Abstract
Triacylglycerols (TAG) play several nutritional, technological, and functional roles in the dairy industry, representing approximately 98 % of milk fat. In the present study, the total fatty acid composition and the sn-2 fatty acid positional distribution of bovine and goat milk powders fat were analyzed by using the gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Furthermore, the identification of TAG molecular species from milk powders was conducted using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). The separation of milk TAG was accomplished by using isopropanol/acetonitrile (90:10, v/v) as mobile phase A, and water/acetonitrile (60:40, v/v) as mobile phase B. Myristic, palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids were identified as the most abundant fatty acids making up 11.55 and 10.71 %, 33.23 and 30.64 %, 10.86 and 12.52 %, and 26.74 and 21.80 % in the bovine and goat milk powders, respectively. In bovine milk, 221 molecular species of TAG were identified, with the predominant molecular species (LaCyO, CaLaPa, CyPaM, OCaCa, CaGCy, GLaCo) detected at a retention time of 6.362 min, with a relative abundance of 8.28 %. In goat milk, 202 molecular species were identified, with the major molecular species (CaLaM, CaPCa, CaCyS, CaCoAra, CaBuBe, LaPCy, LaCoS, LaBuAra, MPCo, MCyM, MBuS, PBuP, CyCoBe) detected at a retention time of 6.106 min, making up 8.14 % of the total TAG detected. These results provide valuable insights into milk fat composition for the dairy sector, aiding in the development of specialized dairy products.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
