The purpose of this study was to determine the consumption of dairy and dairy alternatives and the perceptions of dairy in college students enrolled at a Northeast Ohio state university. It was expected that dairy and dairy alternative consumption would be greater in males, students living off campus, and graduate students. It was also expected that there would be a difference in the perceptions of dairy between groups. An online questionnaire was completed by students enrolled in courses at Kent State University participants (n=247). Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographics, consumption of dairy and dairy alternatives, and perceptions of dairy. T-tests were used to analyze differences in the consumption of dairy and dairy alternatives and the perceptions of dairy between gender, living situation, and academic status groups. A p- value of 0.05 was selected a priori for statistical significance. There were no significant differences in consumption of dairy and dairy alternatives in gender, living situation, and academic status groups. There were some perceptions that were significantly different in gender and living situation groups; however, there were no significant differences in perceptions in academic status groups. This study demonstrated that college students are consuming dairy, but not enough to meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010. Dairy alternatives are not replacing dairy in college students as demonstrated by this study. Gender is the most influential factor in the perceptions and misconceptions of dairy, especially in females. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Natalie Caine-Bish for spending so much time with me on my research journey. I appreciate all the advice, support, and encouragement that she provided to me throughout my education at Kent State University and throughout my research. I also appreciate her confidence in me; she believed in me when I did not believe in myself during my research. I would also like to thank my committee members, Tanya Falcone and Dr. Eun- Jeong Ha, for taking time out of their busy schedules to review my work and provide feedback for the development of a stronger thesis. I appreciate all of the advice and encouragement that they provided to me throughout my research and education while at Kent State University. Institutional Research at Kent State University, particularly Valerie Samuel, was integral in helping me obtain a random sample of Kent State University students to complete my research. I appreciate the time that you spent helping me obtain the parameters of subjects that were needed for my research. I would also like to express my gratitude to Edward Bolden at the Research and Evaluation Bureau for analyzing my data and helping me interpret the results. I also appreciate your patience as I asked for changes in some of the data. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the Kent State University students that volunteered their time to complete my survey. I truly appreciate the fact that you helped me out, as a fellow student, on my research journey. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... iv LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................... viii CHAPTER I.

Tagatose, Litesse ultra and polydextrose (as prebiotics) were used in ice cream production and mixtures and these mixtures were inoculated with Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium longum combined culture. Frozen raspberry fruits, commercial raspberry and blackberry fruit purees were used as taste flavor enhancers in synbiotic ice cream. Four different ice cream types were produced including control sample. Probiotic bacteria viability, apparent viscosity, hardness and sensory properties were examined during the 120-day- storage. It was determined that frozen fruit and fruit purees addition and using prebiotics significantly affected the Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium spp. viability and color, appearance, flavor, taste and overall sensory scores of the synbiotic goat’s milk ice creams (P < 0.05). Synbiotic ice cream samples maintained their probiotic properties during storage and were generally well appreciated in terms of sensory properties. Keywords: goat’s milk; ice cream; prebiotics; probiotic viability; synbiotics. Practical Application: In this study, ice cream production with functional properties has been developed by using goat’s milk. Within the scope of the study, probiotic cultures that were used less in probiotic products were tried and ice creams were enriched with fruit and fruit purees.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different seasons on the variations of raw milk composition. To do so different samples of raw milk were taken during summer and winter from Qazvin province and their physicochemical properties including the contents of fat protein and sugar as well as microbial load were examined. The results showed that summer milk had significantly higher total solids (TS) and better microbial quality as compared to winter milk. Key words: Season, chemical component, milk _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION milk has long been recognized as an valuable food of pastoralist diets in all the world, also it is a nutrient food and is recognized to contribute a high proportion of the nutrients, such as micronutrients, incloude calcium, phosphorus, vitamins like B and D, high quality protein such as casein protein, also fatty acid composition of milk fat has relation to its potential health benefit and impact on the human health (Frelich et al ., 2012).

Accepted - Prihvaćeno: 23.10.2015 Abstract Milk, an essential source of offspring nourishment, varies in it’s composition and properties significantly across species. In human nutrition, fresh milk and dairy products are valuable sources of protein, fat and energy, and are an important part of daily meals. Most of the world’s milk produc- tion (85 %) comes from cows followed by buffaloes, goats, ewes, mares and donkeys. However milk related food allergies in infants may be a reason for health problems and may cause a decrease in milk. The objective of this paper was to give an overview of the overall composition of milk and fat from different species in comparison to women milk. Regarding the overall milk composition remarkable differences in energy content, fat, lactose, protein and ash of the various milks were found, but also some similarities among milk from ruminants and non-ruminants were detected. The structures of fat globule membranes were similar among non-ruminants and women milk, while the milk fat glob- ule structure in ruminants differed significantly. The size of fat globules was significantly different between species and highly correlated to the milk fat content, regardless of the specie.

In order to improve the viability of probiotic bacteria, initial studies were undertaken to determine the existing levels of probiotic bacteria present in fennented frozen dairy desserts. Samples of yogurt frozen on stick (with 18% overmn) and in cups (with 100% overmn) were directly received from a manufacturer and were analysed for the viable populations of L. acidophilus, Bifidobacterium spp, S. thermophillus and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. The populations of the two probiotic organisms were very low (<10 cfu/g) even in the freshly frozen products. Viability of yogurt bacteria (5". thermophilus and L. delbruekii ssp. bulgaricus) and probiotic bacteria (L. acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp.) were assessed in several fennented frozen dairy dessert preparations obtained directly from commercial manufacturers. The counts of the four groups of organisms were monitored for 12 weeks storage at -18°C. The counts were found to be poor, especially in the case of L. acidophilus and bifidobacteria.
