Abstract
Ruminant milk composition can be impacted by many factors, primarily inter-species differences, but also environmental factors (e.g., season, feeding system and feed composition). Pasture-based feeding systems are known to be influenced by seasonal effects on grass composition. Spring pasture is rich in protein and low in fiber compared with late-season pasture, potentially inducing variability in the composition of some milk metabolites across the season. This study aimed to investigate inter-species and seasonal differences in the milk metabolome across the 3 major commercial ruminant milk species from factories in New Zealand: bovine, caprine and ovine milk. Bovine and caprine raw milk samples were collected monthly for a period of 9 mo (August-April, 2016-2017; bovine n = 41, caprine n = 44 samples); while ovine milk samples were collected for a period of 5 mo (August-January, n = 20 samples). Milk samples were subjected to biphasic extraction, and untargeted metabolite profiling was performed using 2 separate liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry analytical methods (polar metabolites and lipids). Major differences in milk metabolome were observed between the 3-ruminant species, with 414 of 587 (71%) polar metabolite features and 210 of 233 (87%) lipid features significantly different between species. Significant seasonal trends were observed in the polar metabolite fraction for bovine, caprine and ovine milk (17, 24 and 32 metabolites, respectively), suggesting that the polar metabolite relative intensities of ovine and caprine milk were more susceptible to changes within seasons than bovine milk. There was no significant seasonal difference for the triglycerides (TG) species measured in bovine milk, while 3 and 52 TG species changed in caprine and ovine milk, respectively, across the seasons. Four phosphatidylcholines and 2 phosphatidylethanolamines varied in caprine milk within the season, and 8 diglycerides varied in ovine milk. The inter-species and seasonal metabolite differences reported here provide a knowledge base of components potentially linked to milk physiochemical properties, and potential health benefits of New Zealand pasture-fed dairy ingredients.

Abstract
Comprehensive analysis of triacylglycerol (TAG) regioisomers is extremely challenging, with many variables that can influence the results. Previously, we reported a novel algorithmic method for resolving regioisomers of complex mixtures of TAGs. In the current study, the TAG Analyzer software and its mass spectrometric fragmentation model were further developed and validated for a much wider range of TAGs. To demonstrate the method, we performed for the first time a comprehensive analysis of TAG regioisomers of bovine milk fat, a very important and one of the most complex TAG mixtures in nature containing FAs ranging from short to long carbon chains. This analysis method forms a solid basis for further investigation of TAG regioisomer profiles in various natural fats and oils, potentially aiding in the development of new and healthier foods and nutraceuticals with targeted lipid structures.

Abstract
AbstractThis work has developed an optimized workflow for the targeted analysis of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in milk by liquid chromatography coupled with a Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer. First, the effects of resolution (17,500; 35,000; 70,000; 140,000) and automatic gain control target (AGC, from 2×104, 2×105, 1×106, and 3×106) have been optimized with the goal to minimize the injection time, maximize the number of scans, and minimize the mass error. Then, the flow rate of the liquid chromatography system was also optimized by maximizing the number of theoretical plates. The resulting optimized parameters consisted of a flow rate of 200 μL/min, mass resolution of 35,000, and AGC target of 2×105. Such optimal conditions were applied for targeted TAG analysis of milk fat extracts. Up to 14 target triglycerides in milk fat were identified performing a data-dependent HPLC-HRMS-MS2 experiment (t-SIM-ddMS2). The findings reported here can be helpful for MS-based lipidomic workflows and targeted milk lipid analysis.

Impact of pasteurization on the self-assembly of human milk lipids during digestion. J Lipid Res 2022; 63:100183.

