    Small molecule saponins are highly physiologically active and exert their biological effects only when interacting with biomolecules in the target cells in the human body. α-Lactalbumin (α-LA) is a globular protein that binds to hydrophobic ligands and has been used as a functional ingredient in the food industry. In this study, the interaction between two types of saponins (dammarane-type and oleanane-type) and α-LA was investigated using computer simulations, and their interaction patterns were imaged. The molecular docking results showed that each type of saponins binds to amino acid residues within the active pocket of α-LA via hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. However, dammarane-type saponins are more complex in structure, providing more binding sites, and they form hydrogen bonds via greater force.

    A small amount of bacterial spores with strong tolerance still exist in raw milk after sterilization and can multiply under certain conditions, causing a serious impact on product quality and consumer health. In this study, raw milk samples containing Bacillus were collected to isolate aerobic Bacillus and thermophilic aerobic Bacillus. The isolates obtained were identified based on their morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular biological characteristics, and the heat resistance of the isolated thermophilic aerobic Bacillus was studied. Results showed that 10 strains of Bacillus were isolated from the milk samples, of which three were thermophilic aerobic Bacillus and seven were aerobic Bacillus. Among them, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus clausii could tolerate heat treatment at 115 ℃ for 15 min. All Bacillus in raw milk could be killed by heat treatment at 121 ℃ for 20 min which decreased the number of spores by four orders of magnitude. The dominant Bacillus species in raw milk were Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus circulans, Bacillus gelatini, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus coagulans, and Bacillus clausii. Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus clausii had stronger heat resistance and could tolerate heat treatment at 115 ℃ for 15 min.

    Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and lactoperoxidase are bioactive components with high thermal sensitivity in milk. In this study, the changes in the IgG content and lactoperoxidase activity of milk during pasteurization and shelf-life storage were investigated. The results showed that homogenization temperature below 65 °C and homogenization pressure between 15 and 25 MPa had little effect on the two bioactive substances in milk. The combination of 72–76 ℃ and 15 s better retained the bioactive substances and membrane filtration was more effective than regular pasteurization in reducing the microbial load of milk. The IgG content and lactoperoxidase activity in pasteurized milk did not decrease significantly with storage time; however, long-term exposure to light could cause partial inactivation of lactoperoxidase in products with transparent packaging.

    Probiotics have been extensively researched for their health advantages, but their poor stability and viability prevent them from being used in foods and medicine on a larger scale. Compared with probiotics, postbiotics have the advantages of higher safety and stability in its existing form, which avoids the limitation of probiotics. In 2021, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics defined postbiotics as preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host including bacterial components and metabolites, such as cell-free supernatant, cell lysate, extracellular polysaccharide, peptidoglycan, short-chain fatty acids, and organic acids. Postbiotic components exhibit varying beneficial effects on the host, such as regulating immunity and lipid metabolism, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and antibacterial activities, and on product processing as an antibacterial, stabilizing and emulsifying agent. This paper provides an overview of the methods for separating, preparing and identifying postbiotics. It also summarizes the potential functional characteristics of probiotics, their processing characteristics in dairy products and their potential application value. This review provides a theoretical basis for the application of postbiotics as good raw materials in the medical and food fields.

    Coconut milk contains a lot of fat, so addition of coconut milk will have a great influence on the texture, flavor and stability of fermented products. The effects of different amounts of coconut milk (20%–60%) on the quality of coconut yogurt were studied in terms of its fermentation rate, texture properties, rheological properties and shelf life stability. The results showed that the fermentation rate was faster when more than 40% coconut milk was added. The centrifugation test and the Lumisizer stability analysis showed that coconut yogurt with more than 40% coconut milk had a good stability without syneresis or precipitation. Yogurt with 40%–50% coconut milk had moderate hardness, slightly pasty and smooth mouthfeel. After stirring, the viscosity of the product decreased, making it convenient to be drunk. Therefore, yogurt with 40%–50% coconut milk (containing 12%–15% fat) had good quality.

