Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bovine milk is primarily the food given to the new born infants (after a period of six month or more). It makes the bone stronger and helps in the overall growth and development of the human body. However, almost 2-6 % infants are suffering from Cow milk allergy across the globe. This highlights an important issue as "how the cow milk can be rendered safe for consumption to these allergic patients". The proteins are responsible for allergic reactions inside the immune system and hence it would be essential to study the behavior of proteins as a slight deviation in its structural form can either increase or decrease allergic reactions.The scientific community worldwide have done extensive research in understanding the effect of thermal and non-thermal processing on cow milk proteins. To date, pasteurization techniques (HTST-high temperature short time and UHT- ultra-high temperature) are used in food industries for processing of cow milk. This step is done to ensure that there are no viable microorganisms present in the milk which can cause spoilage of milk and to extend the keeping quality and shelf-life of cow milk and derived products. However, every process is associated with certain sets of pros and cons. Although the processing techniques can increase the shelf life and keeping quality, it denatures the proteins present in the milk as well. The denaturation of protein could affect the nutrient quality and might change the behavior of the protein in its functionality and hence have direct effect on the allergenicity. In this study, the effect of thermal processing (Microwave processing), non-thermal processing (Ultrasound processing) and combined thermal and non-thermal processing (thermosonication = thermal treatment at 63°C + Ultrasonication) have been analyzed on the secondary structure of Cow milk with the help of Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR studies showed that during microwave treatment, there was a decrease in [alpha]-helices with a corresponding increase in the [beta]-sheets and turns whereas for ultrasonication and thermosonication, there was an increase in the [alpha]-helices and decrease in the [beta]-sheets compared to control (raw milk sample). Ultrasonicated samples showed the highest In-vitro Protein digestibility followed by microwave and thermosonicated samples suggesting that structural changes have affected the digestibility of protein. Microbial analysis has also been carried out to observe the effects of non-thermal processing techniques on Listeria Monocytogenes which is considered as a major food borne pathogen in food industries. There was a 3-log cycle reduction achieved with the help of ultrasonication at 9 min and a 7-log cycle reduction was observed when ultrasound was applied with a heating of the samples at 63°C suggesting that thermosonication can be a promising technique in ensuring the safety of milk and milk derived products.Molecular dynamics (MD) studies have also been conducted to analyze the behavior of bovine b-lactoglobulin under the influence of high temperatures and combined high temperatures and oscillating electric field. Bovine b-lactoglobulin has been opted for the study because it is considered as one of the major allergen in cow milk which is responsible for causing adverse allergic reactions in cow milk. The properties such as Root mean square deviation (RMSD), radius of gyration (Rg), Dipole moment, Solvent Accessible surface area (SASA) and Root mean square fluctuations of atoms have been studied which are essential to observe the behavior of protein molecule. The results have showed that there was more structural deviation during combined thermal and oscillating electric field as compared to thermal treatment alone. Moreover, results obtained from root mean square fluctuations of atoms gives valuable insight in depicting the allergic behavior of allergen epitopes during thermal and combined thermal and oscillating electric field treatment.

Book excerpt: Milk has played a major contribution to the human diet in many different countries across the world since the dawn of time. The dairy cow was domesticated over 6000 years ago, she was the object of worship in the Middle East 2000 years before Christ, and milk and milk products are mentioned more than 50 times in the Bible. Milk and dairy products have become a major part of the human diet in many countries. It is not surprising therefore, that over many years considerable attention has been paid to improving the quality of milk. We have worked to improve the yield, the compositional quality and the hygienic quality, and have striven to minimise the level of contaminants which can find access to this, perhaps our most natural, unrefined and highly nutritious foodstuff. The chain of people involved in the milk industry extends from milk production-farmers, veterinarians and farm advisors-through transport to processing-quality controllers, manufacturers-and on to retailers, legislators, nutritionists, dairy educators and consumers. All will be interested in the quality parameters of milk which are reg ularly measured for commercial reasons, for trade, for legal requirements and for reasons of nutrition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milk is considered as a complete diet for an infant and contains essential nutrients for the development of young mammals. The substances in milk provide energy and antibodies that help protect against infection. Most farmers are paid for the quality and composition of their milk. Whole milk, once approved for use, is pumped into storage silos where it undergoes pasteurization, homogenization, separation, and further processing. Milk is a highly perishable commodity because it is an excellent medium for the growth of microorganisms - particularly bacterial pathogens - that can cause spoilage as well as diseases in consumers. Milk processing allows the preservation of milk for days, weeks, or months and helps to reduce food-borne illness.

