PAS 1 Its technological properties focus on the food and pharmaceutical industry as production of functional foods, a vehicle for the incorporation of probiotics, inhibition of bacteria adherence on industrial surfaces, as well as the encapsulation of easily degraded activities and fermentation processes. The biological properties focus on antioxidant, hypocholes-terolemic, antimicrobial, and anticancer action.

PAS 2 These chemical properties of buttermilk solids corresponded to a significant affinity to scavenge Fenton-induced hydroxyl radical over a range of 5 to 10 mg. A significant affinity of buttermilk solids to protect against lipid peroxidation, tested using an in vitro model lipid system, was also observed at both 0.1 and 0.2% (wt/vol). These findings demonstrated that buttermilk solids possess significant antioxidant activity, thereby suggesting potential use as a value-added ingredient for stabilizing food matrixes against lipid peroxidation reactions.

Disease Bloat
Disease Description Bloat occurs when the eructation mechanism is impaired or inhibited and the rate of gas production exceeds the animal’s ability to expel the gas. Because large volumes of gas are produced in the rumen, bloat can develop very quickly. In both legume and feedlot bloat, the eructation mechanism is commonly inhibited by frothy or foamy rumen contents. The gas remains trapped in the rumen fluid, forming an emulsion of small bubbles about 1 mm in diameter. The frothy rumen contents expand, filling the rumen cavity and inhibiting the nerve endings that control the opening into the oesophagus. This condition is known as frothy bloat. Animals can tolerate moderate frothiness of rumen contents without exhibiting bloat, or they may expel enough gas from moderately frothy rumen contents to recover from mild bloat without treatment. When frothy bloat is severe, the pressure in the rumen eventually inhibits all ruminal contractions. This condition is called atony. Frothy Bloat-Although frothy rumen contents are characteristic of both legume pasture bloat and feedlot bloat, the physical and chemical explanations for the two conditions were quite different until recently. According to the traditional theory of legume pasture bloat, froth was attributed to soluble proteins in the rumen fluid, which were produced by legume forages. One protein, known as 18S, or fraction 1 protein, initially received particular attention. The foaming properties of all soluble proteins are well known, so it was reasonable to suspect them as the cause of pasture bloat. Free gas Bloat-Free-gas bloat in feedlot animals is more sporadic than frothy bloat, usually affecting a few animals rather than a large number. Free-gas bloat generally occurs very rapidly and provides little warning for treatment. Free-gas bloat accounts for approximately 10 per cent of the cases of feedlot bloat. Irregular feed intake, inhibition of the nerves controlling the contractions of the rumen walls, and physical obstruction of the oesophagus may cause free-gas bloat. Irregular feed intake may occur as a result of uneven feeding intervals, illness (such as a mild grain overload), changing weather, a change in the diet, unpalatable feed resulting from spoilage, or an interruption in the supply of salt or water. Excess acidity in the lower gut can inhibit rumen movement. If rumen movement is inhibited as a result of grain overload or for any other reason, free-gas bloat might develop. [W. Majak ,BC T. A.