Abstract
Human milk is critical for the survival and development of infants. This source of nutrition contains components that protect against infections while stimulating immune maturation. In cases where the mother's own milk is unavailable, pasteurized donor milk is the preferred option. Although pasteurization has been shown to have minimal impact on the lipid and FA composition before digestion, no correlation has been made between the impact of pasteurization on the FFA composition and the self-assembly of lipids during digestion, which could act as delivery mechanisms for poorly water-soluble components. Pooled nonpasteurized and pasteurized human milk from a single donor was used in this study. The evolving FFA composition during digestion was determined using GC coupled to a flame ionization detector. In vitro digestion coupled to small-angle X-ray scattering was utilized to investigate the influence of different calcium levels, fat content, and the presence of bile salts on the extent of digestion and structural behavior of human milk lipids. Almost complete digestion was achieved when bile salts were added to the systems containing high calcium to milk fat ratio, with similar structural behavior of lipids during digestion of both types of human milk being apparent. In contrast, differences in the colloidal structures were formed during digestion in the absence of bile salt because of a greater amount of FFAs being released from the nonpasteurized than pasteurized milks. This difference in FFAs released from both types of human milk could result in varying nutritional implications for infants.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the seasonal variation in the positional distribution of fatty acids (FA) in bovine milk fat. Bovine milk samples were collected from May 2017 to April 2018 in the Netherlands, and the FA composition in the sn-2 position was determined by using sn-1(3)-selective transesterification of Candida antarctica lipase B. The majority of the FA showed significant variation at sn-2 and sn-1(3) positions between different seasons. The seasonal variation in sn-2 position was higher than the sn-1(3) positions. Parallel to the changes in the diet of the cows throughout a year, we observed an increase in blood-derived FA (i.e. C18:0, C18:1 cis-9) concentrations and a decrease in de novo-synthesized FA during summer. In winter, more saturated FA were esterified in sn-2 position of milk fat. Highest concentrations of palmitic acid, C16:0, was observed in sn-2 position in winter, whereas the amount of unsaturated FA at this position was highest in summer. These results showed that the FA compositions in different regiospecific positions changed due to season; however, the proportions of a specific FA within the 3 positions of the triacylglycerols in milk fat did not change upon seasonal variation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of seasonal variation on the changes of the fatty acid (FA) and triacylglycerol (TAG) composition of bovine milk fat (MF) in a nonseasonal milking system. Weekly milk samples were collected from 14 dairy factories and pooled per week as representative samples of the average Dutch bovine milk. The sample collection started in May 2017 and finished in April 2018, resulting in a total of 52 samples, corresponding to each week of the year. The samples were analyzed for MF content (%) and FA and TAG composition using gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection. The increased intake of C18:3 cis-9,12,15 through grass feeding in spring and summer was associated with major changes in MF FA composition, including reduced proportions of de novo synthesized FA and presence of several rumen biohydrogenation products and conjugated linoleic acid isomers in MF. These changes in seasonal FA composition had an effect on TAG seasonal variation. The TAG seasonal variation showed that all TAG groups were significantly different between months. The low molecular weight and the medium molecular weight TAG groups increased in winter and decreased in summer, whereas the high molecular weight TAG groups increased in summer and decreased in winter. Based on pooled monthly samples, MALDI-TOF-mass spectrometry allowed the analysis of even- and odd-chain TAG species in MF based on their total carbon number and number of double bonds. These analyses indicated saturated TAG species to be greatest in winter, whereas monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and odd-chain TAG species were greatest in summer. Our study showed that TAG seasonal variation in a nonseasonal milking system is influenced by the variation in FA composition throughout the seasons.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and other mass spectrometric technologies have been widely applied for triacylglycerol profiling. One challenge for targeted identification of fatty acyl moieties that constitute triacylglycerol species in biological samples is the numerous combinations of 3 fatty acyl groups that can form a triacylglycerol molecule. Manual determination of triacylglycerol structures based on peak intensities and retention time can be highly inefficient and error-prone. To resolve this, we have developed TAILOR-MS, a Python (programming language) package that aims at assisting: (1) the generation of targeted LC/MS methods for triacylglycerol detection and (2) automating triacylglycerol structural determination and prediction. To assess the performance of TAILOR-MS, we conducted LC/MS triacylglycerol profiling of bovine milk and two infant formulas. Our results confirmed dissimilarities between bovine milk and infant formula triacylglycerol composition. Furthermore, we identified 247 triacylglycerol species and predicted the possible existence of another 317 in the bovine milk sample, representing one of the most comprehensive reports on the triacylglycerol composition of bovine milk thus far. Likewise, we presented here a complete infant formula triacylglycerol profile and reported >200 triacylglycerol species. TAILOR-MS dramatically shortened the time required for triacylglycerol structural identification from hours to seconds and performed decent structural predictions in the absence of some triacylglycerol constituent peaks. Taken together, TAILOR-MS is a valuable tool that can greatly save time and improve accuracy for targeted LC/MS triacylglycerol profiling.

