不同贮藏温度对UHT乳品质的影响

UHT乳作为一种经超高温瞬时灭菌、无菌灌装生产的长货架期液态乳,具有品质优良,饮用方便等优点.但是在贮藏过程中,UHT乳经常会因残留酶或微生物作用而产生蛋白质凝块、沉淀或脂肪上浮等缺陷,从而影响UHT乳的品质.本研究通过UHT中试生产线无菌灌装制备PET瓶装UHT乳,将其分别置于7,25,37℃下保温观察,定期测定色泽、酪蛋白胶体粒径、蛋白质水解度及理化指标等变化.结果表明,贮藏过程中UHT乳发生的主要反应为蛋白质水解、脂质氧化和美拉德反应,UHT乳的pH值、游离钙离子含量和酪蛋白胶体粒径呈下降趋势,b＊值、蛋白水解度、脂质氧化程度呈上升趋势.120 d保温试验结束后,除37℃贮藏下的UHT乳色泽从第90 d开始发生明显变化外,各UHT乳样品并未产生明显的脂肪上浮和蛋白沉淀等现象.

Comparison of isolation methods using commercially available kits for obtaining extracellular vesicles from cow milk

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are important for delivering biologically active substances to facilitate cell-to-cell communication. Milk-derived EV are widely known because of their potential for immune enhancement. However, procedures for isolating milk-derived EV have not been fully established. To obtain pure milk-derived EV and accurately reveal their function, such procedures must be established. The aim of the present study was to compare methods using commercially available kits for isolating milk-derived EV. Initially, we investigated procedures to remove casein, which is the major obstacle in determining milk-derived EV purity. We separated whey using centrifugation only, acetic acid precipitation, and EDTA precipitation. Then, we isolated milk-derived EV by ultracentrifugation, membrane affinity column, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), polymer-based isolation, or phosphatidylserine-affinity isolation. Using EV count per milligram of protein, which is a good indicator of purity, we determined that acetic acid precipitation was the best method for removing casein. Using nanoparticle tracking analysis, protein quantity analysis, and RNA quantity analysis, we comprehensively compared each isolation method for its purity and yield. We found that SEC-based qEV column (Izon Science) could collect purer milk-derived EV at higher quantities. Thus, a combination of acetic acid precipitation and qEV can effectively isolate high amounts of pure extracellular vesicles from bovine milk.     

The effect of fertilizer nitrogen input to grass-clover swards and calving date on the productivity of pasture-based dairy production

The objective of this systems-scale study was to investigate grazing season timeframes on pasture and milk production and on milk processability of dairy systems with compact spring-calving dairy cows grazing white clover (Trifolium repens L.) based grassland. Fifty-four primiparous and multiparous Holstein-Friesian dairy cows were used in a one-factor study with 3 systems (n = 18) and repeated over 2 yr (2008/09 and 2009/10). The 3 systems were: early spring calving with annual fertilizer N input of 100 kg·ha^?1 applied in spring (ES100N; 2.1 cows·ha^?1; grazing February to November), early spring calving without fertilizer N (ES0N; 1.6 cows·ha^?1; grazing February to November) and late spring calving without fertilizer N (LS0N; 1.53 cows·ha^?1; grazing April to January). Annual pasture production was affected by an interaction between grazing system and year: Mean annual pasture yields for 2008 and 2009 were ES100N; 10.35 and 9.88, ES0N; 8.88 and 8.63, LS0N; 9.18 and 10.31 t of dry matter (DM)·ha^?1 (SEM 0.39). LS0N had higher pasture DM yield in 2009 due to higher clover DM production and biological N fixation compared with the other systems. Clover stolon and root mass in the following February was correlated with stolon and root mass in the previous November with 64% of stolon mass present on LS0N in February (R² = 0.84). There were no detectable differences in per-lactation milk yield (6,335 kg·cow^?1), fat, protein and lactose yields (271, 226, 297 kg·cow^?1, respectively), cow liveweight (585 kg) or body condition score (3.02). Although winter grazing favored subsequent clover DM production, biological N fixation and pasture DM production, delaying calving date in spring and extending lactation into the following winter led to inefficient use of this pasture by the grazing herd and lowered the quality of late-lactation milk for processing purposes. Hence, a mean calving date in mid- to late-February is recommended for zero-fertilizer N input clover-based grassland.     

Influence of konjac flour on foaming properties of milk protein concentrate and quality characteristics of gluten‐free cookie

The effects of konjac flour (KF) for modifying the foaming properties of milk protein concentrate (MPC) and characteristics of gluten‐free rice cookies were investigated. The three variables of konjac concentration (0.1–0.4%), pH (pH 5–9) and NaCl concentration (0.2–0.6 м) were studied. Both KF and pH had considerable effects on the foaming capacity (FC) and foaming stability (FS) of MPC. The NaCl had a negligible effect. Lowered FC and FS observed at pH 9 and pH 5 were increased with the increase in KF addition. Batter characteristics (flowability and consistency), cookie quality (moisture, yield, spread ratio, specific volume, hardness and colour) and sensory acceptance were evaluated in gluten‐free cookies with 0%, 0.25% and 0.4% KF. Konjac supplementation increased batter characteristics, yield, specific volume and hardness, but decreased lightness. Panellist acceptance, especially regarding texture and overall acceptability, increased in gluten‐free cookies with 0.4% KF. A higher purchasing decision was found for cookies with added KF.
