Antioxidant capacity of milk is largely due to vitamins A, E, carotenoids, zinc, selenium, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and enzyme systems. Cow has antioxidant while the buffalo been studied in a limited way. The information regarding effect pasteurization boiling on cow also scared. was exposed two different heat treatments i.e. 65 °C for 30 min 1 min. After treatments, samples were cooled down 4 packaged transparent 250 ml polyethylene PET bottles stored at 6...
The current rate of population growth is so fast that, to feed this massive population, a 2-fold increase in land required for the production quality food. Improved dietary products such as milk and its with antioxidant properties functional foods animal origin have been utilized prevent chronic diseases. designer contains low fat less lactose, more protein, modified level fatty acids, desired amino acid profiles. importance due presence bioactive peptides, conjugated linoleic acid, omega-3...
Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) is known as power house of omega fatty acids which has great health benefits. It contains up to 78% linolenic acid (ω-3) and 18% linoleic (ω-6), could be a source omega-3 for functional foods. Therefore, in this study, margarines were prepared with supplementation different concentrations chia oil enhance acids, antioxidant characteristics oxidative stability the product. Margarines formulated from non-hydrogenated palm oil, kernel butter. supplemented 5, 10, 15...
Background and Objectives: Septic arthritis (SA) is an orthopedic emergency mainly caused by bacteria. SA due to Esche- richia coli (E. coli) rare with a poor prognosis. This study aimed assess the occurrence antibiotic resistance patterns of E. in patients Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted from March 2021 December 2023. 220 samples were collected tertiary care hospitals.

Potential probiotic bacteria can be used as a biotherapeutic agent and sustainable alternative to antibiotics, an anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic without causing any serious side effects. Mostly human-friendly Lactic acid (LAB) have been isolated from the animal-human origin agents or produce useful metabolites (nutraceutical). However, less information is known about role of medicinal plants associated LAB agents. The isolation 115 Lactobacillus strains was done rhizosphere...
Ripening of cheddar cheese is a time taking process, duration the ripening may be as long one year. Long big hindrance in popularity developing countries. Further, energy resources these countries are either insufficient or very expensive. Therefore, those methods should discovered which can significantly reduce without compromising quality characteristics cheese. In accelerated ripening, usually ripened at higher temperature than traditional temperatures. high with addition vitamin E and...
Among the dietary lipids, milk fat is most complicated as it contains more than one hundred types of fatty acids and several triglycerides. Huge versatility in triglyceride composition makes possible to convert into various fractions on basis melting characteristics. Functional properties can be increased by converting different fractions. After cow milk, buffalo second largest source chemical characteristics has been studied a limited fashion. The main mandate was determination...
Effect of supplementing cheddar cheese with chia oil on omega fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and lipolysis was investigated. Milk fat partially replaced oil, i.e., 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10% (T1, T2, T3, T4). Cheese prepared from 100% milk served as control, ripened at 6 °C for 90 days. Concentration α-linolenic acid in control T3 0.51 12.55%. HPLC characterization revealed the concentrations chlorogenic acid, caffeic quercetin, glycoside-k, glycoside-Q were 0.15, 0.26, 0.62, 1.55, 1.97 mg/mL....
Abstract Background In the manufacturing of set yoghurt, after reaching 4.6 pH, post fermentation cooling is applied to stop bacterial activity. Depending upon required textural and flavor attributes, one phase two patterns are accordingly selected. cooling, temperature yoghurt rapidly decreased below 10 °C using blast freezing then it gradually dropped 4-5 °C. yogurt less than 20 These phases have a significant impact on perspectives yoghurt. It necessary study industrially adopted fatty...
In many developing countries, milk chilling facilities are not available on the farm where is produced, rather these located at distance of 10-12 km. After milking, it takes about 2-3 h to reach facilities. The then chilled and transported processing plants for thermal value addition. shelf life pasteurized only 3 days, as compared 7-10 days in developed countries. factors which responsible shorter should be discovered improvement dairy sectors magnitude chemical changes place un-chilled...
Background: Wound infection is the cause of mortality and morbidity on a global scale. Microorganisms infecting wounds can multiply colonize in wound, resulting host tissue damage. Objectives: The present study was conducted to identify Proteus mirabilis patients Quetta district. Methods: This from June 2017 2018 at Center for Advanced Studies Vaccinology Biotechnology, University Balochistan, Quetta. Overall, 480 different wound samples were collected admitted Bolan Medical Complex...
Buffalo milk is the second largest source of on globe, it highly suitable for preparation mozzarella cheese, however, not cheddar cheese due to high buffering capacity, low acid development, excessive syneresis, lower lipolysis that lead sensory score. Accelerated ripening can enhance and improve characteristics cheese. Lipolysis antioxidant capacity buffalo in conventional previously studied. Optimization conditions better utilization industry. Effect accelerated properties cow were...
Aim of the present study was to isolate, identify and characterize new indigenous Lactobacillus strains with probiotic potential against Salmonella Enteritidis.From 84 isolated lactobacilli poultry origin, 15 isolates were pre-selected for in vitro characterization on basis their activity (6.33±0.57-20.33±1.15mm) S. Enteritidis by well diffusion assay.All had variable tolerance acidic pH (2, 3 4).All also showed growth MRS broth supplemented 0.3, 1 1.8% bile salts.Isolates varying degree...
Probiotics are useful in modulating and strengthening the gut microbiota.Present study was designed to determine effect of three previously characterized probiotic lactobacilli i.e.L. fermentum IKP 23, L. 111 salivarius 333 on histomorphology small intestine D-xylose absorption capacity broiler challenged with S. enteritidis.Negative control group not supplemented probiotics.Positive groups received only challenge bacteria (S. enteritidis) ATCC 13076 at day 07.Groups (3, 4 5) probiotics...
White leghorn layer (n=2740), with 85weeksof age, were submitted to forced molting by fasting for 13 days and changes in body characteristics subsequent laying performance during second cycle evaluated. Live weight (LBW),ovary (OW), oviduct (OvW) length (OvL) measured before after fasting.