Abstract
Milk lipids are known for a variety of biological functions, however; little is known about compositional variation across breeds, especially for Jaffarabadi buffalo, an indigenous Indian breed. Systematic profiling of extracted milk lipids was performed by mass spectrometry across summer and winter in Holstein Friesian cow and Jaffarabadi buffalo. Extensive MS/MS spectral analysis for the identification (ID) of probable lipid species using software followed by manual verification and grading of each assigned lipid species enabled ID based on (a) parent ion, (b) head group, and (c) partial/full acyl characteristic ions for comparative profiling of triacylglycerols between the breeds. Additionally, new triacylglycerol species with short-chain fatty acids were reported by manual interpretation of MS/MS spectra and comparison with curated repositories. Collectively, 1093 triacylglycerol species belonging to 141 unique sum compositions between the replicates of both the animal groups were identified. Relative quantitation at sum composition level followed by statistical analyses revealed changes in relative abundances of triacylglycerol species due to breed, season, and interaction effect of the two. Significant changes in triacylglycerols were observed between breeds (81%) and seasons (59%). When the interaction effect is statistically significant, a higher number of triacylglycerols species in Jaffarabadi has lesser seasonal variation than Holstein Friesian.

Abstract
Reconstructing milk fat globules (MFG) with different-melting-temperature triacylglycerols (TAG) to improve its nutritional and functional properties has great potential for expanding industrial applications. Butterfat was fractionated by stepwise crystallization at 30, 20 and 15 °C to yield six fractions (30S, 30L, 20S, 20L, 15S and 15L). Fractions were analyzed for thermal properties and fatty acid composition. An efficient method for analyzing TAG was established using HPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS combined with principal component analysis, and total 146 TAGs in butterfat and its fractions were identified. The melting enthalpy, melting temperature, and long-chain saturated TAG content of 30S fraction were 71.5 J/g, 42.1 °C, and 19.3%, respectively, while that of 15L fraction corresponded to 11.9 J/g, 17.1 °C and 0.1%, indicating that the butterfat was effectively separated. Then MFG were reconstituted with milk fat globule membrane and different-melting-temperature TAG cores from obtained fractions, and reconstituted MFG gave excellent microstructural stability and emulsifying activity.

Abstract
Lipids in bovine milk have several biological activities, with implications for human health and the physical functionality of foods. However, alterations in the lipid profile of bovine milk during lactation are not well-studied. This study aimed to identify differences in lipids between bovine colostrum and mature milk, using a lipidomics approach. Using an advanced mass spectrometry-based quantitative lipidomics approach, 335 lipids assigned to 13 subclasses were characterized in bovine colostrum (BC) and mature milk (BM). In total, 63 significantly differential lipids (SDLs) were identified. Among the 63 SDLs, the levels of 21 lipids were significantly lower in BM than in BC, including 5 glycerophosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), 1 glycerophosphatidylglycerol (PG), and 15 triacylglycerols (TGs). The levels of the remaining 42 lipids increased in BM, including 1 cardiolipin (CL), 9 diacylglycerols (DGs), 9 dihexosylceramides (Hex2Cers), 3 hexosylceramides (HexCers), 3 glycerophosphatidic acids (PAs), 2 glycerophosphatidylcholines (PCs), 12 PEs, and 3 TGs. Furthermore, the correlations and related metabolic pathways of these 63 SDLs were analyzed to explore the mechanisms that alter bovine milk lipids during lactation. The seven most relevant pathways identified herein, ranked in accordance with their degree of influence on lactation, were glycerophospholipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis, linoleic acid metabolism, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism. Our results provide essential insights into mechanisms underlying alterations in bovine milk lipids during different lactation periods, along with practical information of specific nutrition and quality assessments for the dairy industry.

