Abstract
Tiger nut beverages are non-alcoholic products that are characterized by their pale color and soft flavor. Conventional heat treatments are widely used in the food industry, although heated products are often damaging to their overall quality. Ultra-high pressure homogenization UHPH) is an emerging technology that extends the shelf-life of foods while maintaining most of their fresh characteristics. The present work deals with the comparison of the effect of conventional thermal homogenization-pasteurization (H-P, 18 + 4 MPa at 65 °C, 80 °C for 15 s.) and UHPH (at 200 and 300 MPa, and inlet temperature of 40 °C), on the volatile composition of tiger nut beverage. Headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was used for detecting volatile compounds of beverages, which were then identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 37 different volatile substances were identified in tiger nut beverages, which were primarily grouped into the aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes and terpenes chemical families. Stabilizing treatments increased the total amount of volatile compounds (H-P > UHPH > R-P). H-P was the treatment that produced the most changes in the volatile composition of RP, while treatment at 200 MPa had a minor impact. At the end of their storage, these products were also characterized by the same chemical families. This study evidenced the UHPH technology as an alternative processing of tiger nut beverages production that minimally modifies their volatile composition.

Abstract
In this study, both microbial inactivation and growth of Listeria spp. inoculated in commercial free-starter fresh cheese was evaluated after high-pressure processing (HPP). HPP conditions (300, 400, 500 and 600 MPa at 6 °C for 5 min) and inoculum level (3-4 or 6-7 log CFU/g of cheese), as well as differences among strains inoculated (Listeria innocua, L. monocytogenes CECT 4031 and L. monocytogenes Scott A) were investigated. Inactivation and generation of sublethal injury were determined after HPP using ALOA (Agar Listeria according to Ottaviani and Agosti) and TAL (Thin Agar Layer) plating methods, respectively. Listeria inactivation increased with the pressure applied, presenting some statistical differences between the employed strains, inoculum level and sublethal injury. The highest lethality values were obtained at 600 MPa for the three strains tested, although the 500 MPa treatment presented high lethality for L. innocua and L. monocytogenes CECT 4031. After treatment, L. innocua and L. monocytogenes CECT 4031 counts in fresh cheese increased gradually during cold storage. By contrast, counts in cheeses inoculated with L. monocytogenes Scott A did not change significantly (p ≥ 0.05), being this strain the most pressure resistant and with the slowest growth rate. The manuscript present information supporting that, strains with high-level resistance should be employed during inactivation studies, instead of surrogate microorganisms. Application of HPP treatments of 500 MPa and especially 600 MPa on fresh cheeses would be effective to eliminate the most resistant microorganism to a level that should not present a public health risk under normal conditions of distribution and storage.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of using ultra-high pressure homogenisation (UHPH) on the composition and biochemistry of starter-free fresh cheeses and to monitor their evolution during cold storage as an alternative to conventional treatments applied in the production of fresh cheese such as conventional pasteurisation and homogenisation-pasteurisation. Although both homogenisation treatments increased cheese moisture content, cheeses from UHPH-treated milk showed lower moisture loss during storage than those from conventionally homogenised-pasteurised milk. Lipolysis and proteolysis levels in cheeses from UHPH-treated milk were lower than those from conventionally treated milk samples. Although, oxidation was found to be the major drawback, in general terms, high quality starter-free fresh cheeses were obtained from UHPH-treated milk.

Abstract
The effect of including artichoke silage in the rations of dairy ewes on milk characteristics and biochemical changes of ripened cheeses was evaluated. Four groups of lactating ewes were fed rations containing 0, 10, 20, or 30% artichoke silage on a dry matter basis. Bulk milk samples were collected 3 times during the feeding period, and semi-hard cheeses were manufactured and sampled during ripening. Milk composition and cheese yield were not affected by diet. Inclusion of 20 and 30% artichoke silage reduced the firmness of the curds at a level only detected by the Gelograph (Gelograph-NT, Gel-Instrumente, Thalwil, Switzerland) probe. Inclusion of artichoke silage in ewes' diet decreased fat and total free fatty acids content of these cheeses and increased total free amino acids content. Despite the effect of diet on cheese ripening characteristics, the overall sensory scores for cheeses corresponding to artichoke silage diets were statistically higher than those for the control cheeses.

