Cryo-TEM of isolated milk fat globule membrane structures in cream

Abstract: This study has focused on structures formed through the release of lipid membrane material from milk fat globules. The aim of the study was to describe vesicles in the cream plasma and processing-induced vesicular structures in cream and buttermilk. The dairy samples were divided into three fractions through centrifugation, using D2O for density control. These fractions were examined using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The cream layer contains submicron-sized emulsion droplets, which a… Show more

“…Moreover, milk lipid membrane vesicles (containing among the other components monoglycerides and fatty acids) show the same morphology as the vesicles visualized in the current study (49). When 15% of the lipid material is hydrolysed (5 min) oil droplets (indicated by black arrow) and lipid bilayer (indicated by white arrow) are visualized (Fig.…”

“…4B). Recent work has characterised the structures formed through the release of lipid membrane material from fat globules by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy [50]. In buttermilk, spherical and slightly deformed vesicles are visible and could be formed from membrane components, mainly PL, after MFGM rupture during churning.…”

“…The complex LM structure of the MFGM most likely explains its impermeability to K þ ions, despite the potential presence of potassium channels in the MFGM. Indeed, electronic micrographs of liposomes prepared from the MFGM show a complex multilamellar, or liposome-within-liposome, structure (Waninge et al, 2004) .…”
