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


Abstract in English

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).
