ABSTRACT:
Bovine whey from the cheese-making industry contains several bioactive
factors that promote health and prevent disease. Although many efforts
have been made over the years to show that immunoglobulins,
lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin, lysosyme and small peptides present in
whey have antimicrobial activities against several pathogenic
microorganisms, such activities have not been investigated so far for
the lipid fraction of whey. Here, we have used an in vitro assay-based
fractionation procedure to show that free fatty acids derived from
whey cream specifically inhibit the germination of Candida albicans, a
morphologic change associated with pathogenicity. Further
fractionation by HPLC demonstrated that this activity can be mainly
attributed to lauric acid, myristoleic acid, linoleic acid and
arachidonic acid.on whey.
