Low schooling rates among livestock producing families are found to be key in preventing an effective generational transfer and gender and social equality in Colombia. Simultaneously, this low literacy rate is now understood as a critical factor hindering the sector's productivity and...

While separating the calf from the dairy cow shortly after birth is common practice around the world, stakeholders have conflicting perspectives on whether this practice is harmful or beneficial for the animals' welfare and production. Therefore, we wanted to explore farmer's perceived barriers to...

Recently, residues of 4-acetaminophen (paracetamol) have been found in urine of slaughter animals. To investigate its possible origin, a 7 week animal experiment was performed with 5 groups of 4 calves fed different amounts of roughage, and treated or not with 4-acetaminophen. Group 1 (control):...

To better understand the formation mechanism of apo-α-lactalbumin (α-LA)/Oleic acid (OA) complexes, this research used fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy to investigate the OA-induced structural changes of buffalo apo-α-LA as a function of OA concentration, pH and ionic...

Non-thermal processing of milk has been considered over the past decade as an alternative or adjunct to thermal processes. UV-C radiation in combination with turbulent flow of opaque liquids seems to be a promising non-thermal method for the reduction of bacterial populations in milk. Apart from...

Poor rehydration properties of spray-dried milk protein isolate (MPI) are one of the major challenges for its applications. In this study, sodium caseinate (NaCas) was added in the MPI dispersions at a total solid concentration of 8 g/100 mL and NaCas:MPI mass ratios of 0:1, 1:9, 3:7, 1:1, and 1:0...

Two PPG₁₀₀₀ based thermo-sensitive magnetic ionic liquids were synthesized and characterized. A novel analytical method of thermo-sensitive magnetic ionic liquid aqueous biphasic system coupled with HPLC was employed for the successive enrichment and highly sensitive detection of trace amount of...

Fortifying yogurt with blueberries, potatoes, and Perilla seed oil (PO) can enhance the yogurt's nutritional and health-promoting effects. This study aimed to evaluate the development of volatile compounds, physicochemical quality, amino acids, and shelf life of flavored yogurt supplemented with...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in cheese, as result of the chemical, physical and microbiological properties of the raw milk, are related to its sensory properties and consumer's acceptability. Measurement of VOCs can be related to the quality of the production process, highlighting changes in...

Full-fat (WC1) and half-fat (WC2) Turkish white cheeses were manufactured on an industrial scale and ripened for 180 days. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation in chemical and volatile compounds as well as the textural and microstructural characteristics during ripening of...
