Use of smart nose and GC/MS/O analysis to defi ne volatile fi ngerprint of a goatskin bag cheese “Bouhezza”
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the suitability of a multiple strain SLAB/NSLAB culture on the final characteristics of
PDO Pecorino Siciliano cheese produced in several areas of Sicily different for pedoclimatic conditions, sheep breed, pasture and dairy farmer.
Improvement of Dairy Farms Management of Appenino Campano Area Producing Milk: “Nobilat”
The aims of the present study were: (i) to explore the microbial community of biofilms collected from 11 different Tinas of Hyblean area of Sicily and of milk samples both inoculated and incubated with biofilm; (ii) to identify the VOCs generated in the incubated milk samples; and (iii) to correlate the VOCs formation with the detection f LAB species.
Stage of lactation and corresponding diets affect in situ protein degradation by dairy cows
Our objectives were (1) to measure and compare in situ ruminal CP degradation parameters and RUP of selected protein sources and TMR samples in dairy cows fed diets for 3 stages of lactation, and (2) to determine the hydrolysis time needed for an in vitro Streptomyces griseus procedure that would generate extent of undegraded CP corresponding to in situ RUP
measurements.
Volatile profile differences between spontaneous and cultivated Hyblean pasture
This study was conducted to investigate and detect differences in aroma-active compounds found in the forage of two Hyblean pasture types: cultivated vs. spontaneous.
Aromatic and Nutraceutic Components in “Nobilat” Milk Produced in Appennino Campano Area
The scope of this study was to analyze aromatic and nutritional properties of raw and pasteurized “Nobilat” milk from Appennino Campano (Castelpagano, Campania Region) area and to compare it with high milk quality ones.
Effect of Sicilian pasture feeding management on content of α-tocopherol and β-carotene in cow milk
The aim of the present study was to investigate quality of spontaneous and cultivated pastures and pasture feeding management on Sicilian dairy farms during spring by evaluating α-tocopherol and β-carotene contents of pasture milk under ordinary Sicilian farming conditions.
A multilevel model with clustered management practices differentiating dairy herd environments in southeastern Sicily
The objective was to evaluate a methodology where herd environmental opportunity is specified as afunction of inputs administered through practices ascertained from herd manager interviews comparing it with the frequently-usedHYSD criterion ignoring this causal information.
Consumers ability to discern food quality under blind conditions
This study aims to investigate consumers ability to discern food product quality in absence of information compared to mass products. What affects consumers milk preference and attitude is quality, in absence of information as well as products awareness. Therefore, the sector needs to highlight quality characteristics in marketing strategies.
Variability of volatile profiles in milk from the PDO Ragusano cheese production zone
Native pasture has been shown to have a strong influence on the sensory characteristics of dairy products. However, few studies have been carried out on milk flavor profiles. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of cows’ pasture-based feeding on milk volatile profile.
A survey of fat-soluble antioxidants, linolenic acid and conjugated linoleic acid content of traditional Algerian Bouhezza cheese
The aim of this study was to characterize the composition of healthy beneficial molecules in Bouhezza cheese. Raw milk quality and production technology might explain the variations of healthy beneficial molecules content in Bouhezza cheese samples.
