Comparative Study of Chemical Properties Between Woman's Milk and Cow's Milk

A study of chemical composition of woman's milk has been made and compared with cow's milk in the province of Homs. The findings of this study show that The total value of the solid material in cow's milk is (12.26 ± 1.2%). It is approximately equal to woman 's milk content of the total solid material which is (12.11 ± 0.09%). The woman 's milk content of mineral elements is (02% ± 001%), while the cow's milk content is (0.71 ± 0.14%). For the value of fatty material in the mother's milk, it is (3.5 ± 0.02%) and this is almost equal to cow's milk content of the same material which is (3.4 ± 0.05%). The cow's milk content of protein is equivalent to (2.92 ± 0.019%), whereas cow's milk content is equivalent to ( 1.25 ± 0.009%). The value of calcium in the mother's milk is (32 ± 4.3 mg), and this is significantly lower than the value of the calcium in cow's milk, which is (118 ± 8.2 Mg/ kg).

The accumulation of some heavy metals in fodder plants and its secreted in the milk of cows in the area of Banias (Syrian coast)

Food safety and monitor of the contents of agricultural products are matters of great importance for consumers, as a result of food awareness, public health and disease prevention. The aim of this study is to know the concentrations of some heavy metals (lead - cadmium - nickel - chromium), in some fodder plants (Trifolium ssp., Cynodon dactylon., Avena sativa L.), and the extent of its secreted in the milk of cows in the area of Banias on the Syrian coast.
