- Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the compositional particularities of the buffalo milk dairy products obtained in a traditional system from the North West region of Transylvania. The relevance of this research is high in the context in which Romania has to develop the "village model" by capitalizing the rustic animals through the production of high value nutritive products. This assessment involved the investigation of the main parameters like: protein percent, fat percent, lactose percent, and also the evaluation of the fatty acids' profile and cholesterol content through SFIR, GS, HPLC, RP- HPLC techniques. The essential particularity was noticed in the cholesterol level, which was found in a smaller percentage compared to cow milk products studied also as reference in this research. The traditional buffalo products can be considered functional products through the high level of major components found, which constitutes also a characteristic of the traditional processing.