    Human milk contains various types of vitamin A (VA), such as retinol, β-carotene, β- cryptoxanthin, α-carotene, lycopene and lutein. The content of VA is different among colostrum, transitional milk and mature milk, but it generally decreases with the duration of lactation. For instance, the content of retinol, the most abundant type of VA in human milk, is 478–1 920, 440–1 270 and 178–825 mg/L in colostrum, transition milk and mature milk, respectively. The VA content in human milk is not only affected by lactation time, but also related to regions, the diet of lactating mothers, the fat content of human milk, etc. This paper summarizes the types, contents, influential factors and health effects (visual health, immune health, growth and development, etc.) of VA in breast milk from different countries and regions, in order to provide a basis for the development of infant formula milk powder.

    The composition and content of amino acids in infant formula sold in China were investigated in comparison with human milk at different lactation stages. An amino acid analyzer was used to detect the contents of free and hydrolyzed amino acids in commercial infant formula, and total amino acid content and the proportion of individual amino acids were calculated. The results showed that free amino acids were detected in some of the 12 samples, while hydrolyzed amino acids were detected in all these samples. The average concentration of most amino acids was close to that of human milk at 1 to 60 d of lactation, and higher than that of human milk at 61 to 180 d. The average ratio of essential to total amino acids was 46.43%, which was close to that of human milk. The proportions of methionine and tryptophan to total amino acids were higher than those of human milk, the proportions of arginine and cystine to total amino acids were lower than those of human milk, and the proportion of other amino acids to total amino acids was close to that of human milk. This study reveals the difference in amino acid content between commercial infant formula and human milk.

    Effect of Thermal Processing on the Secondary Structure and Antigenicity of Bovine Milk αs1-Casein
    WEI Jiaqi, ZHOU Shengyun, CONG Yanjun, YAN Wenjie
    Journal of Dairy Science and Technology    2022, 45 (4): 29-35.   DOI: 10.7506/rykxyjs1671-5187-20220508-028
    Abstract206)   HTML5)    PDF (3099KB)(358)       Save
    To investigate the effect of thermal processing on the conformation and antigenicity of bovine milk αs1-casein, the changes in the immunogenicity of αs1-casein under different heating conditions were analyzed by indirect competitive enzyme immunosorbent assay (icELISA) and Western blotting (WB) methods, and then the secondary structure changes were analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy using 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) as a probe and circular dichroism spectroscopy to preliminarily reveal the regulatory mechanism of heat treatment on the antigenicity of αs1-casein. The results showed that the α-helix content of αs1-casein significantly decreased after treatment at 80 ℃ for 60 min, 90 ℃ for 10 min or 90 ℃ for 60 min compared with the untreated control, whereas the random coil content increased significantly after treatment at 70 ℃ for 20 min, 80 ℃ for 20 min or 90 ℃ for 20 min. The surface flourescence intensity was the strongest after heating treatment at 70-100 ℃ for 20 min, while the secondary structure changes were not significant under other heating conditions. The conformational changes of αs1-casein led to a significant decrease in the antigenicity of αs1-casein. The icELISA showed that the residual antigenicity of αs1-casein was the highest after heating treatment at 70-100 ℃ for 20 min, while the WB results showed that αs1-casein still had immunoreactive properties under all heating conditions. It is suggested to further reveal the regulatory mechanism of heat treatment on the antigenicity of αs1-casein through animal tests.

    A Review of Technologies for Aflatoxin Detection in Milk and Dairy Products
    YANG Fan, HUANG Jianhui, CHEN Chen, GUAN Shuhui, LIU Guangpeng, ZHANG Yan
    Journal of Dairy Science and Technology    2023, 46 (3): 46-51.   DOI: 10.7506/rykxyjs1671-5187-20230331-015
    Abstract127)   HTML13)    PDF (1813KB)(350)       Save
    Aflatoxins (AFTs) is a group of secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, which has stable physicochemical properties. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), and aflatoxin M2 (AFM2) are the common analogues of AFT, with AFB1 being the most toxic and widespread one. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization has classified AFB1 as a Group 1 carcinogen. When cows eat contaminated feedstuffs such as peanut, corn, rice, soybean and wheat, some of the AFTs are converted in the body into AFM1, and AFM2, which can exist in milk and dairy products. This paper compares the difference between Chinese and international limits for AFTs in foods, and summarizes the methods for detecting aflatoxin in milk and dairy products such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC), mass spectrometry (MS), spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and rapid test strips. This paper analyzes the advantages and limitations of these methods and predicts future directions in the development of aflatoxin detection technology in milk and dairy products. It is hoped that this review will help in the development of a more convenient, specific, and sensitive detection method for aflatoxin in milk and dairy products.

