Comparative Structural and Compositional Analyses of Cow, Buffalo, Goat and Sheep Cream

Factors affecting milk and milk fraction composition, such as cream, are poorly understood, with most research and human health application associated with cow cream. In this study, proteomic and lipidomic analyses were performed on cow, goat, sheep and <i>Bubalus bubalis</i> (from now o...
