We did not find research on solvents for goat whey other than water. Yet, we were advised to carry out an ethanol extraction instead of using water as a solvent. Using a different solvent would allow us to see the effect of goat whey on S. Typhimurium. We were not able to see that here because the 50% ethanol killed bacteria.
This information is useful because it shows that 50% ethanol is not a good solvent for goat whey, avoiding its use in future research. A “hit” is something that can be used as an antibiotic.
Thank you Sophia! A “hit” is something that can be used as an antibiotic.This information is still relevant because it shows that 50% ethanol is not a good solvent for goat whey, avoiding its use in future research.
Yes, this information is still relevant because it shows that 50% ethanol is not a good solvent for goat whey, avoiding its use in future research. We would use a different solvent!

Great job Bianca! Even though Goat Whey Protein proved to not be a HIT, would you still consider these results valuable information?

Thank you Geneva! Yes I would. Our results show that 50% ethanol is not a great solvent, which can be avoided in future research.

Can you go more into depth on the effects of using a different solvent and how this would produce more valid data?

Even though the goat milk was not a “HIT” is this information still useful? And what does a HIT mean?

Great presentation! What does the “HIT” mean? And is this information still relevant even though it did not reach the HIT?

Is goat milk not being a “hit” still progress for your research? If you could conduct your research again what would you do different this time?
