Abstract
Lipids play pivotal roles in supplying energy and promoting gut health. While yak and buffalo milk are known for their high nutritional values, the lipid compositions of yak colostrum (YC) and buffalo colostrum (BC) remain poorly explored. Here, untargeted lipidomics were applied to analyze YC, BC, and cow colostrum (CC). 546, 353, and 417 differential lipids were identified in the comparisons of YC-CC, BC-CC, and YC-BC, respectively. Compared to CC, YC exhibited a higher content of C18:2, while BC was marked by lower levels of saturated fatty acids. Additionally, specific lipid biomarkers were identified: triacylglycerol (TG) (16:0_10:0_22:6), TG (4:0_12:3_16:0), TG (4:0_8:0_18:2), TG (6:0_6:0_22:6), TG (6:0_8:0_22:6), and TG (6:0_8:0_8:0) were more for YC, while ceramide (Cer) (d19:1_24:1), diacylglycerol (DG) (36:2), hexosyl ceramide (Hex1Cer) (d37:1), TG (40:2e), TG (4:0_12:0_18:2), and zymosteryl (ZyE) (24:7) were biomarkers for BC. These findings provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the use of colostrum in various applications.
期刊介绍:
npj Science of Food is an online-only and open access journal publishes high-quality, high-impact papers related to food safety, security, integrated production, processing and packaging, the changes and interactions of food components, and the influence on health and wellness properties of food. The journal will support fundamental studies that advance the science of food beyond the classic focus on processing, thereby addressing basic inquiries around food from the public and industry. It will also support research that might result in innovation of technologies and products that are public-friendly while promoting the United Nations sustainable development goals.
