    1. Hi Emmett! Previous research found that goat milk has one of the highest antibacterial properties compared to other animals! In addition, whey protein was tested on various bacteria, and it demonstrated bactericidal properties against various bacteria!

  1. Hi!!! Awesome presentation I think it was very cool!! Was there a specific reason of using goat whey protein? I was wondering if for future experiments, you could test the bacteria against a wide range of different proteins, unless the goat why protein is necessary. Again great presentation!!

    1. Hi Henry! Previous research found that goat milk has one of the highest antibacterial properties compared to other animals! In addition, whey protein was tested on various bacteria, and it demonstrated bactericidal properties against various bacteria! In our future studies, we would screen other proteins and milk driven from different animals.

    1. Hi Drew! We made an ethanol extraction to use it as our negative control, so it should not have impacted the bacteria! Also, we used for the dose response experiment to create different concentrations of goat whey.

  2. What is the purpose of using goat whey protein opposed to a different type of protein and do you think you would see the same results if you used a different type of protein?

    1. Hi Payton! Previous research suggests that whey protein exhibits one of the highest antibacterial properties compared to other compounds in milk! For future investigation, we would screen different proteins to compare their efficacies.

    1. Hi Viviennee! We tested dissolving a small concentration of goat whey in DMSO as our pre-trial and we found that it was insoluble so we had to do ethanol extractions.

  3. Great work Kamila! Do you think that water could work as a negative control if you think that ethanol may have been impacting the Salmonella?
