A new type of cow’s milk, called A2 milk, has appeared in the dairy aisles of supermarkets in recent years. Cows’ milk generally contains two major types of beta-casein as A1 and A2 types, although there are 13 genetic variants of β-casein: A1, A2, A3, A4, B, C, D, E, F, H1, H2, I and G. Studies have shown that A1 β-casein may be harmful, and A2 β-casein is a safer choice for human health especially in infant nutrition and health. The A2 cow milk is reportedly easier to digest and better absorb than A1 or other types of milk. The structure of A2 cow’s milk protein is more comparable to human breast milk, as well as milk from goats, sheep and buffalo. Digestion of A1 type milk produces a peptide called β-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7), which is implicated with adverse gastrointestinal effects on milk consumption. In addition, bovine milk contains predominantly αs1-casein and low levels or even absent in αs2-casein, whereby caprine milk has been recommended as an ideal substitute for patients suffering from allergies against cow milk protein or other food sources. Since goat milk contains relatively low levels of αs1-casein or negligible its content, and αs2-casein levels are high in the milk of most dairy goat breeds, it is logical to assume that children with a high milk sensitivity to αs1-casein should tolerate goat milk well. Cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) is considered a common milk digestive and metabolic disorder or allergic disease with various levels of prevalence from 2.5% in children during the first 3 years of life to 12–30% in infants less than 3 months old, and it can go up to even as high as 20% in some countries. CMPA is an IgE-mediated allergy where the body starts to produce IgE antibodies against certain protein (allergens) such as A1 milk and αs1-casein in bovine milk. Studies have shown that ingestion of β-casein A1 milk can cause ischemic heart disease, type-1 diabetes, arteriosclerosis, sudden infant death syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, etc. The knowledge of bovine A2 milk and caprine αs2-casein has been utilized to rescue CMPA patients and other potential disease problems. This knowledge has been genetically applied to milk production in cows or goats or even whole herds of the two species. This practice has happened in California and Ohio, as well as in New Zealand, where this A2 cow milk has been now advanced commercially. In the USA, there have been even promotions of bulls, whose daughters have been tested homozygous for the A2 β-casein protein.

This research was conducted to study the key physicochemical parameters of samples of raw bovine and goat milk collected in the steppic region of Djelfa. One hundred and six samples of raw milk were collected from April 2018 to May 2018, at points of sale and analyzed. The results showed that cow’s milk had 3.66±0.89% fat, 11.4±1.56% solid not fat, 4.35±0.61% protein, 6.35±0.89% lactose and a density of 1.0360±0.0056 with a freezing point of -0.380±0.053 °C. While goat’s milk had 3.43±0.65% fat, 10.2±0.92% solid not fat, 3.88±0.36% protein, 5.66±0.52% lactose and a density of 1.0317±0.0035 with a freezing point of -0.348±0.044 °C. This proves that cow’s milk has a slightly higher physicochemical quality than goat’s milk. In addition, the present study showed that 100% raw goat milk is wet against 97.1% raw bovine milk. This indicates the presence of cases of fraud requiring disciplinary procedures. Moreover, in the majority of the cases, the storage temperatures of the milk far exceed the values recommended by the Algerian standards (+6°C). It is necessary to establish a program of control and popularization of all the actors of the sector in order to improve the quality and the quantity of raw milk produced.

Cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) becoming a major public health issue that has attracted the attention of health professionals and researchers. This paper aimed to review the important aspects of both IgE and IgG types of cow’s milk protein allergy in terms of prevalence, clinical manifestation, risk factors, other health-related issues and nutritional therapy proposed for such allergies in the adult and pediatric population in Saudi Arabia. A search on “cow’s milk allergy” was done using PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus Engine for published papers between 1993 and 2020 to find studies yielding knowledge on that context. The prevalence of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) among infants is now in the range of 2–3%. This type of allergy is also detected in adulthood but less frequently. CMPA is defined as an immunological reaction to specific proteins in milk. CMPA is classified based on its type as an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated form and an immunoglobulin G (IgG)-mediated form, each type representing different immunological pathways. The presence of Genetic aspects, family history and short duration of breastfeeding in the infant are among the risk factors contributing to this form of allergy. Its manifestations mainly present as skin presentation, followed by the gastrointestinal and respiratory presentation in most cases in addition to a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction that may occur in 12% of cases. food allergy committees have developed strict diagnosis criteria, including blood testing for food-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE), a skin prick test and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges (DBPCFC) as the gold standard. A diet free of cow’s milk protein (CMP) allergen and including the appropriate alternative milk formula is the first line of prevention recommended by many organizations and food allergy experts. As for Saudi Arabia, more research and clinical trials are required to discuss the various aspects of adult and pediatric CMPA and to provide a better understanding along with good control strategies implementation.

