Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a complex and unique structure composed primarily of lipids and proteins that surrounds milk fat globule secreted from the milk producing cells of humans and other mammals.

2024年12月1日 · This TAG core structure, surrounded by a monolayer of polar lipids, a layer of entrapped cytoplasm, and a bilayer of phospholipids, is called a milk fat globule (MFG). The unusual presence of three phospholipid layers (the monolayer from the ER and the bilayer of the MEC) is known as the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM).

2011年3月1日 · Milk fat globules provide a convenient system for delivering large amounts of energy and essential compounds (essential n-6 and n-3 fatty acids, cholesterol, polar lipids, fat-soluble vitamins …) in the gastrointestinal tract of the suckling neonate.

The complex biochemical composition and physical structure of the milk fat globule (MFG) are presented as a basis for its paradoxical metabolic fate: MFG is a rapid conveyor of energy through its triacylglycerol (TAG) core but contains some low-digestible bioactive complex lipids and proteins, which influence lipid metabolism and contribute to ...

Milk fat globule membrane can be separated and prepared from fresh milk, cream, casein, and butter whey. The yield of MFGM in the separation process is influenced by three primary elements: biological factors, such as raw milk type; physical factors, such as temperature; and chemical factors, such as salt ions.

Reviews of the Progress of Dairy Science: The bovine milk fat globule membrane — its formation, composition, structure and behaviour in milk and dairy products. J. Dairy Res. 50 , 107–133.

2024年4月18日 · Milk fat globules are natural colloidal structures that aim to deliver lipids to the gastrointestinal tract of newborns, and their digestion and absorption are essential for infant development. The polar lipids within MFGM feature negatively charged anions, facilitating binding to lipase via electrostatic interactions .

The milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a nanometer-scale membrane structure present on the surface of milk fat globules in mammalian milk . It comprises various bioactive components, such as glycoproteins, phospholipids, sphingolipids, cholesterol, and free fatty acids ( Figure 1 ), which are crucial for brain development [ 2 ].

Abstract – This paper presents a personal view on the potential applications of the milk fat glob-ule membrane as an ingredient in the processed foods area.

2008年12月1日 · The milk fat globule remains the least understood component of one of the world's most valuable agricultural commodities, milk. Darwinian selective pressure drove the emergence of a remarkable lipid delivery system in which the particles and their surface properties are unique to any other biological lipid export system.
