  • Packaging of Dairy Products - II
    Paper no.: 12 Paper Title: Food Packaging Technology Module-19: Packaging of Dairy Products - II 19.1 Introduction In this module, we will discuss regarding the packaging of butter, ghee, cheese and milk powder. Butter and ghee contains a high percentage of fat, so they are very susceptible to spoilage. So packaging material used should be selected in such a way that it possesses good grease resistance, and barrier properties against oxygen and moisture. Cheese is fermented dairy product, having low pH and comparative higher moisture content while milk powder is dried product, containing very low moisture. 19.2 Butter It consists primarily of about 80% milk fat, 16% moisture and in table butter up to 3% common salt. Because of high moisture content butter is susceptible to mold growth and lypolytic rancidity 19.2.1 Characteristics of Butter 1. Due to high moisture content butter unlike solid fats is susceptible to mold growth. 2. Flavour and odour are easily absorbed by butter from its environment. 3. Deterioration of the butter may take place due to rancidity. 4. Butter has tendency to lose Moisture. 19.2.2 Requirement of Packaging: 1. Non toxic, not harmful to consumer’s health. 2. It should be grease/moisture proof. 3. Shall be barrier for Oxygen. 4. Low metallic content as metals favor oxidation of fat. 5. Shall not transmit light. 19.2.3 Packaging Material In India, butter is packed in bulk as well as in retail packages. For bulk packaging, there is no standard method, and generally polyethylene bags/parchment paper along with corrugated boxes are used.

  • What Is A2 Protein Milk?
    For Healthcare Professional use only What is A2 protein milk? Cow’s milk contains protein composed of whey (20%) 80% alpha-S1 casein beta-casein and casein (80%). Of the Casein casein protein, there are Proteins alpha-S2 casein k-casein different types (alpha, beta, kappa casein)1,2 and of the beta-casein, there are b-lactoglobulin a-lactoglobulin several types’ with A1 and 20% A2 beta-casein being the Whey Immunoglobulin Serum albumin most prevalent3 Proteins Lactoperoxidase Lactoferrin Where did A2 protein milk come from? Cows can produce milk that is only A1 or only A2 beta-casein, but most cows produce a mixture of A1 and A2 beta-casein in their milk4 A2 protein milk is simply milk that comes from cows that only produce A2 beta-casein. These cows are carefully selected and DNA tested to ensure that they are only A2 beta-casein producers What makes A2 protein milk different?

At this distance it takes about three full days for astronauts to travel from the Earth’s surface to land on the moon. Because it is Earth’s closest neighbor, we have been able to gain more knowledge about it than any other body in the Solar System besides the Earth. The moon is also the brightest object in the night sky. Today, astronomers know that the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth. But at the rate it is traveling, about 1.5 inches per year, it will be lighting up our night sky for a long time.

  • Casein Proteins As a Vehicle to Deliver Vitamin D3
    Casein Proteins as a Vehicle to Deliver Vitamin D3: Fortification of Dairy Products with vitamin D3 and Bioavailability of Vitamin D3 from Fortified Mozzarella Cheese Baked with Pizza by Banaz Al-khalidi A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Nutritional Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Banaz Al-khalidi (2012) Casein proteins as a vehicle to deliver vitamin D3: Fortification of dairy products with vitamin D3 and Bioavailability of vitamin D3 from fortified Mozzarella cheese baked with pizza Banaz Al-khalidi Master of Science Department of Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT Current vitamin D intakes in Canada are inadequate. The extension of vitamin D fortification to additional foods may be an effective and appropriate strategy for increasing vitamin D intakes in the general population. Cheese is potentially an ideal candidate for vitamin D fortification. We introduce the potential use of casein proteins as a vehicle for vitamin D3 fortification in industrially made cheeses where we found that over 90% of vitamin D3 added to milk was retained in both Cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses. Use of casein proteins for vitamin D3 fortification did not fully prevent vitamin D3 loss into whey. However the loss was minimized to approximately 8%. We then show that vitamin D3 is bioavailable from fortified Mozzarella cheese baked with pizza suggesting that the high temperature baking process does not significantly breakdown vitamin D3. Our findings could have important implications in increasing fortified food options for Canadians. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................................

  • TITLE of STUDY Milk Allergy Is a Very Common Problem in Children. Milk
    TITLE OF STUDY Milk Desensitization and Induction of Tolerance in Children Milk Allergy is a very common problem in children. Milk-induced symptoms effect up-to 20% of children, with detrimental effects on nutrition during critical periods of growth. Moreover, approximately 2-5% of children make IgE antibodies against cow’s milk, which are responsible for severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Milk is the second most common food causing life-threatening anaphylaxis in North America and Europe, and the most common food to cause life- threatening symptoms world-wide. Due to the ubiquitous nature of dairy products in our diet, milk is extremely difficult to avoid. Treatment of milk allergy is currently based on strict avoidance, and patients must carry injectable adrenalin (e.g. Epipen). Our study will assess a novel and potentially life-changing therapy, by actively treating milk allergy with Oral Immunotherapy. This may allow patients to safely consume dairy products. Treatment with oral-immunotherapy has been piloted in the USA and Europe, but there is no current research into milk- immunotherapy in Canada, depriving our population of a potential cure for this very common problem. We propose to perform a well-defined clinical study, using proper control groups and immunological measures to properly understand the ideal patients and the safest and most efficacious methodologies. If successful, this study will clearly increase the margin of safety for children and young adults who suffer from life-threatening milk allergy. It can also increase the consumption of dairy products within this population, providing nutritional benefits including improved bone mineralization and growth.
