Estudio comparativo de parámetros composicionales y nutricionales en leche de vaca, cabra y búfala, Antioquia, Colombia

ABSTRACT: Milk is a fluid secreted by females of all species of mammals, which is used mainly to supply the nutritional needs of the newborn calf. It is an important source of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Throughout history many countries have characterized the composition and nutritional quality of many mammals species milk, especially those that have been domesticated. However in Colombia there is insufficient information with respect to milk produced by different species to the cow. The aim of this study was to determine the composition and evaluate the nutritional quality of cow, goat and buffalo milk. Buffalo milk showed higher values in for parameters such as protein (4,07%), fat (7,23%), lactose (5,06%), total solids (16,81%) and solids non-fat (9,91%) than goat and cow milk, making it an excellent alternative for the production and processing of milk products. On the other hand goat milk had the highest content of polyunsaturated fat (0.1298 g/100g) compared to cow milk and buffalo milk, which makes it more digestible and healthy for human consumption. All this led to the conclusion that each of these milk types has particular characteristics that make them more or less digestible and suitable for the manufacture of dairy products, which determines the advantages and disadvantages of each of the species.
