ABSTRACT The body condition score (BCS) of a dairy cow is an assessment of the proportion of body fat that it possesses, and it is recognized by animal scientists and producers as being an important factor in dairy cattle management. The scale used to measure BCS differs between ...
Microstructural changes in casein supramolecules during acidification of skim milk
Dec 01, 2009; McMahon, D J; Du, H; McManus, W R; Larsen, K M ... ABSTRACT Pasteurized skim milk was acidified using different levels of glucono-δ-lactone at 10, 20, 30, and 40°C to give slow, medium, and fast rates of acidification. Milk coagulation was monitored by measuring turbidity and curd firmness, and microstructural changes during ...
Invited review: The use of distillers products in dairy cattle diets

ABSTRACT Distillers grains with solubles (DGS) is the major coproduct of ethanol production, usually made from corn, which is fed to dairy cattle. It is a good protein (crude protein, CP) source (>30% CP) high in ruminally undegradable protein (~55% of CP) and is a good energy source ...
A high-throughput cheese manufacturing model for effective cheese starter culture screening
Dec 01, 2009; Bachmann, H; Kruijswijk, Z; Molenaar, D; Kleerebezem, M; Vlieg, J E T van Hylckama ... ABSTRACT Cheese making is a process in which enzymatic coagulation of milk is followed by protein separation, carbohydrate removal, and an extended bacterial fermentation. The number of variables in this complex process that influence cheese quality is so large that the developments of ...
Comparison of two methods to explore consumer preferences for cottage cheese
Dec 01, 2009; Drake, S L; Lopetcharat, K; Drake, M A ... ABSTRACT In the past 2 decades, total sales of cottage cheese have declined 17% despite increases in sales for low-fat cottage cheese. There are no recent published studies investigating consumer preferences for cottage cheese. This study was conducted to identify and define sensory ...
Physicochemical, microbial, and sensory properties of yogurt supplemented with nanopowdered chitosan during storage

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to determine the possibility of adding nanopowdered chitosan (NPC) into cholesterol-reduced yogurt to improve the functionality of yogurt and the effects of adding NPC on the physicochemical, microbial, and sensory properties of the products during ...
Short communication: Detection of human Torque teno virus in the milk of water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
Dec 01, 2009; Roperto, S; Paciello, O; Paolini, F; Pagnini, U; Palma, E; Palo, R Di; Russo, V; Roperto, F ... ABSTRACT Forty-four raw milk and 15 serum samples from 44 healthy water buffaloes reared in Caserta, southern Italy, the most important region in Europe for buffalo breeding, were examined to evaluate the presence of Torque teno viruses (TTV) using molecular tools. Furthermore, 8 pooled ...
The effect of bleaching agent on the flavor of liquid whey and whey protein concentrate
Dec 01, 2009; Croissant, A E; Kang, E J; Campbell, R E; Bastian, E; Drake, M A ... ABSTRACT The increasing use and demand for whey protein as an ingredient requires a bland-tasting, neutral-colored final product. The bleaching of colored Cheddar whey is necessary to achieve this goal. Currently, hydrogen peroxide (HP) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) are utilized for ...
Short communication: Evaluation of supercritical fluid extraction aids for optimum extraction of nonpolar lipids from buttermilk powder
Dec 01, 2009; Spence, A J; Jimenez-Flores, R; Qian, M; Goddik, L ... ABSTRACT The milk fat globule membrane, present in buttermilk, contains complex lipids such as phospholipids. Microfiltration coupled with supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) may provide a method of enriching these nutritionally valuable lipids into a novel ingredient. Therefore, SFE as ...
