Transgenic Cow Milk Containing Human Antimicrobial Protein

University of Toledo will test the hypothesis that adding an antimicrobial peptide to powdered milk can confer protection against enteric diseases.

Development & Testing

1 - 6 months

Last update: October 05, 2023

OverviewContributors

Challenge

Adding an antimicrobial peptide to powdered milk products could confer protection against enteric diseases, but this hypothesis needs to be tested for its ability to kill pathogens in stomach conditions and its ability to maintain integrity through the milk pasteurization and drying processes.

Description

Test the antimicrobial peptide for its ability to kill pathogens and maintain integrity through the milk pasteurization and drying processes.

SDGs

Good Health and Well-being

Outcomes

Protection against enteric diseases through enhanced antimicrobial properties in powdered milk products.
