The disruption of the milk fat globule membrane can lead to an excessive accumulation of free fatty acids in milk, which is frequently associated with the appearance of rancid flavors. Solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography techniques have been shown to be useful tools in the quantification of individual free fatty acids in dairy products providing enough sensitivity to detect level...

To detect milk proteins, reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) (Waters 2695 Series chromatograph, USA) was successfully performed to separate and quantify the major proteins from cow (n = 20), goat (n = 20), buffalo (n = 20) and yak (n = 20) milk which were collected around the fourth month of lactation for each species from February to April 2013 within 30 min. Descri...

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...

This study was conducted to evaluate the yield and quality parameters of milk from 60 indigenous South African goats of different genotypes namely Nguni, Boer and Nondescript reared under a free ranging system. Milk yield and quality parameters (milk fat, protein, lactose, solid non-fat and minerals) from Nguni (10), Boer (10) and Non-descript (10) goats was measured and analysed per week at ea...

OBJECTIVE This experiment was studied the effects of various levels of crude glycerin (CG) in dairy goat diet on daily intake, milk yield, milk composition, some physical properties and some quality changes of goat milk after sterilization. METHODS Twelve 75% Saanen dairy goats (body weight = 49±3 kg; days in milk = 60±12 d) were randomly assigned in a completely randomized design to evaluate...

Antibody detection-based tests for paratuberculosis offer speed and economy, 2 diagnostic test attributes important to animal industries with narrow profit margins. Application of such tests to individual milk samples instead of serum samples can further improve testing efficiency and decrease testing cost. Accuracy of a commercial bovine paratuberculosis enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELIS...

CONFLICT OF INTEREST none declared. INTRODUCTION This study was carried out to evaluate PCR-based method for detection of DNA in goat milk. It utilized primers targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome -b (mtcyt-b) gene, which was used as a target DNA for PCR amplification. METHODS For the specific identification of goat mtcyt-b gene, pair of primers (GSL1, GSR2), were used, which produced a 4...

Cheese manufacture is one of the classical examples of food preservation, dating from 6000 – 7000 BC. Cheese exploits two classical principles of food preservation, i.e. lactic acid fermentation and reduction of water activity through removal of water and addition of NaCl. Establishment of low redox potential and secretion of antibiotics by starter microorganisms contributes to the storage stab...

The aim of the study was to compare the compositions of the fecal microbiotas of infants fed goat milk formula to those of infants fed cow milk formula or breast milk as the gold standard. Pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene sequences was used in the analysis of the microbiotas in stool samples collected from 90 Australian babies (30 in each group) at 2 months of age. Beta-diversity analysis of tot...
