Zoom While the chemical composition of cow’s milk has been studied for decades, much of this information is fragmentary and very dated. The amounts of salts present are not constant. Redrawn from Walstra, Wouters and Geurts 2006, Dairy Science and Technology). Milk provides essential nutrients and is an important source of dietary energy, high-quality proteins and fats. The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+] in it. The samples of milk used for the determination of FAs composition and cholesterol content were held in a refrigerator (−20 °C) until analysis. The opacity of milk is due to suspended particles of fat, proteins and certain minerals. Milk Chemical Composition Analysis. Mineral salts occur in solution in milk serum or in casein compounds. 2.36 Bonds between hydrophobic sites start to develop and are enforced by calcium bonds that develop as the water molecules in the micelles start to leave the structure. The fat-soluble vitamins are very thermostable and their level is not lowered by heat treatment. Milk is an emulsion and the lipids are found in a globular form. Whey protein is a term often used as a synonym for milk-serum proteins, but it should be reserved for the proteins in whey from the cheese making process. Over 400 individual fatty acids have been identified in mil… Milk is an important source of A, D and group B vitamins. Chemical Constituents of Milk The exact composition of milk varies with the breed of cattle, the feed used and the period of lactation. BACTERIAL GROWTH AND CHEMICAL CHANGES IN MILK KEPT AT LOW TEMPERATURES. Redrawn from Walstra, Wouters and Geurts 2006, Dairy Science and Technology). Then they repel each other once more and therefore remain in solution. Breakdown of lactose by enzymatic action and formation of lactic acid. Other enzymes from the lactic-acid bacteria then attack the glucose and galactose, which are converted via complicated intermediary reactions into mainly lactic acid. Thus formulas imply definite combination, whereas there is a complex salt equilibrium in milk, which has not been satisfactorily worked out. A protein molecule usually contains around 100 – 200 linked amino acids, but both smaller and much larger numbers are known to constitute a protein molecule, Zoom Table 2.6 lists the amounts of vitamins in one litre of market milk and the daily vitamin requirements of an adult person. Since oleic acid is by far the most abundant of the unsaturated fatty acids, which are liquid at room temperature, the iodine value is largely a measure of the oleic-acid content and thereby of the softness of the fat. True solutions: Matter which, when mixed with water or other liquids, forms true solutions, is divided into: When an acid (e.g. Chemical composition of milk of Złotnicka White sows during lactation. The content of catalase and peroxidase is high. Milk chemistry and composition - Basics for Dairy processing 1. Three ways of symbolizing a water molecule, Three ways of symbolizing an ethyl alcohol molecule. The amount of different fatty acids in fat also affects the way it refracts light. Certain fodder concentrates, such as sunflower cake and linseed cake, also produce soft fat, while coconut and palm oil cake and root vegetable tops produce hard fat. These sulphurous compounds are responsible for the “cooked” flavour of heat treated milk. All fats belong to a group of chemical substances called esters, which are compounds of alcohols and acids. The titratable acidity can be expressed in a variety of units basically as a result of the strength of the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) needed at titration. The pH of cultured milk products is usually in the range of 3.9 – 4.5, which is on the acid side of the isoelectric points. In terms of fat-soluble vitamins, A and D are the most important. In the manufacture of casein from skim milk by the addition of sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, the pH chosen is often 4.6. This subject is very important to a dairy manager because production of high-quality raw milk is paramount importance for successful manufacture and marketing. When the concentrations of [H+] and [OH–] (hydroxyl) ions are equal, the solution is called neutral. The high fat content of most chocolate - Cadbury’s Dairy Milk alone contains 30 g of fat per 100g these amounts of fat may causes obesity which intern leading to heart disease and diabetes. Oxidation of fat can be partly counteracted by microorganisms in the milk, by pasteurization at a temperature above 80 °C, or by antioxidant additives (reducing agents). The pH of normal milk generally lies between 6.6 - 6.8 with average of 6.7 as the most common value. Proteins are an essential part of our diet. Zoom Minor protein groups have been excluded for the sake of simplicity. Oxidation of fat results in a metallic flavour, while it gives butter an oily, tallowy taste. Such an atom is no longer electrically neutral. The temperature of inactivation varies from