    Effect of Centrifugal Pump and Screw Pump at Different Temperatures on the Quality of Cream
    CHEN Zhijie
    Journal of Dairy Science and Technology    2022, 45 (5): 22-26.   DOI: 10.7506/rykxyjs1671-5187-20220406-019
    Abstract165)   HTML2)    PDF (3227KB)(347)       Save
    In this study, the effect of using centrifugal or screw pumps to deliver cream at different temperatures for ultra-high temperature (UHT) sterilization on the physicochemical quality of cream was investigated. It turned out that delivering cream at 10 ℃ by a centrifugal pump caused fat aggregation and precipitation and significantly reduced viscosity compared to delivering it at 60 ℃ or by a screw pump. The particle size of cream delivered at 10 ℃ by the centrifugal pump was the largest and most uneven, and the particle size of cream delivered at 60 ℃ by the centrifugal pump, at 10 ℃ and 60 ℃ by the screw pump were close. The particle size of cream delivered at 60 ℃ by the centrifugal pump was the most homogeneous. The whipping rate and hardness of cream delivered at 60 ℃ by the two pumps were close to each other, while cream delivered at 10 ℃ by the screw pump had the lowest whipping rate. Cream delivered at 10 ℃ by the centrifugal pump could not be whipped even after being churned for a long time. There was a significant difference in the microstructure but not the fatty acid composition of the four cream samples. Fat globules in cream delivered at 60 ℃ were small and dense while those in cream delivered at 10 ℃ were large and sparse, indicating that cream at low temperature is prone to aggregation caused by shear, resulting in fat aggregation and affecting cream quality. This finding is consistent with the particle size results.

    This study analyzed the effect of season on the nutrient and fatty acid composition of yak milk. Yak milk samples from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in summer and winter (n = 18, each) were selected for this study. Results showed that the contents of protein, lactose, non-fat milk solid, ash, vitamin A and main trans fatty acids (trans-9 C18:1 and trans-9,12 C18:2 n-6) were significantly lower in winter than in summer (P < 0.05), while the contents of fat and main fatty acids (C16:0, C17:0, C18:0, cis-9 C16:1, cis-9 C18:1 and cis-9,12 C18:2 n-6) in yak milk were significantly higher in winter than in summer. This suggests that the nutrient and fatty acids composition of yak milk from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are influenced by season.

    Abstract323)   HTML4)    PDF (3553KB)(345)       Save
    Cow’s milk is rich in protein, fat, and other high-quality nutrients, which is an important nutritional source for infants. On the other hand, milk protein is the main factor inducing food allergy in infants and young children. In this study, five kinds of commercially available infant milk powder were selected for static digestion in vitro. The digestive stability of proteins in the five kinds of milk powder was analyzed by electrophoresis and degree of hydrolysis measurement. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate the antigenicity of whey protein in milk powder. The results showed that α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin showed good digestive stability in samples 1, 2, and 4. After gastrointestinal digestion, the antigenicity of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin decreased in sample 1 but increased in sample 2. The antigenicity of α-lactalbumin increased, while that of β-lactoglobulin decreased in sample 4. Both allergens had lower digestion stability in sample 3 and 5. The antigenicity of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin increased in sample 5. The antigenicity of α-lactalbumin increased while that of β-lactoglobulin decreased in sample 3.

    Abstract133)   HTML7)    PDF (1466KB)(322)       Save
    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.

