processes and defense mechanisms in the newborn [Cavaletto et al., 2006].The stabilizing membrane acts as reactive sorts on the interface between the barriers of milk serum. As such, it can be globule and rate-controlling for a host of physical and of enzymes chemical interactions, e.g., binding mace elements; controlled release of the polar materials products of lipolysis; transfer of milk serum; maintenance of emulsion into stability by prevention of globule fusion; availability of fatty acids and cholesterol for micellar absorption in the small intestine; and destabilization by creaming, clumping, churning, freeze-thaw, and heating, resulting in loosely bound substances into milk transfer serum. Worthy of notice is that the interactions are dynamic.Moreover, it is assumed that the MFGM proteins also possess specific nutritional properties. As such, due to their origin, composition and structure, MFGM polar lipids and proteins could be used as an emulsifier or stabilizer, combining technological and nutritional functionality [Mulder & Walstra, 1974;Anderson & Cawston, 1975;Patton & Keenan, 1975;Patton & Jensen, 1975, 1976Keenan et al., 1983;Mather & Keenan, 1983; McPherson & Kitchen, 1983; Walstra & Jenness, 1984;Keenan & Dylewski, 1985 Bucbheim, 1986;Mather, 1987; Keenan et al., 1988;Keenan & Dylewski, 1995;Keenan & Patton, 1995;Mather & Keenan, 1998;Danthine et al., 2000; Keenan, 2001; Keenan & Mather, 2002; Ollivier--Bousquet, 2002;Lopez et al., 2006Lopez et al., , 2007Sanchez-Juanes et al., 2009;Zamora et al., 2009]. Composition, Properties and Nutritional Aspects of Milk Fat Globule Membrane -a Review Mohamed Mansour El-Loly Dairy Department, National Research Centre, Dokki, Cairo, EgyptKey words: milk fat globule membrane, mammary gland, isolation, structure, stability, nutritional, nutraceuticalIn the last few years, knowledge on the composition and properties of the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) increased significantly. It is now recognized that the MFGM is highly complex in structure and composed of different protein and lipid components with specific technological and nutritional properties. As such, MFGM materials have been isolated and characterized as valuable ingredients for incorporation into new food products. However, MFGM are also sensitive to modification during isolation and processing, and care should be taken to standardize the composition and characteristics of the membrane to maintain its unique properties during application in food products.The MFGM is subject to changes in composition and structure from the moment the fat globule leaves the mammary secretory cell. Upon milk harvesting and further milk handling, further changes to the MFGM take place. Depending on the type and degree of treatment, this may involve different physico-chemical interactions between various membrane components, the loss of membrane components and/or adsorption of components from the milk plasma. However, the effects appear to be variable and dependent on physiological (animal) factors, and much remains ...

The current study focuses on an innovative approach to developing novel processed cheese that has health benefits by adding date syrup (15, 20, and 25%) as a suitable natural material with a distinct flavor of sugar, in addition to its nutritional and functional components. The results showed that the resultant date-syrup-processed cheese (DSPC) was more acceptable (smoother and sweeter) and had improved physico-chemical and rheological properties. There is a gradual increase in the K, total carbohydrate, and iron contents of all DSPC formulations, respectively, upon increasing the percentage of date syrup compared to the control sample (the K especially was at a higher level). On the contrary, there is a greater decrease in the Na and Na/K ratio, whereas there was a slight decrease in the pH, total solids (TS), total protein (TP), ash, and fat when increasing the syrup ratios or progressed storage. Moreover, the different textural parameters of all preparations were in the same trend of decreasing compared to those of the control sample. Finally, DSPC (20%) gained the highest overall score, indicating improved quality and increased nutritional value.
