Effect Of Heating To 200 C On Casein Micelles In Milk: A Metal Shadowing And Negative Staining Electron Microscope Study, V. R. Harwalkar, Paula Allan-Wojtas, Miloslav Kalab Jan 1989

Effect Of Heating To 200 C On Casein Micelles In Milk: A Metal Shadowing And Negative Staining Electron Microscope Study, V. R. Harwalkar, Paula Allan-Wojtas, Miloslav Kalab

Food Structure

Milk was heated to 200 C for 3 min in sealed inverted-Y-shaped glass vials and reacted with a glutaraldehyde solution at that temperature. Electron microscopy of the metal-shadowed and negatively stained samples revealed that casein micelles in the milk did not disintegrate extensively at the high-temperature used but, rather, became enlarged. Some of them were found to be either clustered or distorted.


Rheology And Microstructure Of Strained Yoghurt (Labneh) Made From Cow's Milk By Three Different Methods, A. Y. Tamime, M. Kalab, G. Davies Jan 1989

Rheology And Microstructure Of Strained Yoghurt (Labneh) Made From Cow's Milk By Three Different Methods, A. Y. Tamime, M. Kalab, G. Davies

Food Structure

Labneh is the name for strained yoghurt, i.e., yoghurt made with an elevated solids content, which has originated in the Middle East. For this study , three types of Labneh were made from cow' s milk: (a) "Traditional Labneh" was produced by straining yoghurt in a cloth bag, (b) "UF Labneh" was made by ultrafiltration of warm yoghurt , and , (c) "UF Retentate Labneh" was obtained by culturing homogenised ultrafiltration (UF) milk retentate. A 11 products were passed through a lactic curd homogen is er to smoothen the Labneh curd . Total solids contents of t he products were …


The Size Distribution Of Casein Micelles In Camel Milk, Z. Farah, M. W. Ruegg Jan 1989

The Size Distribution Of Casein Micelles In Camel Milk, Z. Farah, M. W. Ruegg

Food Structure

The size distribution of casein micelles in camel milk has been determined by electron microscopy. Individual and pooled samples were cryo-fixed by rapid freezing and freeze-fractured. Electron micrographs of the freeze-fracture replica revealed a relatively broad size distribution, with an average micelle dimeter around 280 nm in the volume distribution curve. The distribution was significantly broader than that of the particles of cow's or human milk and showed a greater number of large particles. The submicelles were also somewhat larger than those observed in cow's and human milk (approx. 15, 10 and 7 nm, respectively). The average values for the …
