Narratives of Kumis Consumption and Production in Contemporary Kazakhstan Взгляды На Потребление И Изго NARRATIVES OF KUMIS CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION IN CONTEMPORARY KAZAKHSTAN ВЗГЛЯДЫ НА ПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ И ИЗГОТОВЛЕНИЕ КУМЫСА В СОВРЕМЕННОМ КАЗАХСТАНЕ ҚАЗІРГІ ҚАЗАҚСТАНДА ҚЫМЫЗ ТҰТЫНУҒА ЖӘНЕ ДАЙЫНДАУҒА КӨЗҚАРАС by Sandra Real A Thesis Submitted to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of Nazarbayev University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Eurasian Studies at NAZARBAYEV UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE NUR-SULTAN, KAZAKHSTAN 2019 ii iii © 2019 Sandra Real All Rights Reserved iv Abstract Kumis, a beverage made with fermented mare´s milk, is a part of national cuisine, symbol of health, and unique cultural identity in modern Kazakhstan. It is also a part of the traditional cycle of horse husbandry and the modern small business production that thrives in the countryside around big cities. In my study, based on the in-person and online survey of kumis consumers and on in-depth interviews with kumis producers in the two major cities of Kazakhstan, Astana and Almaty, I explore the dynamics of kumis supply chain and customer behavior and discuss how modern- day city dwellers make choices about kumis consumption while imagining the landscape, seasonality, and “natural-ness” of kumis production. Keywords: kumis, urban Kazakhstan, mare´s milk, customer behavior v Acknowledgement I want to thank my advisers Dr. Alima Bissenova and Ms. Christina Pugh for their feedback, guidance, and encouragement to develop this project and for their advices during the process of document writing. I am also thankful to my peers from the Eurasian Studies program in making me feel welcome in Kazakhstan, showing me the beauty of Kazakh culture, and assisting me with interpreting when my Russian and Kazakh speaking skills were very limited. I dedicate this thesis to my family, who were my emotional support in my Master´s degree adventure, to the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Mexico for introducing me to the wonders of Kazakh language, traditions, and legacy, and to Kazakhstan for giving me the awesome opportunity to receive high-quality education in the heart of Eurasia. vi Table of contents Introduction ................................................................................................................ 1 Methodology .............................................................................................................. 5 Schedule ................................................................................................................. 6 Chapter 1.

However, reducing cost while improving nutritional value and Revised: 10-03-2021 flavour is a classic problem in milk production. Besides, consumers have Accepted: 19-03-2021 increased demand for natural foods and beverages with high nutritional value, health and rich taste. All of this has spawned a growing academic Email: [email protected] interest in using different types of milk to replace raw cow's milk in recent years. In this research, drinkable fermented milk products from goat's milk with different starters were studied. The aim of this study was to describe and compare Fatty Acid (FA) profiles of ayran from goat milk produced by Saanen breeds. The microbiological, chemical (pH, lactic acid, total solids, protein), rheological and sensory properties of ayran samples were investigated during a 10-day storage period. This study found that both samples (Micromilk and Sacco) have little difference in the basic content and chemical composition of selected physical characteristics according to the instrumental and organoleptic evaluation results. However, although the first starter culture (Micromilk) sample had the highest overall evaluation score, the second sample (Sacco) had a tighter clot and shorter fermentation duration. Also, it was found that during storage of the concentrations of lactic acid microorganisms in fermented beverages, the type of sourdough was insignificant.

  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Koumiss produced from different types of milk (horse, cow and goat milk) by traditional koumiss yeast and Koumiss observe the changes of aroma components and biogenic amines Yeast formations during the storage period (30 days) are presented in Biogenic amine this work. Aroma Materials and methods. Mare milk was used directly but the Carbonyl composition of cow and goat milk is different from that of mare milk, the compositions of these milk were used in the production of koumiss by emulating mare milk. Koumiss were produced with traditional yeast. Biogenic amine analysed with high performance liquid chromatography and aroma components was determined by Article history: headspace-gas chromatography. Results and discussion. The lactic acidity value (%) has Received gradually increased during the storage period of koumiss samples. 29.08.2019 The highest amount of ethyl alcohol was determined in koumiss Received in (30th day) produced from cow milk (1.95%). Among the biogenic revised form amines, the value of putrescine was found to be highest in 27.09.2019 koumiss produced from goat milk (5.68–5.86 ppm), while the Accepted cadaverine value was observed to reach to the highest values 28.11.2019 (2.66–9.74 ppm) in koumiss produced from horse milk.

  • Study on Physicochemical Characteristics of Mares Milk
    Seminar about: Study on physicochemical characteristics of mares milk By Mrwa Tahir Ahmed Taha Supervisor : Dr. Mohamed Osman Mohamed Abdalla Sudan is an agricultural country characterized by variations in climatic and animal resources Recent statistics estimated the Sudanese equines’ population as 260,000 horses and 730,000 donkey (FAO, 2000). Bovine milk the most commonly consumed type of milk. Also milk production is highest for buffalo milk (11%), followed by goat (2.3%), sheep (1.4%) and camel milk (0.2%) (Gerosa and Skoet, 2012). Horses and donkeys and yaks, no world statistics are available, but their contribution to the global milk production is less than 0.1 (Faye and Konuspayeva, 2012 Milk composition and quality in mammalian species affect by : • Genetic • Physiological • Nutritional • Environmental (Malacarne et al., 2002) Mare milk, besides its role for foals, is also used in human nutrition, mainly in eastern Asia, in the last years there has been an increasing interest in it as food in Europe, mainly Germany, France, Italy and also in Scandinavia (Malacarne et al., 2002). Mare milk has important nutritional and therapeutic properties that can benefit the diet of the elderly, newborn. because it contains a high lactase it has sweet taste. the taste is very gentle, high watery and less casein in comparison with cow as a result of which it is better digestible (Rad et al., 2013 . mare’s milk could be used instead of cow milk in allergic children (Businco et al., 2000). And a number of cosmetic, but also some therapeutic properties (e.g. for treating metabolic, gastrointestinal and liver problems, and cancer) (Claeys et al., 2014) 1.
