milk fat is frequently adulterated to meet the demand which exceeds the supply and to increase profit margins. samples of butter adulterated with different levels (5, 10 and 15% w/w) of margarine were prepared and analysed using different methods including refractive index, iodine, reichert-meissl and polenske values. gc and hplc were utilized to determine fatty acid and tocol profiles of sampl...

BACKGROUND Salmonella serotype Tennessee is a rare cause of the estimated 1 million cases of salmonellosis occurring annually in the United States. In January 2007, we began investigating a nationwide increase in Salmonella Tennessee infections. METHODS We defined a case as Salmonella Tennessee infection in a patient whose isolate demonstrated 1 of 3 closely related pulsed-field gel electroph...

Resistant starch type III (RS III) derived from enzymatically debranched high amylose rice starch was prepared and used to make butter cake at different levels (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) in place of wheat flour. Physico-chemical properties, sensory evaluation, and in vitro starch hydrolysis rate of the developed butter cake were investigated. This study showed that the content of resistant starch i...

OBJECTIVES Since diabetes mellitus is accompanied by cognitive impairment in diabetic patient and animal models and since lipids play important roles in neuronal membrane composition, structure and function; we intended to evaluate the effect of dietary butter oil on passive avoidance memory of streptoztosin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS THIRTY SIX ADULT MAL...

Background: Butter is known to have a cholesterol-raising effect and, therefore, has often been included as a negative control in dietary studies, whereas the effect of moderate butter intake has not been elucidated to our knowledge. Objective: We compared the effects of moderate butter intake, moderate olive oil intake, or a habitual diet on blood lipids, highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs...

import of 2000 tons of butter that meets parts of domestic need equals over100 million dollar per year. also we can produce butter flavouring in the product using encubation of di-acetyl mesophillic starter and yoghurt thermophillic starter  in skim milk (water phase). the sample that is produced with mesophillic starter had a better aroma in %5 level than imported lactic butter and has little ...

Senescence-accelerated mouse-prone (SAMP1; SAMP1@Umz) is an animal model of senile amyloidosis with apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) amyloid fibril (AApoAII) deposits. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of dietary fats on AApoAII deposits in SAMP1 mice when purified diets containing 4% fat as butter, safflower oil, or fish oil were fed to male mice for 26 weeks. The serum HDL cho...

The purpose of this research was to produce cocoa butter equivalent from the blend of mango seed almond fat (MAF) from “Keaw” variety mango kernels and palm oil mid-fraction (POMF). Seven MAF-POMF blends with different proportions (100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50 and 0/100 (%wt) of MAF to POMF) including cocoa butter were characterized using various techniques. Fatty acid composition w...

In this study we explored the use of butter as a sampling matrix to reflect the regional and global scale distribution of PCBs and selected organochlorine pesticides/metabolites in air. This was because persistent organic pollutants (POPs) concentrate in dairy fats, where concentrations are controlled by feed intake (primarily from pasture/silage), which is in turn primarily controlled by atmos...
