Abstract

Goat milk has great importance for politics of food production in Northeast Brazil, which added to their recognized nutritional value, is taking part in the complementary feeding of children in this region. The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of retinol in goat milk and check its suitability as to the nutritional needs of children aged 7 to 36 months. Sixty-eight samples were collected from
animals with weight, age, lactation period and feeding like, from the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do
Norte, Brazil. The level of retinol in goat milk was obtained by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and their contribution to vitamin A intake was estimated using the recommendations for the age group concerned. It was found 38.5 ± 12.7 mg/100mL retinol in the milk of Saanen goats and 40.5 ± 9.6
mg/100mL Murciana race (p = 0.61), corresponding respectively to 45% and 66% of recommended intake for this nutrient. Thus, goat milk is considered a good source of vitamin A to children at this age, although in diet to include other food sources to meet your needs.
