The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of storage under various conditions on the concentrations of major bovine acute phase protein-serum amyloid A, and its mammary isoform. Blood samples were taken from seven clinically healthy calves, and milk samples from six clinically healthy dairy cows. The harvested blood serum and the milk samples were fractioned into aliquots. One aliq...

__________________________________________________________________________________ Received at: 29/9/2012 Accepted: 22/10/2012 The primary purpose of this research was to monitor the influence of fennel honey addition to raw, pasteurized milk and Zabadi baladi on survival of the microbial flora during refrigerated storage in order to expend their viability date. Results showed that addition of ...

Freezing and long-term frozen storage had minimal impact on the rheology and proteolysis of soft cheese made from caprine milk. Plain soft cheeses were obtained from a grade A goat dairy in Georgia and received 4 storage treatments: fresh refrigerated control (C), aged at 4 degrees C for 28 d; frozen control (FC), stored at -20 degrees C for 2 d before being thawed and aged in the same way as C...

introduction: the interest in probiotic products have been increased recently by the consumers. milk and dairy products are natural sources of b group vitamins in the human diet. this study was carried out in order to investigate the level of riboflavin (vitamin b2) and niacin (vitamin b3) in probiotic yogurt and the results were compared with the traditional yogurt during refrigerated storage....

the effects of allium sativum on yogurt formation and subsequent storage (4°c, up to 28 days) on proteolysis, microbial activity, and inhibition of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and angiotensin-i converting enzymes were investigated in vitro. allium sativum yogurt showed higher rates of ph reduction and increment of titrable acid than control during the incubation at 41°c. highest proteolysis was ob...

Lactic acid concentrations increased in refrigerated and freeze-thawed anaerobically stored ground beef. Bacterial counts were higher in refrigerated samples, but the ratios of gram-positive bacteria in refrigerated and freeze-thawed samples were the same. No differences in appearance or odor between refrigerated and freeze-thawed samples were noted after 2 days of aerobic storage. Initial lact...

Extended shelf-life (ESL) or ultra-pasteurized milk is produced by thermal processing using conditions between those used for traditional high-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurization and those used for ultra-high-temperature (UHT) sterilization. It should have a refrigerated shelf-life of more than 30 days. To achieve this, the thermal processing has to be quite intense. The challenge is ...