Abstract
Caprine colostrums (6 batches) were subjected to heat (56 degrees C for 60 min and 63 degrees C for 30 min) and high-pressure (400 and 500 MPa for 10 min at 20 degrees C) treatments at laboratory scale, and analyses of the main microbial groups and the extent of IgG denaturation (determined by immunodiffusion) were performed. Overall mean microbial values in raw colostrums were: total count, 5.55 log cfu/mL; Enterobacteriaceae, 2.64 log cfu/mL; lactococci, 5.41 log cfu/mL; lactobacilli, 2.34 log cfu/mL; and enterococci, 4.06 log cfu/mL. Neither Salmonella spp. nor Listeria monocytogenes were detected, whereas coagulase-positive staphylococci were found in various colostrum samples with an overall mean of 1.02 log cfu/mL. Heat and high-pressure treatments significantly reduced total count (1.47 log), lactococci (1.45 log), enterococci (2.47 log), and Enterobacteriaceae, whereas lactobacilli and coagulase-positive staphylococci counts were reduced to undetectable levels, but differences between technological treatments were not statistically significant. High-pressure treatments were as efficient in reducing the bacterial population as were heat pasteurization treatments: 95.50 and 96.93% for pressure treatments of 400 and 500 MPa, and 91.61 and 97.59% for heat treatments of 56 degrees C for 60 min and 63 degrees C for 30 min, respectively. All treatments assayed produced a reduction in colostrum IgG concentration (27.53, 23.58, 23.33, 22.09, and 17.06 mg/mL for raw, heat-treated at 56 degrees C for 60 min or 63 degrees C for 30 min, and pressure-treated at 400 and 500 MPa, respectively), but differences were only observed between raw colostrums and those pressure-treated at 500 MPa. This laboratory-scale study indicated that 20- to 30-mL volumes of goat colostrum could be heated and pressure-treated (400 MPa) to produce hygienic colostrum without affecting IgG concentration.

Abstract
Ewe milk cheeses were submitted to 200, 300, 400, and 500 MPa (2P to 5P) at 2 stages of ripening (after 1 and 15 d of manufacturing; P1 and P15). The high-pressure-treated cheeses showed a more important hydrolysis of beta-casein than control and 2P1 cheeses. Degradation of alpha(s1)-casein was more important in 3P1, 4P1, and P15 cheeses than control and 2P1 cheeses. The 5P1 cheeses exhibited the lowest degradation of alpha(s)-caseins, probably as a consequence of the inactivation of residual chymosin. Treatment at 300 MPa applied on the first day of ripening increased the peptidolytic activity, accelerating the secondary proteolysis of cheeses. The 3P1 cheeses had extensive peptide degradation and the highest content of free amino acids. Treatments at 500 MPa, however, decelerated the proteolysis of cheeses due to a reduction of microbial population and inactivation of enzymes.

Abstract
The effect of ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH) on microbial and physicochemical shelf life of milk during storage at 4 degrees C was studied and compared with a conventional heat preservation technology used in industry. Milk was standardized at 3.5% fat and was processed using a Stansted high-pressure homogenizer. High-pressure treatments applied were 100, 200, and 300 MPa (single stage) with a milk inlet temperature of 40 degrees C, and 200 and 300 MPa (single stage) with a milk inlet temperature of 30 degrees C. The UHPH-treated milks were compared with high-pasteurized milk (PA; 90 degrees C for 15 s). The microbiological quality was studied by enumerating total counts, psychrotropic bacteria, lactococci, lactobacilli, enterococci, coliforms, spores, and Pseudomonas. Physicochemical parameters assessed in milks were viscosity, color, pH, acidity, rate of creaming, particle size, and residual peroxidase and phosphatase activities. Immediately after treatment, UHPH was as efficient (99.99%) in reducing psychrotrophic, lactococci, and total bacteria as was the PA treatment, reaching reductions of 3.5 log cfu/mL. Coliforms, lactobacilli, and enterococci were eliminated. Microbial results of treated milks during storage at 4 degrees C showed that UHPH treatment produced milk with a microbial shelf life between 14 and 18 d, similar to that achieved for PA milk. The UHPH treatments reduced the L* value of treated milks and induced a reduction in viscosity values of milks treated at 200 MPa compared with PA milks; however, these differences would not be appreciated by consumers. In spite of the fat aggregates detected in milks treated at 300 MPa, no creaming was observed in any UHPH-treated milk. Hence, alternative methods such as UHPH may give new opportunities to develop fluid milk with an equivalent shelf life to that of PA milk in terms of microbial and physicochemical characteristics.

