Heat-Induced Changes in Milk Fat

Developmental changes in the milk fat globule membrane proteome during the transition from colostrum to milk.

Shotgun proteomics, using amine-reactive isobaric tags (iTRAQ), was used to quantify protein changes in milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) that were isolated from d 1 colostrum and compared with MFGM from d 7 milk. Eight Holstein cows were randomly assigned to 2 groups of 4 cow sample pools for a simple replication of this proteomic analysis using iTRAQ. The iTRAQ labeled peptides from the exper...

Color Changes Kinetics and Heat Transfer during Deep Fat Frying of Garlic Slice

Heat and mass transfer phenomena that take place during frying cause physicochemical changes, which affect the colour and surface of the fried products. The effect of frying temperature on the colour changes and heat transfer during deep fat frying of garlic has been investigated. The colour scale parameters redness (a*), yellowness (b*) and lightness (L*), and color change intensity (∆E) were ...

Elucidating fish oil-induced milk fat depression in dairy sheep: Milk somatic cell transcriptome analysis

In this study, RNA sequencing was used to obtain a comprehensive profile of the transcriptomic changes occurring in the mammary gland of lactating sheep suffering from fish oil-induced milk fat depression (FO-MFD). The milk somatic cell transcriptome analysis of four control and four FO-MFD ewes generated an average of 42 million paired-end reads per sample. In both conditions, less than 220 ge...

Managing Milk Fat Depression

Milk fat concentration is variable within and between farms and is modified by genetics, season of the year, and physiological state, but is especially responsive to diet. Synthesis of milk fat is an energy demanding process, but also represents a significant portion of the economic and nutritional value of dairy products. First described over one and a half centuries ago, diet-induced milk fat...
