Bulletin of the IDF N° 428/ 2008: Determination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content by gas-liquid chromatography in milk fat from Enriched products – Interlaboratory collaborative studies
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have been shown to lower the risk of coronary heart disease. As a result, milk and different dairy products, including infant formula, supplemented with or naturally enriched in omega-3 fatty acids, are now available on the market. A reliable method to evaluate the real content of these nutrients has been […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 427/2008: Towards A Reference System For Somatic Cell Counting In Milk
Somatic cell count is a main indicator of udder health in lactating animals. The direct microscopic method (DMSCC) is the reference method, and offically recognized as such for the calibration of automated somatic cell counting equipment. The first paper, the interlaboratory collaborative study, has established the precision (repeatability, r, and reproducibility, R) of the reference […]
