    As the core component of dairy products, milk proteins possess rich nutritional value and a variety of bioactive functions. There are complex interactions (covalent bonding, non-covalent bonding, etc.) between active molecules (such as polyphenols, polysaccharides and vitamins) and milk proteins. These interactions not only affect the structure and functional properties of milk proteins (such as emulsifying properties, solubility, foaming properties, and gelling properties), but also may have significant impacts on food processing and preservation, as well as the nutritional value and functionality of final products. This review summarizes the interaction mechanisms between milk proteins and several types of active molecules and their effects on functional properties. It is of great significance for a systematic understanding of the binding between milk proteins and active molecules and provides a theoretical basis for in-depth research and industrial production of dairy products.

    Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) with a diameter of 30–150 nm. They are widely involved in intercellular communication and disease diagnosis, and can serve as drug delivery carriers for targeted disease treatment. Due to the lack of sufficient sources and methods to obtain exosomes, their therapeutic application as drug carriers is limited. Milk contains abundant exosomes. Multiple studies have shown that milk-derived exosomes play a crucial role in preventing and treating intestinal diseases. This article reviews the extraction and identification methods of milk-derived exosomes reported in the literature. It also discusses the role of milk-derived exosomes in regulating intestinal physiological functions by protecting the intestinal barrier, alleviating intestinal inflammation, regulating the intestinal microbiota, and promoting intestinal cell proliferation. Milk-derived exosomes have various advantages such as no adverse immune reactions or inflammatory reactions. Understanding the regulatory mechanism of milk-derived exosomes on intestinal physiological functions can help further study their role in preventing and treating intestinal diseases.

    Journal of Dairy Science and Technology    2024, 47 (5): 1-6.   DOI: 10.7506/rykxyjs1671-5187-20240708-056
    Abstract108)   HTML18)    PDF (1819KB)(73)       Save
    This study explored the impact of ultra-high pressure jet (UHPJ) treatment on the quality of fresh skimmed milk. After UHPJ treatment at pressures ranging from 100 to 300 MPa, the changes in the color, odor and overall flavor of skimmed milk were detected by using electronic eye, electronic nose and sensory evaluation. The results showed that the main color number of skimmed milk was white 4095, constituting 46.80%–53.83%. A total of 42 volatile flavor components such as esters, ketones, and aldehydes were detected by electronic nose. The majority of the flavor components exhibited milky, fruity, roasted, and grassy aromas. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the flavor of samples treated at 300 MPa differed greatly from that of other treated samples. Sensory evaluation indicated that among the flavor attributes evaluated, milky aroma and sweetness were prominent, and there were considerable differences between different samples in terms of sweetness, peptone-like, rusty, burnt and bland flavors. Samples treated at 250 and 300 MPa generated sulfide compounds such as dimethyl sulfide that significantly enhanced the burnt and peptone-like flavors of skimmed milk. In conclusion, UHPJ treatment with 200 MPa can better retain the flavor components in skimmed milk and consequently maintain the flavor of raw milk.

    The enzymatic hydrolysate of Zhongdian yak milk casein was fractionated by ultrafiltration into two fractions: molecular mass > 3 kDa and < 3 kDa. The cell proliferation activity and antioxidant activity of the two fractions were determined. The bioactive peptides derived from yak milk casein were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), bioinformatics and molecular docking. The results showed that the proliferation rate of RAW264.7 cells was above 80% in the presence of either the molecular mass > 3 kDa or < 3 kDa fraction. Both fractions had the ability to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) cation radical. The cell proliferation and free radical scavenging activity of the molecular mass < 3 kDa fraction were better than those of the > 3 kDa fraction. A total of 895 peptides were identified from the molecular mass < 3 kDa fraction, of which 96 were known bioactive peptides, mainly antioxidant peptides (39.6%) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides (30.2%), indicating that Zhongdian yak casein is an important source of bioactive peptides. Based on their activity and hydrophobicity, antioxidant peptides GYF and RPW were selected from the predicted 20 potential antioxidant peptides. The results of molecular docking showed that the binding energies of GYF and RPW with ABTS cation and DPPH radicals were all negative, indicating that they had binding potential and exerted antioxidant activity mainly by forming hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

