Physico-Chemical And Microbiological Quality Changes In Cocoa And Whey Protein Enriched Functional Dairy Drink During Storage, H. R. Gupta, S. K. Kanawjia, M. K. Salooja, Prateek Sharma, Anil Kumar May 2017

Physico-Chemical And Microbiological Quality Changes In Cocoa And Whey Protein Enriched Functional Dairy Drink During Storage, H. R. Gupta, S. K. Kanawjia, M. K. Salooja, Prateek Sharma, Anil Kumar

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

Cocoa and whey protein enriched functional dairy drink was subjected to storage studies at refrigeration temperature 4±1°C in the present study. The samples were studied for microbial and physicochemical tests during storage. The results in this study suggest that the product can be stored upto 18 days at 4±1°C. A decrease in pH from 7.01 to 6.49 for whey protein enriched product and from 6.94 to 6.41 in case of cocoa & whey protein enriched product was observed at the end of shelf life. The FFA increased from 0.72 to 1.46 meq./ml at the end of shelf life of 18 …


Storage Induced Changes In Sensory Characteristics And Viscosity Of Cocoa And Whey Protein Enriched Functional Dairy Drink, H. R. Gupta, S. K. Kanawjia, M. K. Saluja, Prateek Sharma Mar 2017

Storage Induced Changes In Sensory Characteristics And Viscosity Of Cocoa And Whey Protein Enriched Functional Dairy Drink, H. R. Gupta, S. K. Kanawjia, M. K. Saluja, Prateek Sharma

The functional dairy drink product developed in the present study was packaged in LDPE pouches stored at refrigeration temperature 4±1°C. The results of storage studies depict that the product can be stored upto 18 days at 4±1°C without significantly affecting its sensory qualities. Overall acceptability scores decreased from initial 93.0 to 69.2 after 18 days of storage at 4±1°C for the drink enriched with whey protein; for the drink enriched with whey protein and cocoa, the scores decreased from 93.4 to 72.4. The consistency score of the product decreased from 27.5 to 19.5 for whey protein enhanced drink and from …


Lactose Intolerance: An Overview Of The Facts And Their Implications, Noelle M. Yeo Mar 2017

Lactose Intolerance: An Overview Of The Facts And Their Implications, Noelle M. Yeo

Honors Theses

Lactose intolerance is often blamed for the symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal pain, and nausea, that ail many people. Patients often do not seek proper diagnosis from a physician and create their own treatment plans, severely restricting lactose intake, without professional guidance. Even those who do seek the care of a physician find that diagnosis is complicated by less-than ideal testing and confusion due to the symptoms common to many other conditions. The misconceptions and inability to confirm a diagnosis of lactose intolerance can cause nutrient deficiencies in these patients, as well as begin a pattern of unnecessary …


Detection Of High Levels Of Somatic Cells In Milk On Farms Equippedwith An Automatic Milking System By Decision Trees Technique, Beata Sitkowska, Dariusz Piwczynski, Joanna Aerts, Magdalena Kolenda, Serkan Özkaya Jan 2017

Detection Of High Levels Of Somatic Cells In Milk On Farms Equippedwith An Automatic Milking System By Decision Trees Technique, Beata Sitkowska, Dariusz Piwczynski, Joanna Aerts, Magdalena Kolenda, Serkan Özkaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The purpose of the study was to use decision trees to predict increased levels of somatic cells in cow's milk. The material for the study comprised data collected in 2012-2014 from five farms in Poland equipped with an automatic milking system. Data on 803 Polish Holstein-Friesian cows were collected. In order to predict somatic cell count data mining techniques were used to build a graphical model of a decision tree. This study found that the most important factors to anticipate an elevated somatic cell count in cow's milk are milk conductivity, lactation stage, and lactation (primiparous and multiparous cow groups), …


Evidence Of Foot-And-Mouth Disease Virus Excretion In The Milk Ofapparently Healthy Vaccinated Buffaloes In Islamabad, Pakistan, Hafiziftikhar Ahmed, Umer Farooq, Aamer Bin Zahur, Khalid Naeem, Asma Latif, Hamid Irshad Jan 2017

Evidence Of Foot-And-Mouth Disease Virus Excretion In The Milk Ofapparently Healthy Vaccinated Buffaloes In Islamabad, Pakistan, Hafiziftikhar Ahmed, Umer Farooq, Aamer Bin Zahur, Khalid Naeem, Asma Latif, Hamid Irshad

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of the study was to determine the seroprevalence of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and isolation of the FMD virus (FMDV) in the milk of apparently healthy Asian buffaloes. A cross-sectional study was conducted in periurban dairy farms (n = 20) on ≥20 animals per farm in the suburbs of Islamabad, Pakistan. Sera samples (n = 200) were collected to monitor FMDV seroconversions. The analysis of serum samples using ELISA indicated a high seroprevalence of FMD (78%; 156/200) in Asian buffaloes. Milk samples were collected from FMDV seropositive animals only, and virus-specific signals were detected in 12.2% (19/156) of the …