Introduction: Regurgitation is a common issue in infants under six months of age who are at risk of esophagitis with excessive frequency and volume. This problem is due, in part, to allergies in the whey protein content in Cow's milk. Objective: The purpose of this research was to examine the connection between Cow's milk consumption and processed products by mothers with regurgitation frequency in infants. Method: This form of study is cross-sectional, with 44 respondents using a purposeful sampling technic in mothers who have children under six months of age. Analysis of data using the Independent t-test test with a nominal scale of data. Result:  The findings showed an average regurgitation frequency was 2.4 times, and the results of the study showed an association between Cow's milk intake and refined goods by mothers with regurgitation in infants under six months with a p-value:0.014. Discussion: Enhanced frequency of regurgitation in mothers who consume Cow's milk and processed foods because of the risk of childhood allergy to the quality of Cow's milk protein, and it is advised that parents be conscious of the frequency of regurgitation due to mother-eaten food.

Immunological estimating of different diet therapy types became currently very important. The aim of this work was to study the changes of immunological biomarkers during usage of formulas based on different sources of protein in children with food allergy and to assess and predict the effectiveness of diet therapy. The study included 66 children with food allergy in age from 1,5 months to 1,5 years. Observed children were divided into three groups depending on the type of formulas used. The dynamics of immunoregulatory substances (IL-5, TGF β 1, IL-10, IL-4, IL-2, IL-13, Eotaxin3), and allergenspecific IgE and IgG antibodies to cow’s milk protein, α-lactoglobulin, β-laktoglobulin, casein, soy and goat’s milk during diet therapy were evaluated. Observation duration was 28-30 days. The differences in the dynamics of the investigated parameters depending on the type of formula were revealed. Thus, the use of formula based on cow’s milk hydrolysates revealed their primarily effect on cytokines IL-2, IL-5 and growth factor TGF β ; the use of formula based on soy protein revealed combined effect on humoral immunity (allergen specific IgE and IgG antibodies) and IL-5; the use of formula based on goat milk characterized decreased levels of allergenspecific IgG antibodies to the cow’s milk protein and its fractions, reduced allergen specific IgE antibody concentrations to cow’s milk protein and α-lactoglobulin, decreased levels of IL-5, and, exclusive for this formula - reduction of IL-4 level. Accordingly, the assessment of immunological biomarkers can be used to personalize diet therapy in children with food allergy.

Abstract Background There are insufficient published data on the prevalence of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in Egypt. Aim of the Work The study aims to estimate the frequency of CMPA among young Egyptian children in a trial to delineate the magnitude of the problem in our population. Methods A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted on 500 young Egyptian children from the general population aged from 6 months to 5 years; 200 males and 300 females. Children were subjected to history taking and clinical examination. Suspected cases with suggestive clinical history of CMPA were subjected to skin prick test (SPT) with standardized cow’s milk protein allergen extract and open oral challenge test (OCT). Results In the present study, 6.2% of screened children had positive clinical history suggestive of CMPA, 35.5% of them had positive SPT and 51.6% had positive OCT. Based on clinical history and OCT, 3.2% were documented to have CMPA, 3% had undocumented CMPA or low probability of CMPA and 93.8% had no CMPA. The highest rate of initial onset of CMPA is seen before the first year of life (96.8%) and 81.3% of children with positive OCT were formula/mixed-fed. The clinical manifestations in infants with suspected CMPA were variable, and the main presenting feature was gastrointestinal tract manifestations (42%). The IgE-mediated CMPA was more common and constituted 56.3% of the CMPA cases. Conclusion The frequency of CMPA among Egyptian children up to 5 years of age is comparable to the reported frequencies worldwide. IgE-mediated CMPA accounts for more than 2/3 of the patients with proven CMPA in this study.

