The goals of this study were to determine L-ascorbic acid concentrations in various milk products, and to evaluate the effect of storage time on L-ascorbic acid in milk. Commercial plain milk samples were obtained from either a raw-food market or a supermarket, in Mae Hia, Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, during July, 2008. The types of milk were separated based on fat percentage...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the health benefits of an exclusively human milk-based diet compared with a diet of both human milk and bovine milk-based products in extremely premature infants. STUDY DESIGN Infants fed their own mothers' milk were randomized to 1 of 3 study groups. Groups HM100 and HM40 received pasteurized donor human milk-based human milk fortifier when the enteral intake was 100 an...

Cattle with Johne's disease can shed live Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in their milk, and MAP can survive under simulated commercial pasteurization conditions. In several studies conducted in the United Kingdom and Canada, MAP DNA has been detected in retail pasteurized milk samples; however, in one study in the United Kingdom viable MAP was identified in commercially paste...

Introduction: Aflatoxins, known as causative factors of hepatic and extra-hepatic carcinogenesis within humans, are extremely teratogenic, mutagenic, toxic, and carcinogenic compounds. Materials & Methods: This study was undertaken to determine the occurrence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in 40 raw milk and 47 pasteurized milk samples collected during spring and winter. In order to analyze the samp...

Radon is one of the most important radioactive gases.Radon emits alpha particles and ultimately,it can cause genetic disorders.There are many reports of carcinogenesis and its harmful effects.One way to get this gas into the body is by eating and drinking.In the meantime,milk is one of the most consuming foods that can be contaminated with radon.In this study, the concentration of radon gas was...

In this study, antibiotic residues in raw milk and pasteurized milk products sold in AnkaraTurkey investigated. For this purpose; a total of 240 milk samples, which contains 10 raw and 10 pasteurized milk samples per month collected from various markets in Ankara between April 2003 and March 2004 were analyzed in terms of penicillin G, oxytetracycline, gentamicin, streptomycin and neomycin by u...

As pediatricians and professors dedicated to the prevention of childhood obesity, we were disappointed by the March 2015 American Academy of Pediatrics’ Policy Statement on “Snacks, Sweetened Beverages, Added Sugars, and Schools.” The American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Nutrition and Council on School Health endorsed this statement, which seems to accept the trend that 70% of milk cons...

the effects of pasteurization, storage time and temperature on proteolysis of milk were evaluated. two replicates of each of raw and pasteurized milk were assigned to three temperatures (5, 16 and 25 ?c) and 3 storage periods (1, 2 and 3 day) in a 2×3×3 full factorial design. for all the samples, ph and indices of proteolysis were determined. the effect of all the three main factors (pasteuriza...

The problem of Salmonella contamination in dried foods has underscored our lack of knowledge concerning the heat resistance of enteric microorganisms in dry and semidry environments. Confectionery manufacturing is one of the food industries concerned with dry-heat destruction of Salmonella. The discovery of these organisms in several chocolate-containing products in the recent past has raised t...

background aflatoxins are one of the most potent toxic substances that occur naturally. nowadays extensive attention has been taken to their existence in food and environment, as there is the possibility of harm to humans following chronic exposure to extremely low levels via food chain. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a hepatic carcinogenic metabolite found in the milk of lactating animals fed with con...
