BACKGROUND Infant formulas are sophisticated milk-based feeds for infants which are used as a substitute for breast milk. Historically they are known to be contaminated by aluminium and in the past this has raised health concerns for exposed infants. We have measured the aluminium content of a number of widely used infant formulas to determine if their contamination by aluminium and consequent ...

Abstract Human breast milk, infant formula, and follow-up milks were tested by a commercial electronic tongue (αAstree, Alpha MOS) with the aim to determine taste diversity, since it has been recently shown that infants exposed different tastes early in life, develop food preference at later age. milk (36 samples) obtained from 13 lactating women, while 12 samples of formula 14 Croatian market ...

Green tea and its constituents are known for a wide range of health-promoting properties. They may exert antimicrobial action but without altering lactic acid bacteria. The aim of the present study was to estimate the effect of green tea addition on the selected properties of probiotic milks. Bioyogurts (fermented with ABT-1 coculture of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-...

Bifidobacteria is a well known bacteria that is found in abundance in the intestine of infants which provides several health and nutritional benefits. Realizing the many benefits of bifidobacteria to human, this study has been conducted with the objective to determine the growth promotional effect of different types of milk and milk proteins on Bifidobacterium species. One strains of Bifiodobac...

For non-bovine milks, information regarding bioactive lipids is fragmented, unreliable or unavailable. The purpose of the current study was to analyse in milk dairy animals using modern analytical methods achieve most reliable results. Bioactive human were also analysed and used as a reference. A suite employed, namely High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS), Gas Chro...

Antigen and tumor incidences in BALB/c and C57BL mice after living as weanlings for 5 weeks in cages with mouse mammary tumor virus-infected females were com pared with control BALB/c and C57BL mice living in the same laboratory. All mice were bred continuously, and third-lactation milks were tested for mouse mammary tumor virus antigen by Ouchterlony microimmunodiffusion test. Mammary tumor in...

Lactobacillus spp. are lactic acid bacteria which have important implications for the food industry due to their fermentation capacities. The aims of this research were produce fermented goat milks with plantarum B7 and rhamnosus D1, isolated from Brazilian artisanal cheeses, evaluate physico-chemical, microbiological sensorial qualities during 30 days storage at 7°C. milks, by B7, co-culture a...
