When the Wisconsin dairy sheep industry got started in the mid 1990s, cheesemakers had to get accustomed to a whole new source of milk. All were familiar with cow milk and some were familiar with goat milk. However, sheep milk was much more concentrated with about twice as much fat and 40% more protein that cow or goat milk. They also found that sheep milk responded differently in the cheese ma...

This study aimed to characterize the role of phosphorylation of caseins in selective allergy to goat milk (GM) and sheep milk (SM) in patients with good tolerance to cow milk (CM). We performed skin prick tests with milk and caseins from CM, GM, and SM and immunoblotting and specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E determinations with milk and casein from cow and GM and SM. Sensitization to milk and case...

The paper examines the question of using enzyme microbial transglutaminase (mTG) for bryndza cheese production. Microbial belongs to family that catalyzes formation bonds between amino groups. One problems in production high-protein products, particular, cheeses from goat milk is flabbiness clot. use mTG technological process would allow strengthening product protein matrix, thereby improving i...

Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of short term frozen storage of milk and curd on textural properties and physico-chemical composition of white brined goat cheese. Raw milk and curds (at various stages of pressing) were frozen and kept for seven days at -27 °C. Following the freezing, all the experimental cheeses were manufactured by the standard procedure, the same that wa...

Two groups of market samples were collected: four whey produced in small scale facilities, and large dairy factories. The additional two groups: acid (a) sweet whey(s) collected laboratory from cheeses differently heated goat milk (A—65°C/30 min, B—80°C/5 min C—90°C/5 min). Gross composition (dry matter content, fat protein content), pH, protein, mineral microbial counts determined. Obtained re...

The safety and nutritional adequacy of goat milk infant formulas have been questioned. The primary aim of the present study was to compare the growth and nutritional status of infants fed a goat milk infant formula with those of infants fed a typical whey-based cow milk infant formula. The secondary aim was to examine a range of health- and allergy-related outcomes. A double-blind, randomised c...

Activation energy of flow (Ea) between 30 and 44 C was calculated from temperature sweeps of cheeses with contrasting characteristics to determine its usefulness in predicting rheological behavior upon heating. Cheddar, Colby, whole milk Mozzarella, low-moisture part-skim Mozzarella, Parmesan, soft goat, and Queso Fresco cheeses were heated from 22 to 70 C, and Ea was calculated from the result...

Milk composition is an imperative aspect which influences the quality of dairy products. The objective of study was to compare the chemical composition, nitrogen fractions and amino acids profile of milk from buffalo, cow, sheep, goat, and camel. Sheep milk was found to be highest in fat (6.82%±0.04%), solid-not-fat (11.24%±0.02%), total solids (18.05%±0.05%), protein (5.15%±0.06%) and casein (...
