In 1929, major dairy cow breeds showed
milkfat ranges from 2.9 to 8.4 percent.
A Nubian doe produces about 1,500 pounds of milk per year with an average
milkfat content of 4 percent.
Fluid milk is categorized in the store by the percentage of fat in the milk, from skim and nonfat, to whole milk, which has had no
milkfat removed.
Milk is very mild in flavor but the richer, creamier, flavor increases as the percentage of
milkfat increases.
The
milkfat particles are small, making it superior to cow's milk for digestibility.
Biomedical studies using animal models have shown that the CLA in
milkfat is among the most potent naturally occurring anti-carcinogens.
Porositiy of whey protein-based microcapsules containing anhydrous
milkfat measured by Gas Displacement Picnometry.
Consider fresh milk and the introduction of
milkfat standard.
Recent studies in animal models provide insight into the possible mechanisms of the cancer fighting properties of
milkfat components such as conjugated linoleic acid, Vaccenic acid, sphingomyelin and 13-methyltetradecanioc acid.
If
milkfat hydrolysis occurs after pasteurization and homogenization, the potential exists to negatively affect frothing, McGregor said.
Even with the deletion of this standard, frozen dairy desserts formulated by replacing
milkfat with vegetable fat may still manufactured, but would be labeled with a common or usual name that is more descriptive to consumers such as "frozen dessert" or "frozen dairy dessert," if the milk solids predominate.
