Background: One of the adulterant practice in dairy industry is the use of a less costly type of milk such as cow and goat milk instead of more expensive ones especially sheep milk. The aim of the present study was to assess fraud identification of undeclared milk species in composition of sheep yogurt and cheese offered as “pure sheep” in Iranian local markets. Methods: Samples ...

We studied the effects of goat and cow milk fat on the digestive utilization of this nutrient and on some of the biochemical parameters that are related to the metabolisim of lipids, using rats with a resection of 50% of the distal small intestine and control animals (transected). The fat content in all the diets was 10% but the lipid quality was varied: the standard diet was based on olive oil...

PAVLOVIĆ H., HARDI J., SLAČANAC V., HALT M., KOCEVSKI D. (2006): Inhibitory effect of goat and cow milk fermented by Bifidobacterium longum on Serratia marcescens and Campylobacter jejuni. Czech J. Food Sci., 24: 164–171. This study was performed to determine the influence of fermented goat and cow milk produced by the use of Bifidobacterium longum Bb-46 on pathogenic Serratia marcescens and Ca...

When the Wisconsin dairy sheep industry got started in the mid 1990s, cheesemakers had to get accustomed to a whole new source of milk. All were familiar with cow milk and some were familiar with goat milk. However, sheep milk was much more concentrated with about twice as much fat and 40% more protein that cow or goat milk. They also found that sheep milk responded differently in the cheese ma...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and cow's milk allergy (CMA) are two common conditions that occur in infancy. This study was performed to investigate the frequency of CMA in a group of patients with GERD. METHODS Eighty-one children with signs and symptoms of GERD were enrolled in this study. All subjects received omeprazole for 4 weeks after the initial evaluation. Emp...

OBJECTIVE To compare serum concentrations of specific IgE and mean papule diameters induced in the immediate skin reactivity test with cow's milk (CM) and its fractions with results of the oral challenge test (OCT), and to establish cutoff points capable of predicting clinical reactivity to CM in patients treated at a referral service. METHODS One hundred and twenty-two children (median of 17...

PURPOSE The rate of cow's milk allergy diminishes with age. There is not enough information concerning geographical trends in persistent cow's milk allergy in children. The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of persistent cow's milk allergy in children previously diagnosed with IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA). MATERIAL/METHODS Diagnosis of cow's milk allergy was estab...

Background: It is known that Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in milk can have carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic activities especially in liver for both children and adults. The main aim of this survey was to investigate the incidence of AFM1 in human and cow milk in Kashan, Iran. Methods: A total of 42 breast milk samples were collected from a central hospital in Kashan city during 3-...

Lysozyme activity in buffalo milk in relation to the period of lactation, parity of animal, weather conditions and udder infections was studied. Effect of storage and heat processing of milk on lysozyme activity was determined. Lysozyme activity was higher in buffalo milk than in cow milk. Buffalo colostrum showed lysozyme activity 5 times of that in mature milk. Lysozyme activity in buffalo mi...
