A new method for milk sample collection and storage, based on a dried milk sampling technique, is proposed. The method includes application of a whole milk sample to a porous membrane followed by drying. One hundred whole milk samples (dried and liquid) taken on day 21 post insemination were analysed for progesterone by ELISA and results for both dried and liquid samples were well correlated (r...

Spray drying of skim milk was evaluated as a means of preserving Lactobacillus paracasei NFBC 338 and Lactobacillus salivarius UCC 118, which are human-derived strains with probiotic potential. Our initial experiments revealed that NFBC 338 is considerably more heat resistant in 20% (wt/vol) skim milk than UCC 118 is; the comparable decimal reduction times were 11.1 and 1.1 min, respectively, a...

Milk gels (acid or rennet) are used by dairy industry to produce dairy products such as yogurt and cheese. Enrichment of milk with calcium salts and heat treatment are known to produce “calcium-milk coagulum” as a new type of milk gels, due to reduction of milk protein charges through calcium binding. The combination of heat treatment and calcium addition to milk results in gel structures, but ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest possible associations between Western diet and acne. We examined data from the Nurses Health Study II to retrospectively evaluate whether intakes of dairy foods during high school were associated with physician-diagnosed severe teenage acne. METHODS We studied 47,355 women who completed questionnaires on high school diet in 1998 and physician-diagnosed seve...

Previous studies have associated higher milk intake with greater prostate cancer (PCa) incidence, but little data are available concerning milk types and the relation between milk intake and risk of fatal PCa. We investigated the association between intake of dairy products and the incidence and survival of PCa during a 28-y follow-up. We conducted a cohort study in the Physicians' Health Study...

Protein-enriched dairy powder is widely consumed to promote muscle synthesis. Recently, in Korea, elderly people have also begun consuming protein products prevent loss. However, these protein-enriched powders poor flowability and hydration properties because of the fine particles spray-dried milk powder. Therefore, this study, fluidized bed agglomeration process was used solve problems. The rh...

With a view to extending the shelf-life and enhancing the safety of liquid whole egg/skim milk (LWE-SM) mixed beverages, a study was conducted with Bacillus cereus vegetative cells inoculated in skim milk (SM) and LWE-SM beverages, with or without antimicrobial cocoa powder. The beverages were treated with Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology and then stored at 5 degrees C for 15 days. The ki...
