Nutraceutical products make up the fastest growing segment of the U.S. food industry. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) occurs naturally in milk at low levels and is an anticarcinogen. Research indicates that concentrations of 1 to 3 g CLA/day would provide protective anticarcinogenic benefits. Increased levels of CLA in fluid milk would produce a nutraceutical dairy beverage. The objectives of th...

freeze concentration is a process of concentrating liquid products by freezing the water content and subsequently removing the so-formed ice crystals from the food system. in dairy processing, this technology offers the advantage of minimizing the heat abuse of sensitive milk components, such as proteins and flavors. it thus provides an opportunity for producing dairy ingredients with enhanced ...

This study was undertaken to optimize skim milk and yeast extract concentration as a cultivation medium for optimal Bifidobacteria pseudocatenulatum G4 (G4) biomass and β -galactosidase production as well as lactose and free amino nitrogen (FAN) balance after cultivation period. Optimization process in this study involved four steps: screening for significant factors using 2(3) full factorial d...

Yogurt-like products were prepared from a combination of skim milk and soymilk (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100) containing saccharified-rice solution by lactic fermentation of four different cultures. The ratio of skim milk and soy milk had no significant effect on titratable acidity, while the type and nature of culture used for fermentation affected the titratable acidity. Lower synere...

rheological properties of chocolate are important in manufacturing process for obtaining high-quality products with well-defined texture and are directly influenced by composition and their refining time. soy protein benefits from nutritional and functional properties to be used in different foods. effects of different replacement levels of skim milk powder by soy flour, (from 0 to 100%) and ba...

The potential of Raman chemical imaging for simultaneously detecting multiple adulterants in milk powder was investigated. Potential chemical adulterants, including ammonium sulphate, dicyandiamide, melamine, and urea, were mixed together into skim dry milk in the concentration range of 0.1-5.0% for each adulterant. Using a 785-nm laser, a Raman imaging system acquired hyperspectral images in t...
