Handbook of Milk of Non-Bovine Mammals
by: Park, Young W. & Haenlein, George F.W.
In developing and under-developed countries, the secondary dairy species
play a crucial role in supplying the food and nutritional needs of the
people in those regions. Due to the unavailability of cow milk and the
low consumption of meat, the milks of minor species such as goat, buffalo,
sheep, and camel are critical daily food sources of protein, phosphate
and calcium. Furthermore, because of important and inherent hypoallergenic
properties, milks of certain species such as goat milk have been recommended
as substitutes in diets for those with cow milk allergies. Editors Park
and Haenlein have assembled dairy and nutrition experts from around the
world to contribute to the Handbook of Milk of Non-Bovine Mammals. Secondary
dairy species addressed are the goat, sheep, buffalo, mare, camel, yak,
deer (reindeer), sow, llama, alpaca, moose, musk ox, caribou, ass, elk,
pinniped, polar bear and human. The book comprehensively covers the most
important aspects of milk production including: trends and methods of
raw milk production in different regions; compositional, nutritional,
therapeutic, physico-chemical, and microbiological characteristics of
the milks; processing technology; and types, distribution and consumption
of the manufactured products from minor species milks. Of special note
is coverage comparing specific human health attributes of milk from the
various species, including nutritional, allergenic, immunological, and
cultural factors. Because secondary dairy species have such a significant
impact on human well-being and survival in many parts of the world, the
Handbook of Milk of Non-Bovine Mammals is an essential reference book
of leading-edge information for dairy scientists, nutritionists, food
chemists, allergy specialists, health professionals, and allied professionals.