Book excerpt: Food process engineering, a branch of both food science and chemical engineering, has evolved over the years since its inception and still is a rapidly changing discipline. While traditionally the main objective of food process engineering was preservation and stabilization, the focus today has shifted to enhance health aspects, flavour and taste, nutrition, sustainable production, food security and also to ensure more diversity for the increasing demand of consumers. The food industry is becoming increasingly competitive and dynamic, and strives to develop high quality, freshly prepared food products. To achieve this objective, food manufacturers are today presented with a growing array of new technologies that have the potential to improve, or replace, conventional processing technologies, to deliver higher quality and better consumer targeted food products, which meet many, if not all, of the demands of the modern consumer. These new, or innovative, technologies are in various stages of development, including some still at the R&D stage, and others that have been commercialised as alternatives to conventional processing technologies. Food process engineering comprises a series of unit operations traditionally applied in the food industry. One major component of these operations relates to the application of heat, directly or indirectly, to provide foods free from pathogenic microorganisms, but also to enhance or intensify other processes, such as extraction, separation or modification of components. The last three decades have also witnessed the advent and adaptation of several operations, processes, and techniques aimed at producing high quality foods, with minimum alteration of sensory and nutritive properties. Some of these innovative technologies have significantly reduced the thermal component in food processing, offering alternative nonthermal methods. Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review, Three Volume Set covers the latest advances in innovative and nonthermal processing, such as high pressure, pulsed electric fields, radiofrequency, high intensity pulsed light, ultrasound, irradiation and new hurdle technology. Each section will have an introductory article covering the basic principles and applications of each technology, and in-depth articles covering the currently available equipment (and/or the current state of development), food quality and safety, application to various sectors, food laws and regulations, consumer acceptance, advancements and future scope. It will also contain case studies and examples to illustrate state-of-the-art applications. Each section will serve as an excellent reference to food industry professionals involved in the processing of a wide range of food categories, e.g., meat, seafood, beverage, dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetable products, spices, herbs among others.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last years, the consumption of unpasteurised milk has increased in popularity in the Western countries, despite the known risks associated with food-borne pathogens. Some people appear to experience milk-related gastrointestinal symptoms even when tested negative for lactose intolerance and milk allergy. In such cases, processing of milk, most often homogenisation or heat treatment, has been suggested to be involved in the induction of the gastrointestinal symptoms.Commercial milk is generally homogenised for the purpose of physical stability. Homogenisation reduces the size of fat droplets. Breaking of the fat globules creates new interface, which is covered with denaturated proteins. Further denaturation level of the proteins depends on the severity of the heat treatment.In this study entity, the effect of processing of bovine milk on the gastrointestinal symptoms in self-reported milk sensitive individuals was tested in two separate double blind crossover trials. Tested milks included raw milk (unprocessed), pasteurized milk, pasteurized and homogenized milk, and UHT treated and homogenized milk thus including milks at both end of commercially approved liquid milks in Finland. All milks came from the same herd of cows, which nulled the effect of genetic background and feeding of the cows. Ingestible pH-, pressure and temperature measuring probe was used to investigate gastrointestinal pressure. Self-reported diaries were used to measure perceived gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally inflammation markers were studied from the plasma.In the first trial no significant difference was found in the amount of gastrointestinal symptoms or in the intestinal pressure after the consumption of native and processed milk. However, the obtained results on pressure in the large intestine (P = 0.068) as well as reported symptoms (P = 0.103) suggested that further studies in this area were needed. However, in the second trial where pasteurised, pasteurised and homogenised, and UHT -treated and homogenized milks were compared, the amount, severity or duration of the reported symptoms did not differ.This study demonstrates that the ingestible pressure-, pH and temperature measuring probe provided a novel possibility to study intestinal pressure in nutrition trials. The results of the present studies do not support the hypothesis that cowsu2019 milk processing would induce gastrointestinal symptoms in milk sensitive but lactose tolerant subjects.Conflict of interest:There is no conflict of interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, animal scientists have learned that administering recombinantly derived somatotropin (growth hormone) to cows improves milk production and that giving beta-adrenergic agonists to meat animals improves productivity and leanness. In order for these metabolic modifiers to yield benefits, however, sound management of the animals' nutrition is necessary. This volume reports on how these substances work in the animals' metabolism, what effects they might have on nutrient requirements of domestic livestock, and what information should be developed further by investigators. The book explores the current understanding of the biology, structure, mechanisms of action, and treatment effects of somatotropin, beta-adrenergic agonists, and anabolic steroids. A companion volume to the Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals series, this authoritative volume will be required reading for animal scientists, researchers, veterinarians, livestock farmers, and faculty and students in university animal veterinary science programs.
