Evaluation Of Nutrient Constituents Of Selected Bovine Milk Powder Marketed In Sachets In Umuahia Metropolis:- Mbaike, Kenneth K.
ABSTRACT
A study
was conducted to compare the nutrient composition of five common brands of
whole milk powder packaged in sachets and marketed in t.Jmuahia Main market.
The milk samples wen.' analyzed for total solids (TS). butter-far (BF). crude
protein (CP), lactose, solid-not-fat (SNF), ash, calcium and phosphorus. The
values obtained were converted to liquid milk equivalent. The TS values varied
significantly (P<0.05) among the brands and were I 2 36, 12 56, 12.10, 13.68
and 12.78% respectively for Loya, Peak, Coast, Nido and Blueboat. The
corresponding values for CP (N x 6.38%) were 3.55, 3.62, 3.63, 3.84 and 3.59 __
All the nutrients varied significantly in the live milk brands. The mean values
for. BF and SNF were 3.29, 9.08, 3.42, 9 14,8.74 3.35; 3.38, 10.30, and 3.57.
9.20% rcspcctivel-y. The relationships between the various nutrients in the'
five samples were analyzed. In Loya brand, the relationship between TS and CP.
TS and BF. TS and Laclose. BF and Lactose, Ash and Calcium and Calcium and
Phosphorus were positive and non significant. These relationships were only
positive and significant between TS and CP and Ash and Calcium, in Peak brand,
whereas in Coast brand, only TS and Lactose and BF and Lactose were positive
and significant. (P0.05) In Nido brand, TS and BF and Ash and calcium were
positive and significant while in Blueboat only ash and calcium showed positive
and significant relationship. ·It was observed that Nido brand recorded
superior values for TS, CP and SNF contents among the 5 brands.
