“…Yak milk has a high milk fat content and large fat globules, so it can produce high-quality ghee products [ 4 ]. Yak milk is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs, 20–25%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs, 3–6%), which play an important role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and improving lipid metabolism [ 46 ]. Since yak graze in natural pastures all year round, this means yak milk may contain unique fatty acids [ 47 ].…”

Protein kinase D1 (PRKD1) functions primarily in normal mammary cells, and the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 3 (KCNQ3) gene plays an important role in controlling membrane potential and neuronal excitability, it has been found that this particular gene is linked to the percentage of milk fat in dairy cows. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PRKD1 and KCNQ3 genes and the milk quality of Gannan yak and to find molecular marker sites that may be used for milk quality breeding of Gannan yak. Three new SNPs were detected in the PRKD1 (g.283,619T>C, g.283,659C>A) and KCNQ3 gene (g.133,741T>C) of 172 Gannan lactating female yaks by Illumina yak cGPS 7K liquid-phase microarray technology. Milk composition was analyzed using a MilkoScanTM milk composition analyzer. We found that the mutations of these three loci significantly improved the lactose, milk fat, casein, protein, non-fat milk solid (SNF) content and acidity of Gannan yaks. The lactose content of the TC heterozygous genotype population at g.283,619T>C locus was significantly higher than that of the TT wild-type population (p < 0.05); the milk fat content of the CA heterozygous genotype population at g.283,659C>A locus was significantly higher than that of the CC wild-type and AA mutant populations (p < 0.05); the casein, protein and acidity of the CC mutant and TC heterozygous groups at the g.133,741T>C locus were significantly higher than those of the wild type (p < 0.05), and the SNF of the TC heterozygous group was significantly higher than that of the mutant group (p < 0.05). The results showed that PRKD1 and KCNQ3 genes could be used as candidate genes affecting the milk traits of Gannan yak.

Due to higher market prices for branded vegetable oils (BVO), many consumers are compelled to make do with unbranded vegetable oils (UVO) without any details about the manufacturers or where such oils are sourced. This has raised public health concern over suitability of UVO for consumption purposes. This study was carried out to investigates the quality index of UVO sourced from five different markets in Benin City against king's vegetable oil (BVO). Three chemical properties of acid value (AV), iodine value (IV) and saponification (SV) were determined. AV for both BVO and UVO were outside the 0.6mgKOH/g stipulated by CODEX STAN 210. No significant difference (p <0.05) was observed in the IV for both UVO and BVO. However, UVO sourced from New Benin had the highest IV of 104.48±7.93(I2/100g) while the BVO yielded the least IV value of 97.760±3.6.69(I2/100g). SV was highest in UVO sourced from Oba market 295.3±29.44 (mg KOH/g) while the BVO with a yield of 129.8±45.30(mg KOH/g) gave least SV. The three chemical properties of AV, IV and SV for UVO from the different markets where not too far in values when compared with BVO. However, more studies on more chemical parameters and physical properties of UVO in these markets must be carried out to douse fear over consumption of UVO sourced from these markets
