Abstract

Myzithra cheese is a traditional Greek whey cheese. Three types of Myzithra cheese were produced from A: 100% whey; B: 90% whey+10% ovine milk and C: 90% whey+10% skimmed ovine milk and were evaluated. The addition of skimmed milk to whey resulted in a new dietary product, containing 9.24% fat, with good quality, a harder texture and higher levels of ash, Ca, Mg and K than those of experimental cheeses A and B. Electrophoretic patterns and HPLC chromatograms of the proteins of Myzithra cheeses revealed the presence or not of αs-CN to the whey cheeses. In addition, SDS-electrophoresis of proteins under special preparation of samples permitted for first time the separation of whey-cheese protein (WP) components that had been denatured during cooking of the whey.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
