A duplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method able to detect bovine milk in ovine cheeses was developed. This method is based on the mitochondrial 12S and 16S rRNA genes to generate fragments of different lengths. The proposed methodology presents an alternative DNA extraction procedure faster and more economical than the kits commercially available. A linear normalized calibration curve was obtained between the log of the ratio of the bovine band intensity and the sum of bovine and ovine band intensities versus the log of cow's milk percentage. The method was applied successfully to the detection and quantification of raw, pasteurized, and powdered bovine milk in different cheeses. The proposed duplex PCR provides a simple, sensitive, and accurate approach to detect as low as 0.1% bovine milk in cheeses and to quantify bovine milk in ovine cheeses in the range of 1-50%.

Infant formulas are constantly being updated and upgraded, and N-glycans are functional glycans that have not been fully exploited to date. Commercial whey protein materials are often used as basic ingredients in infant formulas. Therefore, it is important to study N-glycans in commercial whey protein materials.

Background And Aim: In animal husbandry, antibiotics are frequently used as growth promoters, as well as for illness prevention and treatment. They are considered important toxic and allergenic contaminants of food and a serious risk factor for the spread of antibiotic resistance. National and international regulatory authorities have established limits on the permissible residue of antibiotics in food.

Integrating the milk microbiome signatures in mastitis: milk-omics and functional implications.

Mammalian milk contains a variety of complex bioactive and nutritional components and microorganisms. These microorganisms have diverse compositions and functional roles that impact host health and disease pathophysiology, especially mastitis. The advent and use of high throughput omics technologies, including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, metametabolomics, as well as culturomics in milk microbiome studies suggest strong relationships between host phenotype and milk microbiome signatures in mastitis.

High moisture Mozzarella cheese is particularly popular because of its freshness and milky flavor, however the difference in aroma compound composition between high moisture Mozzarella cheese made from bovine (BOC) and buffalo milk (BUC) remains unclear. Herein, the volatile compounds of 2 kinds of Mozzarella cheese were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by SPME-GC × GC-O-TOFMS, SPME-Arrow-GC-MS and GC-IMS for the first time. A total of 139 volatile compounds were identified (69 aroma active compounds were sniffed), of which 106 were identified in BOC and 96 in BUC.

The increased use of dairy fat in various applications is facilitated by its fractionation into hard and liquid fractions. Herein, the fractionation of bovine ghee and buffalo ghee was investigated, and triacylglycerol (TAG) profiles of milk fat fractions and 2 categories of infant formulas fat were quantified by using ultra-performance convergence chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPC-Q-TOF-MS) using carbon dioxide as the mobile phase. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of the different samples was evaluated, and tocopherols content was also quantified.
