmed and full milk powder,...

Prednisolone is a safe antiinflammatory agent for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. To improve the aqueous solubility of the drug and dissolution rate, the complexation of prednisolone with skimmed milk was studied. A physical mixture and solid dispersion of prednisolone with skimmed milk were prepared. The lyophilization method was used to prepare the solid dispersion. Detection of inclu...

Method Specific antibodies were raised in a Brown Norway (BN) rat model of food allergy. BN rats were dosed either (1) intraperitoneally (i.p.) with the purified native cow’s milk allergens with or without the use of Al(HO)3 as adjuvant or (2) orally with skimmed milk powder without the use of adjuvant. The specific IgG1 and IgE antibody responses were analysed against native and denatured alle...

1. An automatic apparatus is described by which a new supply of food can be furnished actively growing organisms at any desired interval of time-an automatic transferring device. 2. A single strain of pneumococcus, Type I, Neufeld, which had become avirulent for mice, acquired virulence of maximal degree when grown in the described apparatus with skimmed milk sterilized in an Arnold sterilizer ...

In this paper we report a case of neonatal chylous ascites the diagnosis of which was made by lymphoscintigraphy and exclusion of all other organic diseases. Initial treatment with skimmed milk feeding was not effective, hence repeated abdominal paracentesis was required to relieve the distension. Total parenteral nutrition combined with intravenous somatostatin eventually resulted in long-term...

the particle morphology and decreased infectivity and re verse transcriptase activity of the virions. The cream fraction was more effective in the physical, biochemical, and biological degradation of the virions than the whole or skimmed milk, but the nature of the degrading component(s) has not been determined. The significance of the destructive effect of human milk upon mouse mammary tumor v...