one type of enzyme to another – a fact which has been widely utilized for the purpose of determining the degree of pasteurization of milk. Milk is an emulsionof milkfat globules in an aqueous (watery) environment. Therefore only limit values can be stated for the variations. hydrochloric acid, HCl) is mixed with water it releases hydrogen ions (protons) with a positive charge (H+). pH represents the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution and can mathematically be defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion [H+] concentration. Genetic variants of a protein differ from each other only by a few amino acids. When milk and cream turn to butter, there is a phase inversion from an oil-in-water emulsion to a water-in-oil emulsion. Properties of milk Nutrient composition. This will change the environment of the casein micelles in two ways. The nanocluster model of casein micelles. The presence of iron and copper salts accelerates the onset of auto-oxidation and development of metallic flavour, as does the presence of dissolved oxygen and exposure to light, especially direct sunlight or light from fluorescent tubes. When a base (a metal oxide or hydroxide) is added to water, it forms a basic or alkaline solution. Goat milk protein usually has a ratio between essential and total amino acids of 0.46 and an essential vs. non-essential ratio of 0.87 (Singh and Singh, 1985). Please enter your details to continue reading the rest of the book of 480 pages essential dairy processing knowledge. As long as they are not denatured by heat, they are not precipitated at their isoelectric points. The former are normal constituents of milk and are called original enzymes. Definition of Milk as Per Food Standards and Safety Authority of India, 2006 (formerly Prevention of Food adulteration Act, 1954) and Average Composition of Milk from Cow and Different Species The temperature of inactivation varies according to the type of enzyme. Because of that, agglutination does not occur in pasteurized milk. Fig. If the acid and alkali are mixed in certain proportions, the resulting mixture will be neutral, with no excess of either hydrogen or hydroxide ions and with a pH of 7. The milk of goats and sheep is similar in composition to that of cows. The quality of raw milk in conformity with consumers’ requirements is determined by chemical composition, physicochemical properties, microbiological quality, sensory Rollema H.S. Fig 2.40 Schematic picture of fat splitting by lipase enzyme, Fig 2.40 Schematic picture of fat splitting by lipase enzyme. Hydroxyl groups in the chains of some amino acids in casein may be esterified with phosphoric acid. Fig. Milk fat crystallization is an exothermic reaction, which means that the chemical reaction is accompanied by evolution of heat. Fig 2.6 An atom may lose or gain one or more electrons. R in the figure stands for organic material bound to the central carbon atom. Since the micelles are of colloidal dimensions they are capable of scattering light and the white colour of skim milk is largely due to light scattering by the casein micelles. Percentage of the β - casein not associated with the micelles after keeping milk for about 24 h at varying temperature (Ref. Casein (/ ˈkeɪsiːn / KAY-see-n, from Latin caseus "cheese") is a family of related phosphoproteins (αS1, αS2, β, κ). Immunoglobulins are antibodies synthesized in response to stimulation by specific antigens. An example is lactic acid (C3H603). At high temperatures, sulphurous compounds such as hydrogen sulphide are gradually released. The iodine value is a measure of the oleic acid content of the fat. Vitamin C and B9 may completely disappear within a few days if a high level of oxygen is present. Although milk is a liquid and most often considered a drink, it contains between 12 and 13 percent total solids and perhaps should be regarded as a food.In contrast, many “solid” foods, such as tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce, contain as little as 6 percent solids. Determination of acidity in Thörner degrees, °Th. The symbol pH is used to denote the hydrogen ion concentration. The pH is checked with a pH-meter. Milk fat is a mixture of different fatty acids and glycerol. Water molecules held by the hydrophilic sites of κ - casein form an important part of this balance. chalk in water) it is said to be in colloidal solution or colloidal suspension. The amino acids belong to a group of chemical compounds which can emit hydrogen ions in alkaline solutions and absorb hydrogen ions in acid solutions. milk composition will be approximately the same. If, on the other hand, a strong alkaline solution (NaOH) is added, all proteins acquire negative charges and dissolve. High-temperature pasteurization helps, as reducing compounds, –SH groups, are formed when milk is heated. When the pH of milk is changed by addition of an acid or a base, the charge distribution of the proteins is also changed. Vitamins are organic substances