Additionally, the proportion of underweight adults living in Laos is 9.8%. Nutritional rehabilitation of malnourished children and adults often requires dietary energy, protein, and micronutrient supplementation. Water buffalo, native to Southeast Asia, produce milk with higher energy, protein and micronutrient concentrations than dairy cow's milk. Acid whey, a byproduct of soft-cheese production, is currently discarded at the Laos Buffalo Dairy in Laos after making cheese. The total energy and macronutrient concentrations of Laos water buffalo milk and acid whey were analyzed and compared to dairy cow's milk and acid whey data from Egypt and the US, respectively, to determine their suitability as a dietary energy, protein, and micronutrient supplement. 000008595 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008595 650__ $$aMilk Proteins$$022321 000008595 650__ $$aWhey$$011195 000008595 650__ $$aMilk$$022319 000008595 650__ $$aCheese$$016428 000008595 651__ $$aLaos$$041017 000008595 6531_ $$awater buffalo 000008595 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008595 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition$$041470 000008595 7001_ $$aLinfesty, Aloura$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10000-0002-2577-1616 000008595 7201_ $$aStadler, Diane$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000008595 8564_ $$9eed2f3c4-de02-4434-b26a-1f5bcec6b6f7$$s2546859$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8595/files/Linfesty.Aloura.2020.pdf$$ePublic$$2824ae8edc48496f87747b4fe02d4ac84$$31 000008595 905__ $$a/rest/prod/fj/23/62/74/fj236274d 000008595 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8595$$pstudent-work 000008595 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
