Nebraska Research Aims to Boost Milk as Infection Fighter
Milk does a body good, as the saying goes, and Nebraska scientists are exploring how to make it even healthier by enhancing its infection-fighting properties. University of Nebraska’s assistant professor of food science and technology, Jennifer Auchtung, is working with lead investigator, University of Nebraska’s professor of nutrition and health sciences, Janos Zempleni, on a four-year research project funded by a $500,000 grant from USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to study how milk enhances or diminishes pathogenic bacteria.
