Article Abstract

The transmission of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) through food is rare, but can occur through the consumption of raw milk products from animals infected by tick bites. In 2020, France faced a TBEV outbreak linked to the consumption of unpasteurized goat cheese. The aim of this study was to develop and characterize a molecular method for the detection of TBEV in raw milk products based on the recent international standard PR ISO/DIS 16140-4. The TBEV recovery rates varied with the inoculation level and settings. The LOD and LOD of TBEV were 6.40 × 10 genome copies per g or per mL and 2.84 × 10 genome copies per g or per mL, respectively. The percentages of RT-qPCR inhibitions were lower than 75% and the murine norovirus (MNV-1), used as process control, was detected in all samples with a recovery rate higher than 1%, as recommended in ISO 15216. We conclude that the described method is appropriate to detect TBEV in raw milk products for routine diagnosis, and to assess potential health risks.

Investigating microbial and metabolic dynamics in bovine and goat milk during refrigerated storage for 5 days.

Raw milk is commonly stored at 4 °C prior to processing, a practice that can facilitate psychrotrophic proliferation, and milk physicochemical alterations and quality deterioration. This study aimed to elucidate the dynamic changes and interrelationships among microbiota, physicochemical parameters, and metabolite profiles in raw bovine and goat milk during refrigerated storage at 4 °C over a 5-day period. The results showed that both bovine and goat milk exhibited significant increases in bacterial counts, titratable acidity, zeta potential, and protein particle size, alongside decreases in pH and lipid particle size, as well as changes in color during refrigerated storage at 4 °C.

Background: Yak milk casein peptides exhibit promising anti-inflammatory activity, but there is a gap in the study of their anti-inflammatory mechanisms and specific molecular targets.

Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of two novel yak casein-derived peptides, QEPVLGPVRGPFP (QP13) and VYPFPGPIPN (VN10), previously identified via bioinformatics screening.

Methods: An LPS-induced RAW264.

Double-Layer Steamed Milk Custard (DLSMC) is a famous traditional Chinese dessert. This study aimed to analyze the flavor and the changes in metabolites during different stages of DLSMC preparation, including raw buffalo milk, thermo-processing, first and second-layer milk skin formation. Electronic nose and electronic tongue were employed to preliminarily assess the overall flavor characteristics between these stages.
