The find has allowed dairy researchers to answer the question: Is the milk we enjoy today different from the milk consumed in previous generations? While the wharf was packed with well-wishers, the ship was packed with dairy: 1,000 pounds of dried whole milk powder, 192 pounds of butter, and 2 cases of cheese. A century later, one remaining container of Defiance brand whole milk powder was discovered during the Antarctic Heritage Trust restoration project, having been frozen for the past 100 years. Their analysis involved comparing the major component composition, major and trace mineral composition, protein composition, fatty acid composition, phospholipid composition microstructural properties, color analysis, and volatile component analysis of the different whole milk powder samples. The fatty acid composition, phospholipid composition, and protein composition, including casein and whey protein genetic variations, were, in general, remarkably similar.