Abstract
The effect of high-pressure (HP) treatment (300 MPa, 10 min) on the volatile profile of semihard ewe milk cheeses was investigated. The HP treatment was applied at two different stages of ripening (1 and 15 days; 3P1 and 3P15) and microbiota, proteolysis indexes (soluble nitrogen and total free amino acid content), and volatile compounds were assayed at 15, 60, 90, and 150 days of ripening. The intensity of odor and aroma of cheeses was also assayed. 3P1 cheeses presented the highest content of free amino acids and were characterized by the lowest amounts of aldehydes, ketones, short-chain free fatty acids, and terpenes and higher levels of ethanol and ethyl esters. 3P15 cheeses were characterized by the highest content of short-chain free fatty acids and pyruvaldehyde and the lowest abundance of secondary alcohols and were more similar to control cheeses than those HP-treated on the first day. Intensities of odor and aroma were not significantly influenced by the HP treatment. However, the panellists found some differences in 3P1 as compared with control and 3P15 cheeses in what they perceived as lower odor and aroma quality.

Abstract
The effect of high-pressure treatment on the volatile profile of ewe milk cheeses was investigated. Cheeses were submitted to 200, 300, 400 and 500 MPa at 2 stages of ripening (after 1 and 15 d of manufacturing) and volatile compounds were assayed at 15 and 60 d of ripening. High-pressure treatment altered the balance of volatile profile of cheeses, limiting the formation of acids, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and sulfur compounds and enhancing the formation of 2,3-butanedione. In general, cheeses pressurized at 15 d of ripening were more similar to untreated cheeses than those treated at 1 d. Cheeses treated at 300 MPa after 1 d of manufacturing were characterized by higher levels of free amino acids, ethanol, ethyl esters, and branched-chain aldehydes, whereas cheeses treated at 500 MPa after 1 d of manufacturing had lower microbial populations, showed the highest abundance of 2,3-butanedione, pyruvaldehyde, and methyl ketones, and the lowest abundance of alcohols.

Abstract
The effects of single- or 2-stage ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH; 100 to 330 MPa) at an inlet temperature of 30 degrees C on the cheese-making properties of bovine milk were investigated. Effects were compared with those from raw, heat-pasteurized (72 degrees C for 15 s), and conventional homogenized-pasteurized (15 + 3 MPa, 72 degrees C for 15 s) treatments. Rennet coagulation time, rate of curd firming, curd firmness, wet yield, and moisture content of curds were assessed. Results of particle size and distribution of milk, whey composition, and gel microstructure observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy were analyzed to understand the effect of UHPH. Single-stage UHPH at 200 and 300 MPa enhanced rennet coagulation properties. However, these properties were negatively affected by the use of the UHPH secondary stage. Increasing the pressure led to higher yields and moisture content of curds. The improvement in the cheese-making properties of milk by UHPH could be explained by changes to the protein-fat structures due to the combined effect of heat and homogenization.

Abstract
A new salting procedure based on the brine vacuum impregnation of porous products was tested on Manchego-type cheese and compared with conventional brine immersion. Its effect on cheese proteolysis throughout a 90-d ripening period was determined. Three cheese regions were evaluated (the rind, the middle, and the internal regions). The parameters analyzed were total N, water-soluble N, soluble N in trichloroacetic acid and soluble N in phosphotungstic acid by using the Kjeldahl method, casein profile by urea-PAGE, and peptide profile of the water soluble nitrogen extract by reverse-phase HPLC. Free amino acid formation was monitored with a spectrophotometric method by using a Cd-ninhydrin reagent. Globally, proteolysis was significantly affected by ripening stage (increasing throughout all the maturation period studied) and cheese region (rind showed a proteolysis pattern different from the middle and internal regions). The salting procedure only affected cheese proteolysis in the rind, whereas conventional brine-salted cheeses showed lower proteolysis than vacuum-impregnated cheeses.

