In this study measurements of color parameters of UHT milk were performed, by using a MOM-color 100 photoelectric tristimulus colorimeter. Colors of UHT milk samples containing 3.2% and 1.6% milk fat, processed under industrial conditions, packed in polyethylene terephtalate (PET) based packages, and stored for 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 days at ambient temperature (20±5°C) were examined. Results...

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...

The Madras Act has also standardized the value of proteins of the cow milk as nitrogen at 0.5 per cent and that of dirt in it at 5 per 100,000 by volume. It may be remembered here that the standards fixed in England by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries by their Sale of Milk Regulation, 1901, are 3 per cent for milk and 8.5 per cent for milk solids other than milk fat. So the standard pr...

BACKGROUND There is growing interest in the fatty acid composition of breast milk and substitute formulas used to replace or complement infant breastfeeding. AIM The aims of this study were to assess the impact of two follow-up infant formulas based on cow milk fat, vegetable oils and different docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (ARA) acid content on red blood cell membrane fatty acid comp...

OBJECTIVE The physiological challenges of high altitude have led to population-specific patterns of adaptation. These include alterations to child growth and reproduction, including lactation. However, while breastfeeding has been investigated, nothing is known about milk composition in high altitude adapted populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here, we investigate milk macronutrient compositio...

This study was designed to elaborate the hygienic status of milk supplied to educational institutions (EI) and public places (PP) in the Faisalabad. A total of sixty samples were collected from the different location and were processed for determination of adulterants, chemical composition and hygienic condition. The results indicated that water was added to 97% and 93% samples from EI and PP r...