that occur in very small concentrations in both plants and animals. The aqueous (watery) portion of milk contains a variety of substances including lactose (milk sugar), protein (casein and whey), minerals, and certain vitamins. Ann. Milk is a heterogeneous mixture which can be defined as a complex chemical substance in which fat is emulsified as globules, major milk protein (casein), and some mineral matters in the colloidal state and lactose together with some minerals and soluble whey proteins in the form of true solution. Fat with a high content of high-melting fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, will be hard; on the other hand, fat with a high content of low-melting oleic acid makes soft butter. The breakdown of fat into glycerol and free fatty acids is called lipolysis. In milk intended for cultured milk products (yoghurt, etc. by ethanol addition or rennet-induced hydrolysis, the colloidal stability of the micelle is changed and the micelles aggregate or precipitate. The pH at which this happens is called the isoelectric point of the protein. This variation affects the hardness of the fat. If a large excess of sodium hydroxide is added to the precipitated iso-electric casein, the redissolved casein will be converted into sodium caseinate, partly dissociated into ions. They are essential to normal life processes, but cannot be synthesized by the body. The proteins are formed from a specific kind of amino acids, α amino acids, i.e. It is called an ion. It differs greatly from normal milk in composition and properties. TABLE 1. The chemical composition of the Creole milk showed high values of total solids (proteins 5.13%; fat 4.91%) (Olieszewski et al, 2002). The iodine value states the percentage of iodine that the fat can bind. The agglutinins are inactivated by heat treatment and their ability to flocculate particles disappears. For this reason different authorities report different salt combinations. by pumping, stirring and splashing. Water Results showed that maximum water content was recorded in sample S 5 (84.8%) followed by sample S3 (84.6%), while minimum was recorded in sample S1 (82.8%) followed by S 2 (83.1%). When fat globule membranes are damaged, lipolysis can release fatty acids. The αs- and β-caseins are mainly concentrated in the middle of the micelle, while κ-casein predominates on the surface. The pH value, however, is hardly affected at all, as the increase in the concentration of free hydrogen ions is very small. Four to five days after calving, the cow begins to produce milk of normal composition, which can be mixed with other milk. Due to the complex nature of the casein molecules, and that of the micelles formed from them, precipitation can be caused by many different agents. More than 100 elements are known today. The chemical composition and nutritional quality of camel milk was studied. The splitting of the 105 – 106 bond in the κ - casein molecule is often called the primary phase of the rennet action, while the phase of coagulation and syneresis is referred to as the secondary phase. A protein molecule may therefore be either hydrophilic, hydrophobic, intermediate or locally hydrophilic and hydrophobic. This enzyme is inactivated if the milk is heated to 80 °C for a few seconds, a fact which can be used to prove the presence or absence of peroxidase in milk and thereby check whether or not a pasteurization temperature above 80 °C has been reached. The fat-globule membrane proteins adhere, as the name implies, to the surface of the fat globules and are only released by mechanical action, e.g. Zoom Unlike most compounds, the solubility of calcium phosphate decreases with temperature. Lactoferrin is also an inhibitor of bacteria including B. stearothermophilus and B. subtilis. Phosphatase has the property of being able to split certain phosphoric-acid esters into phosphoric acid and the corresponding alcohols. The internal structure of a casein micelle has been under debate for a long time and is still not fully understood. The chemical composition of buttermilk determines the nutritional and flavour properties of the product. Cow milk: Fat constitutes approximately 3 to 4 percent of the solid content of cow milk, protein about 3.5 percent and lactose 5 percent, but the gross chemical composition of cow milk varies depending on the breed. Compared to cow milk, yak milk was richer in protein (especially whey protein), essential amino acids, fat, … Milk proteins can be made visible by an electron microscope, Milk proteins can be made visible by an electron microscope. The functioning of an enzyme is illustrated in Figure 2.39. Fatty acids with the same numbers of C and H atoms but with different numbers of single and double bonds have completely different characteristics. The lactulose contentincreases with increased intensity of the heat treatment and it can be used to differentiate between pasteurized, UHT and sterilized milks (Martinez Castro & Olano, 1982, and Geier & Klostermeyer, 