Project: Dairy Industry Analytical Services

Analutos has a long-standing interest in how different types of milk, based on the type of protein it contains, may have different effects on health and wellbeing. Based on a growing body of scientific evidence detailing how different breeds of cow may produce different types of milk based on the predominant presence of a1 or a2 beta-casein protein, Analutos working with partners, has developed a test to reliably ascertain the relative proportions of a1 and a2 beta-casein in milk and milk powder samples.

Using our q-ToF mass spectrometer, which offers accurate and reliable results, we can profile milk and milk powder samples on the basis of their relative a1 and a2 beta-casein protein content. Such testing is useful for farmers and dairy related industries who may wish to explore this market. Find out more about our milk sample analysis and milk powder analysis.
