Goat Milk

The creamy-tasting porridge is topped with great value thawed frozen fruit and toasted flaked almonds for extra protein. The recipe requires less than 30 minutes preparation time, approximately 10 minutes cooking time, and serves 2.

 

Ingredients:

 

• 200ml  goat milk

• 150g fat-free natural Fromage Frais

• 80g whole rolled porridge oats

          • 15g flaked almonds, toasted

• 150g frozen mixed berries, such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, thawed

 

Directions:

 

• Put the oats in a saucepan with the goat milk and 300ml water. Cook over a low-medium    heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until rich and creamy.
• Pour into two deep bowls and top with the mixed berries. Scatter the almonds over and    serve with the Fromage Frais.

The alpha s1-casein is a protein polymorphism of goat milk, and is one found in all dairy goat breeds.

 

The a s1-casein is a protein polymorphism of goat milk first described in Europe, in the French Alpine and Saanen breeds, in the early nineteen eighties.

 

These polymorphisms have been found to affect cheese-making due to differences in protein content, renneting properties (faster coagulation and firmer curd) and a possible connection in relation to cheese flavor. Researched conducted on homozygous individuals for the various alleles confirmed the effects of genotype on the casein content in milk by showing the cheese-making yield observed in milk produced by those animals with strong alleles was 7 per cent higher in comparison with those with medium alleles and 15 per cent  higher than those with weak alleles. In addition, there have been studies that suggest that the genetic variation resulting in low or null levels could contribute to milk with a lesser antigenic burden and be of potential benefit to those with milk sensitivities.

Knowing the specific genetic polymorphism at goat casein loci on breeding stock would allow the breeder to set up breeding and selection programs targeted towards the improvement of cheese-making yield by selecting for high expression alleles, or selecting for animals with low levels which will be of benefit to those with milk or casein  sensitivities.

 

Fortunately, Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at University of California, Davis, makes such testing possible in the United States.  The test would detect low level variants for casein – E, F, and N. High level variants for casein  – A or B, which represent several specific alleles. If you are interested in this testing for your does or buck you can approach ADGA.

 

However, the test is not designed to detect subvariants of A and B. The animal above (A/E), if a doe, would be expected to produce intermediate levels of the casein and pass on either the A or E to their offspring.  The animal above, if a buck, would have daughters that would inherit either the A (high level) or E (lower level).  The variant inherited from their dam would determine whether they were an intermediate or high level producer of casein.

 

 

Are you craving for something Sweet?

Candy is not the easiest thing to make, so I wanted to make a recipe that anyone could follow. These salted goat milk caramels are easy to make and would definitely hit the spot.

Goat milk gives me inspiration and I prefer a bit of crunch so I roll course grain salt into the inner section of the caramel to get that salty sweet combination.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups Goats milk
• 2 cups Brown sugar
• 1 cup White sugar
• 1 cup Corn syrup
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1.5 tablespoon Vanilla
• 1/2 tablespoon salt (fine grain)
• Coarse grain salt to finish
• 1 cup butter
• 1 Vanilla bean

 

[ad#ad-1]

 

Directions:

• Prepare a pot on the stove, and a baking pan (12in x 15in works best) for pouring the caramel.
• Combine the sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, goat milk, heavy cream, and butter in the pot on the stove. Mixing this mixture and heating it evenly is important to make the candy work. You will notice that the mixture goes from looking like a frothy delicious caramel sponge to a slightly darker, with less bubbles mixture
• Watch the temperature of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring. When the thermometer reaches 247 °F remove the pot from the heat. Add the vanilla and stir.
• * Do not let the temperature exceed 250 °F. This is ceiling for the “firm ball” stage when cooking sugar. If the candy goes over this temperature you could have problems with forming your caramels.
• Pour the mixture from your pot into the lined or buttered baking pan
• Let the mixture cool for about 5-7 minutes and then cut the caramel into 1 inch x 1 inch pieces. The caramel will still be warm to the touch and slightly gooey. Sprinkle pieces of coarse grain salt on the pieces and then roll them into balls and wrap in parchment to keep them from sticking together. Thereafter, unwrap and Enjoy!