Abstract
Ovine milk proteins were analyzed both by coupling HPLC and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and by flow injection analysis and ESI-MS detection after separation and collection of fractions from gel permeation chromatography. These methods resolved the four ovine caseins and whey proteins and made it possible to study the complexity of these proteins associated with genetic polymorphism, post-translational changes (phosphorylation and glycosylation) and the presence of multiple forms of proteins. The experimental molecular masses of ewe milk proteins were: 19,373 for kappa-casein 3P; 25,616 for alpha(s2)-casein 10P; 23,411 for alpha(s1)-casein C-8P; 23,750 for beta-casein 5P; 18,170 and 18,148 for beta-lactoglobulins A and B; 14,152 for alpha-lactalbumin A and 66,322 for serum albumin.

Abstract
Major proteins from caprine milk were separated by preparative gel permeation and cation-exchange fast protein liquid chromatography and were characterized by flow injection analysis by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In addition, proteins from whole skim milk and whole casein were analyzed by coupling reverse-phase HPLC and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry by two different chromatographic methods. These methods successfully resolved the major caprine milk proteins and main casein variants. The experimental molecular masses of major milk proteins and variants were: 19,302 for kappa-CN 2P; 25,599 for alphas2-CN A-11P; 25,514 for alphas2-CN B-10P; 23,370 for alphas1-CN A-8P; 23,345 for alphas1-CN B-8P; 23,264 for alphas1-CN E-8P; 18,817 for alphas1-CN F-3P; 23,835 for beta-CN 6P; 18,181 for beta-LG; 14,180 for alpha-LA and 66,318 for serum albumin.

Abstract
From hydrolysis experiments carried out on alpha s1-caseins A and F at pH 5.2 in the presence of 30 g NaCl/l, i.e. the conditions encountered in many young goats' cheeses, it was found that minima of 19 and 9 bonds were sensitive to chymosin in variants A and F respectively. Variant A was hydrolysed faster than variant F and the proteolytic pattern (reversed-phase HPLC and polyacrylamide agarose gel electrophoresis) differed between the variants. Hydrolysates from both variants had a number of cleavage sites in common (Leu20-Leu21, Phe23-Ala24 and Phe32-Arg33 in both variants, Leu101-Lys102 and Leu64-Lys65, Leu120-His121 and Leu83-His84, Leu142-Ala143 and Leu105-Ala106, Leu149-Phe150 and Leu112-Phe113, Leu156-Asp157 and Leu119-Asp120, Trp164-Tyr165 and Trp127-Tyr128 in variants A and F respectively), while other bonds were split only in variant A (Leu16-Asn17, Glu18-Asn19, Phe28-Pro29, Ile44-Gly45, Tyr80-Ile81, Gln82-Lys83, Tyr91-Leu92, Tyr94-Leu95, Leu109-Glu110 and Phe179-Ser180). Major cleavage sites appeared to be at Phe23-Val24, Leu142-Ala143 and Trp164-Tyr165 for variant A, and Phe23-Val24 and Leu64-Lys65 for variant F. Cleavage site Phe23-Val24 could be the origin of the first breakdown product from goat alpha s1-caseins A and F visible in polyacrylamide agarose gel electrophoresis.

Abstract
The proteolytic activity of plasmin on soluble caprine beta-casein (CN) was studied in 50 mM Tris.HCI buffer, pH 8.0, at 37 degrees C. Electrophoretic studies showed that hydrolysis of this protein results in an electrophoretic pattern that is similar to the pattern obtained from plasmin hydrolysis of bovine beta-CN (gamma-CN and complementary N-terminal fragments), suggesting that plasmin probably attacks the same regions that are susceptible to cleavage in bovine beta-CN. As determined by SDS-PAGE, the gamma-like components of caprine milk consisted of two fragments with relative molecular mass of 9200 and two with relative molecular mass of 21,400 that could differ in the level of phosphorylation. Apparently, the high molecular mass components are homologous to bovine beta-CN (f 29-209) (gamma 1-CN), and the low molecular mass components are homologous to bovine beta-CN (f 106-209) and beta-CN (f 108-209) (gamma 2- and gamma 3-CN). Complementary N-terminal fragments had values for molecular masses in the range 13,600 to 8500 and urea-PAGE patterns that were more complex than those obtained in bovine casein because of the different phosphorylation levels in caprine beta-CN. These fragments were also present in the hydrolysate of whole caprine casein that had been treated with plasmin.