Well-recognized tactic for the management of formula-fed children with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is exclusion of whole cow milk protein and its replacement with extensively hydrolyzed or amino acid formula. One of the most topical issue is the choice of therapeutic formula for a child with CMPA. This article presents information about the clinical manifestations of CMPA and describes the principles of nutrition therapy. All the stages of preparation of adapted therapeutic formula are discussed in detail. It has been shown that the choice of therapeutic formula for a child with CMPA depends on the disease clinical manifestations, their severity, and the presence of comorbid conditions. Current requirements for extensively hydrolyzed formula are reduced to limitations in the size of peptides with immunoreactive properties and indicate the need for evidence of the clinical efficacy of such formula in double-blind placebo-controlled studies.

Whey kefir is an isotonic drink with good quality, because it is most suitable for human and animal body fluids. Scientific information relating to the use of whey through the fermentation process using a kefir starter to see the functional benefits of antihypertensive has not been widely published, therefore this research is important to do. So that they can know and learn the quality of kefir whey against antioxidant and mineral content. This study aims to determine the volume of kefir whey from goat's milk and cow's milk produced by giving different levels of kefir starter. The method used is an experimental study that uses two factors, namely comparing whey kefir goat milk with cow milk whey. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 3 treatments performed 3 replications. The experimental design in this study was a 3x2 factorial design of the independent variable that is, whey kefir using goat's milk and cow's milk was repeated 3 times. 3% KSKO kefir starter (control), 5% KSK kefir starter, 10% KSK2 kefir starter, 15% KSK3 kefir starter. The dependent variable in this study is the laboratory test of antioxidant content, pH, acidity, total lactic acid bacteria. So that this study can be concluded that the volume of kefir whey produced at the addition of different levels of kefir grain to the whey volume of goat milk and cow milk produced is significantly different.

In recent years, demand for products produced with goat milk has been increasing. On the other hand, compared to cow's milk, component and flavour differences in goat milk can cause significant differences in the properties of products produced with goat's milk and affect the acceptability of the product. In this study, it was aimed to compare the antioxidant capacity, rheological and sensory properties of kefir produced with goat milk with those properties of kefir produced of cow milk. In this context, cow milk, goat milk and 1: 1 ratio of cow and goat milk kefir were produced, physico-chemical, rheological and sensory analyses were performed. It was determined that the rheological properties of all kefir samples exhibit pseudoplastic behaviour and are compatible with the power-law model. The apparent viscosity of the kefir produced by the goat milk was lower than cow milk kefir. It was determined that the total antioxidant capacity of goat milk kefir was higher than cow's milk kefir and a and b values were lower in colour. On the other hand, in goat milk kefir, panellists perceived lower consistency and kefir flavour, also its overall acceptability score was lower. The addition of 50% cow's milk to goat's milk influenced the condition of goat's milk. The sensory properties of the mixture milk kefir were similar to the sensory properties of the cow's milk kefir. Although the mixture kefir positive results, it has been concluded that further studies are needed to obtain better consistency and flavour in kefir production from goat milk.

Kefir is one of the fermented beverages which has a distinctive taste from other fermented milk products. Based on the results of several studies concluded that one that affects the quality of kefir is the milk of being used for. The purpose of this study was to examine the comparison of physiochemical quality of kefir made from goat’s milk and cow’s milk. This study used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two treatments and five replications using different milk which was goat’s milk and cow’s milk. Parameters measured were the weight gain of kefir grain (PBBK), ethanol content, the percentage of lactic acid and pH of kefir. The data obtained were analyzed by using the Analysis of Variance and if the treatment was significantly different, then the test continued with the Least Significant Difference (LSD). The results showed that kefir produced with different types of milk showed a significant effect (P <0.05) on pH parameters, lactic acid percentage, and ethanol content, but no significant effect (P>0.05) on the value of PBBK. It can be concluded that the best kefir made of goat milk has characteristics: pH value 3.89, the percentage of lactic acid 0.14; PBBK 26.61%; and 0.72% ethanol content.