Abstract
A comprehensive survey on triglycerides (TAGs) of bovine milk was conducted by a combination of exhaustive liquid chromatography (LC) separation, high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) detection, and automated lipid molecular feature extraction. A total of 220 groups (a series of species having the same chemical formula and mass) and 3454 molecular species of TAGs were identified based on the accurate mass of the parent ion as well as MS2 information. Sixty-five different fatty acids (FAs) were found across these TAG species; C4:0, C6:0, C8:0, C10:0, C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, and C18:1 were the most frequent FAs, whereas C11:3, C11:4, C27:0, C27:1, C28:0, and C28:1 were rare FAs in TAG molecules. The number of species identified represents only a small portion of total TAG molecules that can be theoretically synthesized from 65 FAs. Each TAG group contains on average 15-16 isomeric species (species with different FA composition), but positional isomers do not seem to be widespread. As the isomeric species cannot be completely resolved chromatographically, quantification of TAG was conducted at the group level. The most abundant TAG groups in bovine milk include TAG 34:0, TAG 36:0, TAG 38:1, TAG 38:0, and TAG 40:1. This study provides the most comprehensive milk TAG inventory so far that can be used as a reference for studying milk lipids.

Abstract
In this study, we used MALDI-TOF-MS to profile and characterise the triacylglycerol (TAG) species of anhydrous bovine milk fat (AMF) and its low melting (olein) and high melting (stearin) fractions obtained by dry fractionation. Silver-ion solid phase extraction (Ag+-SPE) cartridges were utilised to separate the TAGs according to saturation degree. Then, several TAG species were selected and fragmented via post-source decay (PSD) fragmentation. MALDI-TOF-MS TAG profiles and fragmentation patterns were compared to the TAG and fatty acid (FA) compositions obtained by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). We found that, olein was rich in medium length chain TAG species like CN38:0 and CN40:1, whereas stearin was rich in saturated long chain TAG species from CN42:0 to CN52:0. Separation of the TAGs based on saturation degree allowed successful selection of the TAG parent-ion for fragmentation by eliminating the interferences of TAG species that have the same carbon number but vary in number of double bonds. The TAG fragmentation patterns indicated significant differences between AMF, olein and stearin as a result of the dry fractionation process. Compared to AMF, olein yielded in higher fragments of short-chain saturated and middle-chain unsaturated FAs. Whereas, stearin yielded in saturated and monounsaturated long chain FA fragments. Fragmentation of unsaturated long chain TAGs showed that the TAGs in olein contained more C18:1 and C18:2 than that of AMF and stearin. Stearin on the other hand, contained higher amount of TAG species containing C16:0. These results were in line with the FA compositions obtained from GC-FID and suggest that Ag+-SPE cartridges coupled with MALDI-TOF-MS offer an informative and practical approach to characterise fats and oils with complex TAG composition.

Abstract
Milk fat is arguably one of the most complex fats found in nature and varies widely between animal species. Analysis of its digestion products is tremendously challenging, due to the complexity, diversity, and large range of concentrations of triacylglycerols (TAGs) and their digestion products (i.e. diacylglycerols (DAGs), monoacylglycerols (MAGs), and free fatty acids (FFAs)). Therefore, a method combined the solid phase extraction (SPE), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and multi-dimension mass spectrometry (MDMS) was developed to identify and semi-quantify the TAGs, DAGs and MAGs in milk fat after in vitro digestion. Up to 105, 64, 14 and 30 species of TAGs, DAGs, MAGs, and FFAs were determined with their concentrations of 0.01-22.3, 0.01-39.2, 0.01-47.8, and 0.04-191.0 mg/g fat, respectively, during the in vitro digestion of cow and sheep milk. The validation of the method shows that this method was precise and reliable.