1983). Journal of Dairy Research, Vol. The amino acids can thus appear in three states: Proteins are built from 20 amino acids. by acidification or addition of EDTA or citrates, leads to disintegration of the micelles. The presence of phosphatase in milk can be detected by adding a phosphoric-acid ester and a reagent that changes colour when it reacts with the liberated alcohol. In homogenized milk, the coat is mostly casein. Fig 2.14 Average chemical composition of milk: Factors affecting composition of milk. Milk contains a large number of substances which can act either as weak acids or as weak bases, e.g. This effect can be explained by the characteristic qualities of the proteins. Water Results showed that maximum water content was recorded in sample S 5 (84.8%) followed by sample S3 (84.6%), while minimum was recorded in sample S1 (82.8%) followed by S 2 (83.1%). These ions are almost all bound to the amino groups in the side chains of the amino acids, forming NH3+ ions. Effects of Chemical Composition and Microstructure in Human Milk and Infant Formulas on Lipid Digestion Tinglan Yuan State Key Lab of Food Science and Technology, College of Life Science and Food Engineering, Nanchang University, Nanchang 330047, Jiangxi, China When the diffusion of water in both directions is equal, the system is in equilibrium. Maillard reactions are initiated by heat treatment and continue during storage of the product. There are about as many atoms in a small copper coin as there are seconds in a thousand million million years! The degradation of vitamins is not only related to the heat treatment, but also to storage of the final product. The effect of stage of lactation, season of year and age of cow - Volume 23 Issue 1 - … Bacterial enzymes are more resistant. Table 2.3 shows that the lactose content of milk varies between 3.6 and 5.5%. The mean water content for samples S 1, S 2, S3, S4 and S 5 in solutions as cations (positive charge) and anions (negative charge) or in solid form as salts. A substance in which all the atoms are of the same kind is called an element. The fatty acids and some other products of this enzymatic reaction give a “rancid” flavour to the product. On subsequent heating of the raw or pasteurized chilled milk to 62 – 65 °C for about 20 seconds, the b - casein and calcium phosphate will partly revert to the micelle, thereby at least partly restoring the original properties of the milk. The action of enzymes is specific; each type of enzyme catalyses only one type of reaction. Anim. The same thing happens if proteins are exposed to acids or bases, to radiation or to high pressure. Fig 2.21 Milk: Composition, Processing, Pasteurization, Milk-Borne Pathogens and Spoilage. The paper surveyed the chemical composition and nitrogen distribution of Maiwa yak milk, and compared the results with reference composition of cow milk. The mean water content for samples S 1, S 2, S3, S4 and S 5 Average Chemical Composition (%) of Whole Bovine Milk 1. There is also a tertiary phase of rennet action, where the rennet attacks the casein components in a more general way. Composing about 2 to 8 percent of the milk of all mammals, lactose is sometimes called milk sugar. Glycogen is an example of a carbohydrate with a very large molecular weight. The strongly generalized transformation is shown in Figure 2.45. The specific composition of camel milk makes it a promising alternative to bovine milk. Zoom This is a quick method of assessing the hardness of the fat. Fig 2.5 Fig 2.23 The main lipids present in milk are triglycerides, phospholipids and cho­lesterol. In the presence of light and/or heavy metal ions, the fatty acids are further broken down in steps into aldehydes and ketones, which give rise to off-flavours such as oxidation rancidity in fat dairy products. Elsevier Science Publications Ltd. Zoom This means that heating causes precipitation of calcium phosphate in the form of CCP in the micelle, while cooling increases the concentration of soluble calcium phosphate. Lactose undergoes changes more readily in milk than in the dry state. In an intact micelle there is a surplus of negative charges, so they repel each other. If the hairy layer is removed e.g. If on the other hand the side chain is of hydrocarbon which does not contain hydrophilic radicals, the properties of the hydrocarbon chain will dominate. Figure 2.24 shows a model of an amino acid. This process illustrated in Figure 2.13 is used commercially to concentrate solutions and is termed Reverse Osmosis (RO). Schematic shape of two immunoglobulins.Ref. 2.43 Not even UHT treatment can destroy them entirely. Positive and negative ions are always present at the same time; i.e. The amino acid chain forming the κ - casein molecule consists of 169 amino acids. They can also act against “particles” such as bacteria, viruses and even fat globules, and flocculate them, a reaction called agglutination. Table 2.4 lists the most important fatty acids in milk fat triglycerides.
