The aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera contained a bioactive compounds namely tannins, flavonoids, saponin, alkaloids and terpens. The aqueous extract has high content of total phenolic (340.82 mg/g as gallic acid), In addition to IC 50 of Moringa oleifera extract was 75.82 µg/ml, and therefore the addition of Moringa oleifera extract to yogurt enhances the nutritional value of the resultant yogurt. The aqueous extract exhibited a antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria (S. aureus , E. faecalis and B. cereus), in contrast to Gram negative (E.coli and S. Typhimurium) more resistance to extract of Moringa oleifera. The total solid of yogurt is directly proportional to addition of extract content. A slightly decrease in pH was noticed in yogurt enriched aqueous extract. The use of Moringa oleifera extract at mentioned concentration rates increased significantly curd tension and WHC, in addition to susceptibility of synersis was decrease. The addition of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera enhanced sensory properties of the resultant yogurt. Acetaldehyde and diacetyl increased in yogurt with Moringa oleifera extract, compare with control. Hardness, Adhesiveness and gumminess were significantly higher (P< 0.05) in experimental yogurt made by using different concentration of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera than control. However, the cohesiveness and springiness were significantly lower in samples of experimental yogurt made with different concentration of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera than control.

The aim of this study was to evaluate fig (Ficus carica L.) leaves’ extract (FLE), olive (Olea europaea L.) leaves’ extract (OLE), and their mixture (MLE), to extend the shelf life of pasteurized milk. OLE, FLE, and their mixture MLE (1:1) were added to the pasteurized milk in different concentrations (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6%). Several tests were then conducted to determine the activity of these extracts. The antioxidant activity as IC50 was determined by using DPPH radical assay. FLE showed higher IC50 (30.21 µg/mL) compared to the IC50 of OLE (22.43 µg/mL). Phenolic compounds were identified by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The highest antimicrobial activity was obtained with 0.6% concentration. Organoleptic properties indicated that the addition of these extracts did not affect the sensory properties of pasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk treated with 0.6% of FLE, OLE, and MLE has significantly decreased (p ≤ 0.05) lipase and protease activity during the storage period, at 5 °C. The results indicated that extending the shelf life of pasteurized milk from 5 to 16 days was successfully achieved through using 0.6% of FLE, OLE, and MLE. The combination of the two extracts (MLE) provides an efficient and safe method to prolong the shelf life of pasteurized milk, without altering the properties of pasteurized buffalo milk.

Nine thousand lactations were used in this work to study the phenotypic correlations among milk production and some of chemical constituents of milk of the Egyptian buffaloes. With regard to the milk yield and its components, all of the correlation coefficients were positive and highly significant (P<0.001), with the exception of coefficients between milk at 1 st-lactose and milk at 2 nd-fat (P<0.01). The given milk yields and the percentage of its components showed that all of the correlation coefficients were negative and low, with the exception of those between milk at 1 st-lactose and total solids (r=0.020 and 0.037), respectively, milk at 3 rd-fat and total solids (r=0.066 and 0.004), respectively, milk at 4 th-fat (r=0.002), milk at 5 thprotein and solid non-fat (r=0.037 and 0.271), respectively. A statistically significant (P<0.05) positive correlation between milk at 5 th and lactose (r=0.377*) was recorded. All of the correlation coefficients were positive and highly significant (P<0.001) between daily milk yield and its components, while negative coefficients were noticed among the percentage of fat-protein, lactose and solid non-fat contents (r=-0.131,-0.177 and-0.185), respectively, protein-lactose (r=-0.216), lactose-total solids (r=-0.213).