Abstract
In the present study, we aimed to investigate the changes in triacylglycerol (TAG) composition as affected by alterations in the cows' diet due to seasonal variations and genetic factors. For this study, 50 milk fat samples in winter and 50 in summer were used from 25 cows with the DGAT1 KK genotype and 25 cows with the DGAT1 AA genotype. The samples were analyzed for milk fat content (%), fat composition, and TAG composition. We found that the content of TAG species CN54 was higher and that of CN34 and CN36 lower in summer than in winter. This seasonal variation in TAG profile was related to seasonal changes in the fatty acids C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 cis-9, total unsaturated fatty acids, and total long-chain fatty acids, most likely resulting from dietary differences between seasons. Furthermore, we quantified the effect of DGAT1 K232A polymorphism on TAG profile and detected a significant effect on TAG species CN36, with higher values for the DGAT1 KK genotype. When adjusting for differences in fat content, we found no significant effects of the DGAT1 K232A polymorphism on TAG profile. We detected a significant interaction between DGAT1 K232A polymorphism and season for TAG species CN42 and CN52; in summer, the KK genotype was associated with higher levels for CN42 than the AA genotype, whereas in winter, the difference between the genotypes was small. For CN52, in summer the AA genotype was associated with higher levels than the KK genotype. In winter, the difference between the genotypes was also small. We show that, regardless of preference for DGAT1 genotype (AA or KK) and depending on the availability of FA according to season, UFA (C18:1 cis-9), short-chain FA (C6:0 and C10:0), and medium-chain FA might be esterified on the glycerol backbone of the TAG, keeping the structure characteristics of each TAG species. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the interaction effect of DGAT1 K232A polymorphism and season on the TAG composition in milk fat.

Abstract
Oral delivery of dispersible tablets is a preferred route of administration for paediatrics due to ease of administration and dose control. Milk has gained interest as a drug delivery system due to its ability to dissolve poorly water-soluble drugs. There are no reports of milk tablet formulations being assessed in the context of lipid digestion, which is critical in influencing orally administered drug solubility and bioavailability. Milk-drug tablets were formulated by blending freeze-dried bovine milk or infant formula with the poorly water-soluble drug cinnarizine, which were directly compressed. Tablet strength, friability and dispersibility were quantified and synchrotron X-ray scattering was used to determine the lipid liquid crystalline phases formed during in vitro digestion of dispersed tablets and their effects on drug solubilisation. Tableting had a significant impact on the self-assembly of lipids in redispersed milk tablets whereas no effect was seen for infant formula tablets. Incorporation of the disintegrant poly(vinylpolypyrrolidone) to reduce tablet dispersion times promoted the formation of hexagonal liquid crystalline phases upon digestion but had minimal effect on drug solubilisation. These findings show that similar to the use of liquid milk, the formulation of milk-drug tablets can be used to improve solubilisation of poorly water-soluble drugs.

Abstract
Unknown metabolites represent a bottleneck in untargeted metabolomics research. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) facilitates lipid identification because it yields collision cross section (CCS) information that is independent from mass or lipophilicity. To date, only a few CCS values are publicly available for complex lipids such as phosphatidylcholines, sphingomyelins, or triacylglycerides. This scarcity of data limits the use of CCS values as an identification parameter that is orthogonal to mass, MS/MS, or retention time. A combination of lipid descriptors was used to train five different machine learning algorithms for automatic lipid annotations, combining accurate mass ( m/ z), retention time (RT), CCS values, carbon number, and unsaturation level. Using a training data set of 429 true positive lipid annotations from four lipid classes, 92.7% correct annotations overall were achieved using internal cross-validation. The trained prediction model was applied to an unknown milk lipidomics data set and allowed for class 3 level annotations of most features detected in this application set according to Metabolomics Standards Initiative (MSI) reporting guidelines.
