This study reveals the lateral organisation ofthe milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). Using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and a lipid soluble molecule, an exogenous phospholipid and two lectins as fluorescent probes we located triacylglycerols in the core of fat globules and investigated the organisation of the polar lipids and glycoproteins of the MFGM, in situ in milk, Lipid rafts corresponding to the lateral segregation of sphingolipids in liquid-ordered phases surrounded by liquid-disordered domains composed by the glycerophospholipids were observed in the MFGM. These lipid rafts which correspond to rigid sphingolipid-rich domains have a circular shape at room temperature. CLSM experiments revealed that glycoproteins and glycolipids are heterogeneously distributed around fat globules and that they are not located in the lipid rafts. The characterisations performed by in depth thin sectioning of fat globules and in dynamic as a function of time revealed chemical and structural heterogeneities in the MFGM. Schematic 3D and 20 representations of the MFGM are proposed and discussed. The physiological and nutritional consequences of the lateral organisation of polar lipids and glycoproteins in the MFGM are discussed but remain to be elucidated.

“…Camel's milk phospholipids, such as phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (PE), phosphatidyl-choline (PC), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and phosphatidylinositol (PI); proteins, including immunoglobulin are among well studied molecules in this regards [102]. Camel milk has unique immunoglobulin called the VHH (variable heavy heavy) antibodies or nanobodies devoid of the typical light chains present in normal antibodies.…”

“…Confocal laser scanning microscopy, lipophilic probes, and fluorescent lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) were first utilized to investigate the organization of the MFGM in milks from animal species (Evers et al, 2008). With the same confocal technique, Lopez et al (2010b) revealed the heterogeneous organization of the MFGM, especially the lateral structure of polar lipids, glycolipids, and glycoproteins.…”