    The optimal parameters for ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic extraction of polysaccharides from Potentilla anserina L. using a mixture of cellulase, pectinase and papain (2:1:0.5) were determined as follows: enzyme dosage 49 U/g, ultrasonic time 100 min and pH 4.4. Under these conditions, the maximum yield of polysaccharide extract from Potentilla anserina L. (PAPE) of (6.89 ± 0.08)% was obtained. Furthermore, the effect of PAPE on yak yoghurt fermentation was investigated. The results showed that PAPE could significantly enhance the viable count and acid-producing capacity of Streptococcus thermophilus CICC 6038, Lactobacillus bulgaricus CICC 20247 and Lactobacillus fermentum HY01 in a dose-dependent manner. Yoghurt added with PAPE at 2 g/100 mL concentration had a hardness of (163.0 ± 9.9) g, a viscosity of (?182.9 ± 1.6) g·s, a consistency of (69.7 ± 1.7) g·s, a cohesiveness of (410.0 ± 6.0) g and it had a good taste, with a sensory score of 7.78; its antioxidant capacity in terms of scavenging capacity against hydroxyl, superoxide anion and 2,2’-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) cation radicals increased significantly compared with the control group. This study provides new ideas for improving the quality and added value of yak yogurt.

    To solve the difficulty of storing and transporting yak butter, yak butter microcapsule powders were prepared using a mixture of maltodextrin and sodium caseinate as the wall material, a mixture of molecular distilled monoglycerides and sucrose ester as the emulsifier and guar gum as the stabilizer by vacuum freeze-drying or spray drying. The basic physicochemical properties (moisture content, solubility, rheology, surface oil content, encapsulation efficiency, and yield), microscopic structure, and thermal stability of the two as-prepared samples were compared. The results showed that the microencapsulated powders prepared by the two methods were milky white in color and free of impurities, and had a fresh aroma. Both of them exhibited high encapsulation efficiency, (90.17 ± 1.07)% and (92.12 ± 0.32)%, respectively. The yield of freeze-dried microcapsule powders, (98.42 ± 0.38)%, was significantly higher than that of spray-dried microcapsule powders, (25.77 ± 1.34)%, and the average particle size (D[4,3] = 16.695 μm) was smaller than that of spray-dried powder (D[4,3] = 24.945 μm). The solubility and fluidity of the spray-dried powder were superior to those of the freeze-dried powder. Under a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the surface of spray-dried powder was smooth and spherical in shape, while the freeze-dried powder was irregular. The thermal stability of the spray-dried powder was better. In summary, when considering economic benefits, the spray-dried powder holds greater significance for industrial production.

    In this study, a prediction model based on Fourier transform mid-infrared spectroscopy was developed for the rapid detection of β-lactoglobulin in milk. The content of β-lactoglobulin in 260 different batches of milk samples was determined as reference by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the mid-infrared spectra of raw milk were collected using an Fourier transform mid-infrared spectrometer. The effective wavebands were selected, and the background noise was eliminated by Savitsky-Golay (SG) smoothing, first-order derivative or second-order derivative pretreatment before the establishment of the β-lactoglobulin prediction model by using partial least squares regression (PLSR). The results showed that SG five-point smoothing second-order derivative was the optimum preprocessing method. The PLSR model exhibited good prediction accuracy with correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.932 for the calibration set, root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) of 0.049%, R2 of 0.923 for the calibration set, and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.057%.

