The effect of milk and skim milk intake on serum lipid and apoprotein levels was investigated in young females with consideration of each subject's menstrual period. When milk and dairy products were not allowed, the serum cholesterol concentration tended to decrease in high density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), the triglyceride concentration tended to increase in H...

Additions of 0.0005 N calcium borogluconate to Trypticase Soy Broth (TSB) produced an increase in phage titer about 1 million-fold, whereas its addition to skim milk resulted in about a 100-fold decrease in the maximal titer. Supplemental calcium had a stimulatory influence on bacterial growth in TSB but not in skim milk. Studies were made of the effect of binding of calcium of skim milk on the...

A reproducible method for comparing the effects of treatment with milk products on the acid solubility of enamel surfaces is described. Using this method it was found that treatment with cows’ milk reduced solubility by more than 20 per cent, regardless of whether it was raw or pasteurized whole or skim milk. Reconstituted whole and reconstituted skim milk gave similar reductions. Similar depre...

To study the effect of processing on polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) levels, milk from four dairy herds containing less than 0.3 ppm (fat basis) of physiologically incorporated PBBs was presented individually into cream, skim milk, butter, and stirred curd cheese. Pasteurized and freeze-dried whole milk, skim milk, and cream, spray-dried whole milk and skim milk, and condensed whole milk were als...

chicory plant (dorema aucheri) belongs to asteraceae family and contains flavonoids. milk is a mixture of protein, fat, lactose, minerals. this research carried out in order to evaluate the effect of chicory plant on the activities of bifidobacterium bifidum and lactobacillus acidophilus. four containers containing a liter of 1.5 % sterilized skim milk were selected as four group in order to pr...

A series of additives were evaluated for their effects on improving the yield and quality of DNA extracted from recalcitrant soils. Levels of possible DNA contaminants in these supplements were also assessed. Three of the additives (skim milk, casein, and RNA) were shown to be effective in improving the stable extraction of DNA from recalcitrant samples of Andosol. However, whereas skim milk ap...

The tendency of calcium to promote microfiltration (MF) membrane fouling is well documented, but the role of lactose has not been studied. Milk protein concentrate that is 85% protein on a dry basis (MPC85) contains less calcium and lactose than skim milk. Our objectives were to determine the effects of skim milk soluble calcium and lactose concentrations on the limiting fluxes (LF) and serum p...

the potential of bulk starter fermentation strategy for production of a cost-effective and safe source of β-galactosidase was investigated. three different bulk starter media with different compositions were selected, and an industrial yogurt starter culture strain, l. bulgaricus dsm 20081 was cultivated in these media under ph-controlled conditions (ph=5.6) at 43°c. the media consisted of 1) b...
