Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of kefir fermentation on the chemical properties, as well as the vitamin and mineral compositions of hair and Saanen goat milk samples, including intensive and extensive nutritional regimes. Kefir samples were produced with natural kefir grains (2%). Chemical properties (pH, titration acidity, total solids, fat, protein and ash), vitamin (A, E, B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6 and C) and mineral (Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Zn, Se, Cu and Mn) compositions were analyzed using liquid chromatography.
