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 contents of milk samples ranged from 505.46±16.66 to 982.14±168.42 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/L. Statistical results of the ABTS assay indicated that total antioxidant capacities in decreasing order were pasteurized [280.25±7.71 µM Trolox® Equivalent (TE)] > full-fat (240.30±15.71 µM TE) > skim (216.78±4.90 µM TE) > semi-fat (209.81±7.03 µM TE) milk samples. In general, total antioxidant capacity of milk samples determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method increased with an increase in milk fat content. Antioxidant capacity of pasteurized milks determined by both methods was higher than UHT processed milks.

Evaluation of phthalate esters in pasteurized milk samples and their packages by gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (GC-MS)
Şenlik, Damla; Tuncel, Semra; Department of Chemistry (2014)
In this study, the Phthalate Esters, which are specifically Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP), Diethyl Phthalate (DEP), Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Butylbenzyl Phthalate (BBP), Diethlyhexzyl Phthalate (DEHP), and Dioctylphthalate (DOP), were evaluated in the 5 different pasteurized milk samples and their packages that were chosen from the Turkish market. As validated extraction methodology Ultrasound Assisted Dispersive Liquid Liquid Micro Extraction (UA-DLLME) and Ultrasonic Bath Extraction (UBE) were used for the mil...
What are the factors affecting the consumers' milk choices?
Gülseven, Osman (Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2017-01-01)
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 u...
Cleaner production oppotunity assessment for market milk production in Atatürk Orman Çiftliği (AOÇ) facility
Özbay, Arzu; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2003)
In this study, possible cleaner production opportunities for a dairy processing facility are examined, considering the market milk production process. Cleaner production concept and its key tools of implementation were analyzed to build the basis of study. General production process and its resulting environmental loads are discussed by taking possible CP opportunities as the axis of study. A methodology is developed for cleaner production opportunity assessment in Milk Processing Facility of Atatürk Orman ...
Survey of sulfites in wine and various Turkish food and food products intended for export, 2007-2010
Ulca, P.; Ozturk, Y.; Senyuva, H. Z. (2011-01-01)
Surveys were carried out between 2007 and 2010 to determine the total levels of sulfites in 1245 samples of wines, dried apricots, dried vegetables, nuts, juices and purees, frozen foods and cereals containing dried fruit supplied by food inspectors and by food producers for testing or for export certification. Sulfite analysis of wine was carried out using the Ripper method with an LOQ of 5 mg l(-1) and for dried and other foods the Monier-Williams distillation procedure was employed with an LOQ of 10 mg k...
Demand for functional and nutritional enhancements in specialty milk products
Gülseven, Osman (2014-10-01)
This article investigates the socio-demographic determinants affecting the demand for functional and nutritional enhancements in milk products based on a two-stage model. In order to derive the implicit market values of these enhancements, first we estimated the relationship between the prices of differentiated dairy products and the amount or respectively the presence of specific characteristics in these products. Next, using these implicit prices along with the information on households' demographic backg...
