Changes in structure of the bovine milk fat globule membrane on heating whole milk

The effects of heat-induced interactions between milk fat globule membrane components and skim milk proteins in whole milk on the structure of the membrane were examined by isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation and by using Triton X-100 as a membrane probe. Skim milk components were incorporated into all the lipoprotein fractions separated by density gradient centrifugation. High density complexes, higher in density than those found in the natural milk fat globule mcmbranc, were formed during the heat treatment. Losses of natural membrane polypeptides from the medium and low density lipoproteins were observed on heating. Heating whole milk also altered the rate of release of membrane components by detergent, with decreases in protein released and an increase in phospholipid constituents released. Studies on washed cream indicated that some of the changes in the membrane on heating whole milk occurred due to thc heat treatment alone, independent of the interactions with skim milk proteins.

Comparação entre o método de referência e a análise eletrônica na determinação da contagem de células somáticas do leite bovino Comparison between standard method and electronic analyses for measurement of the bovine milk somatic cell count

Avaliou-se a metodologia eletrônica de determinação da contagem de células somáticas por citometria de fluxo, utilizando-se 48 amostras individuais de leite de vaca da raça Holandesa e cinco amostras de leite de conjunto. A contagem média de células somáticas das amostras individuais foi de 353.000 cel/ml (5,55log cel/ml) usando-se metodologia de referência e 328.000 cel/ml (5,52log cel/ml) usando-se o contador eletrônico. Para amostras de tanque, as médias foram 382.000 cel/ml (5,58log cel/ml) e 329.000 cel/ml (5,52log cel/ml) de CCS, respectivamente, para análise feita por microscopia direta e pelo equipamento eletrônico. Não houve diferença (P>0,05) entre os valores obtidos nas análises realizadas pelo método de referência e pelo analisador eletrônico rápido. Foi avaliada a qualidade das amostras-padrão de origem americana e canadense, por meio da contagem de células somáticas, pelo método de microscopia direta. Os resultados foram comparados aos valores declarados no laudo de análise das amostras, emitidos pelo laboratório fornecedor das amostras-padrão.<br>In order to evaluate the electronic counting of somatic cell count by flow citometry, 48 raw milk samples from Holstein cows and 5 bulk tank samples were analyzed for somatic cells counting. The mean of somatic cells counting (SCC) for raw milk samples were 353,000 cells/ml (5.55log cells/ml) using the standard methods and 328,000 cells/ml (5.52log cells/ml), using electronic equipment. For the bulk tank samples the SCC means were 382.000 cells/ml (5.58log cells/ml) using the direct microscopic and 329.000 cells/ml (5.52log cells/ml) using the electronic equipment. The differences between values obtained by both analytical methods were not significant (P>0.05). Additionally, the quality of the American and Canadian standard samples was evaluated by determination of the SCC, using the reference methods to compare to the results issued by the supplier laboratory