    Whey proteins, as high-quality proteins in milk, have high nutritional value and diverse functional properties. Genetic variations under different environments and post-translational modifications cause differences in the expression and structure of whey proteins, resulting in an increased diversity and complexity, which makes it more difficult to gain insights into whey proteins. With the continuous development of omics techniques, people have gained a deeper understanding of the composition and functional activities of whey proteins. With a view to providing a scientific theoretical basis for in-depth studies of bovine whey proteins and the development of personalized dairy products, this paper reviews the application of proteomics in the study of bovine whey proteins, and analyzes the similarities and differences in the types, molecular structures, metabolic pathways, and biological functions of whey proteins from different breeds of cow, lactation periods, feeding conditions, and processing methods.

    An analytical method for the determination of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDEs) and glycidyl esters (GEs) in infant formula milk powder was established using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on optimized lipid extraction and derivatization conditions, the method was evaluated for spiked recovery, linear relationship, precision, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). Quantification was carried out using the internal standard method. The proposed method showed good linearity in the range of 5–500 ng (r > 0.999), with an LOD of 0.006 mg/kg and an LOQ of 0.015 mg/kg. The recovery rates at three spiked concentration levels of 10, 100 and 500 ng ranged from 95.6% to 100.9%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 5.03%. The results of GC-MS and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) for 3-MCPDEs and GEs in several batches of infant formula samples did not significantly differ. In addition, compared with GC-MS/MS, the GC-MS method was simpler and easier to operate with lower cost and could be promoted in different levels of laboratories. Therefore, this method is suitable for determining the content of 3-MCPDEs and GEs in infant formula milk powder.

    Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was employed to determine the change of free amino acid contents in hard yak cheeses with different salt levels during 6 months of ripening. The results showed that a total of 23 free amino acids were detected, the major ones being aspartic acid, glutamic acid, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, threonine and cysteine, together representing 94% to 95% of the total free amino acid content. The content of each free amino acid showed an increasing trend between months 1 and 6. In the late stage of maturation, the contents of threonine, asparaginate, aspartic acid, valine, proline and phenylalanine increased with increasing salt addition, the contents of alanine, histidine, arginine and tyrosine decreased, and the contents of leucine, isoleucine, serine, glycine and tryptophan first increased and then decreased. The contents of of glutamic acid, leucine, isoleucine, aromatic amino acid, cysteine, glycine and serine were significantly higher in long-ripened cheese with 1.3% salt addition than in those with higher salt contents. This study provides theoretical support for the development of low-salt hard yak cheese.

    Milk fat globules are secreted by breast epithelial cells and are enveloped by a unique three-layer membrane structure composed of polar lipids, cholesterol, and various proteins. This complex phospholipid protein membrane is collectively referred to as the milk fat globule membrane. The milk fat globule membrane can stabilize fat globules, prevent their aggregation, and because it is rich in lipids, it can promote various biological functions such as infant brain development, improve cognitive ability, and enhance immunity. The fat in breast milk exists in the form of fat globules, which are enveloped by a unique membrane structure called the milk fat globule membrane. Its interfacial composition makes the fat easier to digest and utilize. When breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula milk powder becomes the best substitute for breast milk. The lack of milk fat globule membrane can affect the structure and stability of lipid droplets, which in turn affects the digestion and absorption of lipids, increasing the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome in infants in the later stages of growth. In order to approximate the nutritional composition of breast milk as closely as possible, infant formula milk powder mainly uses vegetable oil formula when simulating the fat content and fatty acid composition of breast milk, ensuring that the fat composition of infant formula milk powder meets the needs of infant growth and development. However, the lack of milk fat globule membrane wrapping leads to significant differences in the physical structure and chemical composition of fat in infant formula milk powder compared to breast milk, which affects the lipid digestion and metabolism of infants and young children. In recent years, there have been many studies on milk fat globules such as cow's milk and sheep's milk both domestically and internationally. This article reviews the research progress on the composition, functional characteristics, and applications of milk fat globule membranes from different sources, providing reference for the rational utilization of milk fat globule membrane resources.
