Changing patterns of free fatty acids in breast milk during storage.

Milk was collected from eight mothers. Total lipid and free fatty acids were determined on collection. The samples were divided into aliquots and stored at 25, 4, or -11 degrees C for 6, 12, 24, or 48 h. Additional samples were stored at -11 or -70 degrees C for 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks. The effect of temperature, length of storage, and total milk lipid on the release of individual fatty acids during storage was determined. There was no measurable lipolysis in milk stored at -70 degrees C. In the other samples both storage temperature and length of storage significantly affected lipolysis of milk lipids. The accumulation of free fatty acids in the milk increased with the length of storage and with increased storage temperature. Total lipid was not a significant factor in the release of fatty acids during the initial 48 h of storage. In samples stored for greater than 48 h at -11 degrees C, total lipid was positively correlated with the release of fatty acids. The pattern of free fatty acids in milk changed as storage progressed with an increase in the proportion of free 18:2, 20:4, and the other long-chain polyenoic acids. This may have implications for infant nutrition as these fatty acids are required for normal growth and development of the neonate.

Water legislation in the U.S.: an overview of the Safe Drinking Water Act.

Clearly there is a long history of legislative activity related to water quality in the U.S. Each of the recent legislative provisions in the Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act will put in motion the adoption of an extensive set of regulations. There is virtual assurance that costly regulations will be promulgated and that these regulations will have a disproportionate impact on small systems, and on the institutional mechanisms for managing and operating water and waste water systems.

Chlorine inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7.

We analyzed isolates of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (which has recently caused waterborne outbreaks) and wild-type E. coli to determine their sensitivity to chlorination. Both pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains were significantly reduced within 1 minute of exposure to free chlorine. Results indicate that chlorine levels typically maintained in water systems are sufficient to inactivate these organisms.
