“…The level of biotin in milk ranges from 21 to 43 ng.mL −1 (Higuchi et al 2003). Hirano et al (1991) reported that the biotin content in colostrum was low initially (5.1 ng.mL −1 ) but increased with the progression of lactation, which is in agreement with the findings of Indyk et al (2014).…”

Colostrum is the initial milk secreted by mammals following parturition, the composition and physicochemical properties of which are highly dynamic and variable. The composition and physicochemical properties of colostrum during the initial postpartum period has not been systematically reviewed for many years, although the topic remains of interest both to milk producers and processors. In this article, the current understanding of the composition of colostrum, i.e. carbohydrates, proteins, growth factors, enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, nucleotides and nucleosides, cytokines, fats, vitamins and minerals, is reviewed. In addition, the physicochemical properties, i.e. pH and buffering capacity, colour, density and specific gravity, osmotic pressure, somatic cell count, properties of casein micelles, ethanol stability and rennet coagulation properties are discussed, as well as the effects of heat-treating colostrum.