    Abstract193)   HTML4)    PDF (4776KB)(284)       Save
    In this study, the effect of dual-enzyme hydrolysis on the allergenicity of the major proteins in skimmed milk was evaluated based on the degree of hydrolysis, molecular mass distribution, immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding capacity and allergic patients’ serum IgE binding capacity of hydrolysates. The results showed that after one-step hydrolysis for 80 min at an enzyme/substrate ratio of 3 000 U/g and an Alcalase to Flavourzyme ratio of 3:1, the IgG binding capacity of casein, α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulinin in skimmed milk decreased significantly by 74.93%, 97.24% and 93.46%, respectively (P < 0.05).The advanced structure of proteins was damaged, leading to an increase in the α-helical and β-turn contents, and a decrease in the β-sheet content. In addition, the free sulfhydryl content increased significantly to 14.29 μmol/g (P < 0.05), the surface hydrophobicity also increased, and the structure became loose. The particles in skimmed milk were aggregated, causing the average particle size to increase significantly to 346.90 nm (P < 0.05) and reducing the stability of skimmed milk. The binding capacity to serum IgE from patients with milk allergy of the enzymatic hydrolysate decreased significantly by 23.53% (P < 0.05), and the overall allergenicity decreased significantly by 69.60% (P < 0.05). Therefore, dual-enzyme hydrolysis is an effective method to reduce the allergenicity of skimmed milk.

    The effects of Alcalase (AT), Protamex (PT) or Flavorzyme (FT) treatment on the antigenicity and molecular mass distribution of proteins, flavor and color of skim milk were investigated by using various techniques such as indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and Tricine-sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Tricine-SDS-PAGE). The results showed that the effect of AT treatment on reducing the antigenicity of the major milk allergens was significantly better than that of PT and FT treatment (P < 0.05). The antigenicity of α-lactalbumin (α-LA), β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and casein (CN) was inhibited by 64.01%, 76.00% and 69.10% by AT treatment for 20 min at an enzyme/substrate ratio of 500 U/g, respectively. The amount of low molecular mass peptides in skim milk increased significantly after treatment with each of the three enzymes. The bitterness, astringency, aftertaste of bitterness (aftertaste-B) and aftertaste of astringency (aftertaste-A) increased with increasing enzymatic treatment time and with increasing enzyme/substrate ratio. The taste of FT-treated milk was better than that of AT- or PT-treated milk. The brightness value of milk decreased significantly, while the redness value increased significantly after enzymatic treatment (P < 0.05). The transmittance increased as well. The color of skim milk treated by AT was more similar to that of whole milk.

    In order to investigate the effects of tea polyphenols on the conformation and antigenicity of αs1-casein, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and epigallocatechin (EGC), tea polyphenols with high bioactivity, were used for grafting onto αs1-casein. The conformational changes of αs1-casein were studied by fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and the changes in the antigenicity of αs1-casein were analyzed by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and Western blot assay. The results showed that EGC and EGCG both quenched the fluorescence of αs1-casein, and affected the Tyr and Trp residues of αs1-casein. The α-helix and β-sheet contents of αs1-casein increased slightly, and the random coil content decreased slightly. The conformational change of αs1-casein resulted in a significant decrease in the antigenicity of αs1-casein. The effect of EGCG on the conformation and antigenicity of αs1-casein was stronger than that of EGC.

    In this study, casein was hydrolyzed with seven food-grade proteases, including flavourzyme, trypsin, chymotrypsin, alkaline protease, papain, bromelain, and neutral protease and the allergenicity of the resultant hydrolysates was assessed using a serum pool of patients with milk allergy. Moreover, the molecular mass distribution, degree of hydrolysis and residual epitope information were evaluated in order to select the most suitable protease for the production of casein products with reduced allergenicity. The results showed that under the same conditions, the binding ability of casein to specific antibodies decreased to the greatest extent after being treated with chymotrypsin or flavourzyme, so they could be used as a candidate protease for the preparation of subsequent hypoallergenic casein hydrolysates. The results of T-cell epitope prediction and analysis of casein hydrolysates showed that only one T-cell epitope peptide consisting of more than nine amino acids LHSMKEGIHAQQK remained after chymotrypsin hydrolysis of casein.

    With the development of China, children’s cheese has garnered increasing attention in the dairy industry, which has become a new growth point of China’s dairy industry. However, children’s cheeses currently available on the market are uneven, which cannot be fortified completely according to children’s nutritional needs. Their tastes are similar and their selling points are the same, which causes the public’s sensory fatigue and also go against consumers’ pursuit of clean label. Thus, the development of the children’s cheese industry is facing new challenges. In this paper, from the perspectives of children’s health and cheese nutrition, we link the needs of children of different ages for nutrition, flavor and texture with the nutrition, flavor and texture of cheese. The present situation, challenges and possible development directions of children’s cheese food in China are summarized.
