Notes:
Comparative studies of milk and nondairy imitation milks showed that their proximate compositions were similar. Qualitative and quantitative studies revealed that saturated fatty acids were abundant in milk, while unsaturated fatty acids (C18:1 and C18:2) were predominant in nondairy imitation milks. This was confirmed by the higher melting points of the fat fractions of milk compared with those of nondairy imitation milks. Finally, lipid peroxidation level of samples were low as determined by the 2-thiobarbituric acid test.
