There is an increasing interest in specialty milk products such as soymilk, cholesterol free/lactose free (CFLF) milk and organic milk. While the market shares of these milk types are still small, specialty milk consumption is one of the fastest growing consumer segments in the dairy industry. Therefore, it is of interest to producers, consumers as well as the policy-makers to identify the consumer profile of these products and to determine policies based on the consumer choices. In the article, there are utilised the actual consumer sales data to see whether the USDA's dairy policy follows the consumers' milk preferences. The results indicate that the household demographics significantly affect milk preferences. Race is by far the most striking factor in the consumers' decision process. Minority households have a much higher probability of purchasing specialty milk types than the white households. They are also loyal customers of the specialty milk types and are less responsive to the changes in factors that affect their purchase decision. Based on these findings, there is recommend an alternative policy to the USDA's one-size-fits-all type of dairy guidelines.

Volatility spillover between oil and agricultural commodity markets
NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN; ERDEM, CUMHUR; Soytaş, Uğur (Elsevier BV, 2013-03-01)
This study examines volatility transmission between oil and selected agricultural commodity prices (wheat, corn, soybeans, and sugar). We apply the newly developed causality in variance test and impulse response functions to daily data from 01 January 1986 to 21 March 2011. In order to identify the impact of the food price crisis, the data are divided into two sub-periods: the pre-crisis period (01 January 1986 to 31 December 2005) and the post-crisis period (01 January 2006-21 March 2011). The variance cau...
Release and characterization of beta-galactosidase from lactobacillus plantarum
Kara, Fırat; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
The enzyme, β-galactosidase (E.C.3.2.1.23) has been used for dairy industry for removing lactose from milk and milk by-products. In this study, three strains namely L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, L. plantarum DSM 20246 and L. plantarum E081 were used for β-galactosidase release by sonication method. The peak of the total enzyme activity was found to be corresponding to late logarithmic or early stationary phase of all strains. As a disruption method sonication was used for the release of β-galactosidase. Meanwhil...
Challenges in dried whey powder production: Quality problems
Özel, Barış; McClements, David Julian; Arikan, Cagatay; Kaner, Ozlem; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2022-10-01)
© 2022 Elsevier LtdWhey is a high nutritional value by-product of the dairy industry. It is generally produced in large quantities and its disposal as wastewater poses environmental risks. For this reason, whey streams are used for the production of value-added products such as dried whey powders. However, there are several challenges related to whey processing that lead to low powder yield and quality, especially caking. These challenges can be addressed by optimization of product formulation and processin...
Total Antioxidant Capacity and Phenolic Content of Pasteurized and UHT-Treated Cow Milk Samples Marketed in Turkey
Ertan, Kübra; Gökçe, Özge; Alatossava, Tapani; Yılmaz, Yusuf; Gürsoy, Oğuz (2017-07-01)
In this study, UHT-treated (a total of 39 samples with 17 full-fat, 17 semi-fat and 5 skim milk) and pasteurized (5 full-fat) milk samples from different trademarks were obtained from national market chains, which constitute the majority of the Turkey’s pasteurized and UHT milk market. Total antioxidant capacities and phenolic contents of milk samples were determined by the 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) methods, respectively. Mean total phenolic con...
Kinetic analysis of aspergillus oryzae cultivations on starch
Bayındırlı, Alev; UNGAN, S (Informa UK Limited, 1991-01-01)
Cultivation of Aspergillus oryzae on starch is described as a combination of two rate processes: Starch hydrolysis and the cellular activities of the fungi including growth, enzyme production and maintenance. Kinetic models are presented to describe growth, enzyme production, starch hydrolysis and uptake of the hydrolysis products. Numerical values of the model parameters indicated that the rate controlling step of A. oryzae growth on starch was not starch hydrolysis, but the substrate uptake process. Gluco...
