Many psychrotrophic bacteria contaminating raw milk produce phospholipase that withstands pasteurization and UHT treatments. This enzyme acts on the milk fat globule membrane and exposes triacylglycerides to the action of lipase. Phospholipase production by various isolates of Pseudomonas was investigated. The isolates were cultured aerobically at 8 °C in nutrient broth, McKellar's minimal salts medium, Chrisope's medium, and skim milk. Each strain produced phospholipase during the 50 h incubation. Enzyme production varied significantly (P < 0·001) with strain and growth medium. Strains varied significantly (P < 0·001) in their enzyme production in each medium and during the incubation time as well. Strain, incubation time, and the growth medium significantly influenced (P < 0·001) heat stability of the enzyme activity. Pasteurization reduced the activity, but did not eliminate it in skim milk.

SummaryHeating raw milk at 80 °C for 2·5–20 min was found to result in compositional changes in the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). The yield of protein material increased with the duration of heating, owing to incorporation of skim milk proteins, predominantly β-lactoglobulin, into the membrane. Lipid components of the MFGM were also affected, with losses of triacylglycerols on heating.

SummaryThe amount of damage caused to the milk-fat globule by mechanical agitation of raw milk was assessed by several methods and related to the level of induced lipolysis resulting from the agitation. The results obtained by measuring the amount of ‘free’ fat formed, the percentage of fat in the skim-milk phase after separation, and the increase in the proportion of alkaline phosphatase associated with the skim-milk phase, showed little correlation with the level of lipolysis induced by agitation over a range of conditions. However, the level of induced lipolysis showed good correlation with the amount of lipolysis caused by addition of an exogenous lipase (from Candida cylindraceae) to the agitated milk. It is concluded that classical methods of assessing milk-fat globule damage are unsuitable for predicting the amount of fat available for lipase action and the lipolytic potential of raw milk subjected to mechanical agitation.

Inspired by the heat stability of milk, where fat globules are coated by the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), heat stable liposomes loaded with multivitamins were successfully synthesized from MFGM phospholipid concentrate.

SummaryThe effects of infusing endotoxin and a pathogen into different quarters of the udder of the same cow on the appearance and composition of milk membrane material were studied. Milk membrane was prepared by high-speed centrifugation of skim-milk. In samples from the control quarters only, a very thin layer covering the casein pellet was observed, whereas after the infusions it appeared as an opaque diffuse fluffy layer. The fluffy layer persisted for a maximum of 3 d after endotoxin infusion. A similar layer appeared 14 d after infusion of the pathogen and persisted, in spite of antibiotic treatment, throughout the experiment. From comparisons of (a) milk acid phosphatase activities between infused and control quarters, (b) the protein composition of milk membrane, and (c) morphological observations on the distribution of membrane material in milk, it was concluded that milk membrane originates from leucocytes, cell debris from the mammary gland, and the surface of the milk-fat globule membrane. The relative contribution made by these sources to milk membrane from healthy and infected udders is discussed.

The waste of cellulose in the agro-industry can be reduced by decomposing the cellulose polymer into glucose. This process was carried out by cellulase enzyme (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by cellulolytic bacteria. Bacteria required food as nutrition to survived their life, can be obtained through growth medium or enzyme production medium. Carbon, nitrogen and calcium belong to the essential nutrients contained in growth medium and enzyme production medium. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the addition of carbon, nitrogen and calcium source and the time of incubation on the production of cellulase enzyme from Seratia marcescens KE-B6 bacteria. This research used Completely Randomized Design (RAL) of Factorial Pattern with two factors. The first factor is the type of medium, the first medium is the standard medium (M1) and the second medium is enriched with carbon, nitrogen and calcium sources (M2), the second factor is the incubation time with 5 repetitions. The enzyme production is measured by the reducing sugar method. The data obtained were analyzed using Anova. The results showed that the addition of carbon, nitrogen, and calcium sources and incubation time did not affect the production of cellulase enzyme by Serratia marcescens KE-B6. Keywords: Cellulose, Cellulase enzyme, Serratia marcescens

ABSTRACT Milk spoilage caused by psychrotrophic bacteria and their heat-stable enzymes is a serious challenge for the dairy industry. In many studies, spoilage has been explored based on the simplistic view of undesirable enzymes produced by planktonic cells. Recently, biofilms and quorum sensing (QS) have been suggested as important factors in the deterioration of milk, which opens new avenues for investigation of the processes and challenges. Production and heat stability of enzymes are enhanced in biofilms, mainly because of inherent differences in physiological states and protective shielding by extracellular polymeric substances. QS plays a key role in modulating expression of hydrolytic enzymes and biofilm formation. To date, few studies have been conducted to investigate the complex interplays of enzyme production, biofilm formation, and QS. This review provides novel insights into milk spoilage with particular emphasis on the roles of biofilms and QS and summarizes potential effective strategies for controlling the spoilage of milk.

SummaryThe 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 membrane, 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 the heat treatment alone, independent of the interactions with skim milk proteins.
