Abstract
27
Owing to its high omega-3 fatty acid content, milk from grass-fed dairy cows is becoming
28
increasingly more attractive to consumers. Consequently, it is important to identify the origins
29
of such products and to measure their content, at least relative to some standard. To date,
30
chromatography has been the most extensively used technique. Sample preparation and cost,
31
however, often reduce its wide-spread applicability.
32
fluorescence spectroscopy for such quantification by measuring the amount of chlorophyll
33
metabolites in the sample. Their content is significantly higher for milk from grass-fed cows as
34
compared to milk from grain/silage-fed cows. It is 0.11 ─ 0.13 µM in milk samples from grass-
35
fed cows; whereas, in milk from cows fed grain/silage rations, the concentration was 0.01─ 0.04
36
µM. In various organic-milk samples, the chlorophyll metabolite concentration was in the range
37
of 0.07─0.09 µM. In addition, we explored the mechanisms of photodegradation of milk.
38
Riboflavin and chlorophyll metabolites act as photosensitizers in milk for type-I and type-II
39
reactions, respectively. It was also observed that the presence of high levels of chlorophyll
40
metabolites can synergistically degrade riboflavin, contributing to the degradation of milk
41
quality.
Here, we report the effectiveness of

Introduction
45
Milk obtained from grass-fed cows is reported by some to be healthier than that from
46
grain/silage-fed cows.1 In regions where fish is not a staple food, milk from grass-fed cows is an
47
alternative source for omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for the prevention of cardio-
48
vascular diseases and hyperlipidemia.2,
49
eicosapentaenoic acid and the ratio of eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid is significantly
50
higher in milk obtained from cows fed fresh green forage compared to that from cows fed
51
harvested, preserved, and stored forage, such as corn silage.1 In spite of the reported benefits of
52
milk from grass-fed cows, there has been very little research on developing analytical methods to
53
confirm the authenticity of products labelled as milk from grass-fed cows. To date, the primary
54
technique has been capillary gas-liquid chromatography, which quantifies fatty acid methyl
55
esters.1-6 In spite of the thoroughness of the process this is extremely inconvenient or impossible
56
to implement for millions of pounds of milk produced every day.
3
The concentrations of linolenic acid and
57
Fluorescence spectroscopy, however, is a powerful analytical tool; and we have
58
previously exploited it in a wide range of applications: detecting fecal and ingesta contamination
59
on beef carcasses7; detecting central nervous system tissue8; and monitoring the presence of
60
transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in sheep and cows.9,
10
We have also used
61
fluorescence
of
pheophorbide-a
62
pyropheophorbide-a (chlorophyll metabolites), which act as efflux pump inhibitors in bacteria.11
63
The work on both the detection of fecal and ingesta contamination and the study of the efflux
64
pump inhibitors specifically exploits the fluorescence of chlorophyll metabolites. In all such
65
established methods the principal motivation is developing a tool for fast and high-throughput
66
identification where exact chemical identity of the fluorophore or its absolute molar

67
concentration is less significant though in a relative scale it has been discussed. Recently,
68
Andersen and Mortensen have proposed the use of fluorescence spectroscopy as a tool for
69
analyzing dairy products.12 Namely, chlorophyll or chlorophyll metabolites have been shown to
70
be present in variable amounts in almost all milk products, along with the predominant
71
fluorophore, riboflavin.
72
Here we demonstrate that fluorescence spectroscopy can be used as a quantitative
73
measure of the relative content of chlorophyll metabolites in milk from grass-fed cows in a scale
74
established by fluorescence intensity calibration in methanol. Furthermore, we demonstrate that
75
the photodegradation of milk is dependent on the relative concentrations of riboflavin and
76
chlorophyll metabolites.
77
Experimental methods
78
Milk samples. Processed milk samples from several commercial brands were obtained
79
from local grocery stores. A minimum of 6 samples were obtained for each type of milk over a
80
period of six months to take into account any variance in milk production. We have given these
81
samples the generic labels A through E. All the experiments with milk were performed after
82
homogenization. The samples from which cream was separated were not homogenized; and the
83
milk from these samples was not used for any experiments. Measurements were repeated at least
84
three times with fresh samples previously unexposed to light for each milk sample.
85
characteristics of each sample are as follows: milk A (organic, whole, from grass-fed cows,
86
homogenized); milk B (conventional, from grain/silage-fed cows, whole, homogenized); milk D
87
(whole, organic, homogenized, diet of cows unspecified). Fresh unprocessed milk samples were
88
also obtained at the time of milking from cows at the Iowa State University (milk F) dairy and
89
from an Iowa organic, pasture-based dairy farm (milk G). Separate cream samples for A, B, C
4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
The
Page 5 of 22

90
(organic, from grass-fed cows), and E (organic, from grass-fed cows) were purchased from the
91
same or different commercially available sources. The ISU (F) cows were fed a diet containing
92
grain and ensiled forage, i.e., corn silage. The ISU cows did not have access to fresh pasture
93
forage. The Iowa organic dairy farm (G) cows were grazed on pasture with about 85% of their
94
diet coming from this fresh forage. The raw-milk spectra were obtained by homogenization with
95
a BeadBug homogenizer (Benchmark Scientific).
96
Front-faced fluorescence spectroscopy.
Steady-state fluorescence spectra were
97
obtained with a SPEX Fluoromax-4 (ISA Jobin-Yvon/SPEX, Edison, NJ) with a 5-nm band-pass
98
for both excitation and emission and corrected for lamp spectral intensity and detector response.
99
The samples (stored in the dark) were maintained in a front-faced orientation in a 1-mm cuvette.
100
In order to excite chlorophyll and its metabolites preferentially over riboflavin, an excitation
101
wavelength of 420 nm was chosen, and a 420-nm interference filter was placed in the beam to
102
ensure its spectral purity. Emission was collected at wavelengths greater than 450 nm using a
103
cutoff filter. In order to reduce contributions from scattered light, crossed polarizers were placed
104
before and after the sample.
105
Calibration curve. In order to quantify the amount of chlorophyll metabolites in the
106
milk samples, a calibration curve was constructed from pheophorbide-a in methanol at different
107
concentrations using the same instrument settings as were used for collecting the milk spectra.
108
In addition, concentration range of pheophorbide-a was selected so that the corresponding
109
fluorescence intensity fell in the same range as that observed for the milk samples. Recognizing
110
the possibility that the fluorescence quantum yield of pheophorbide-a or chlorophyll metabolites
111
may vary to a small extent from methanol to milk, we provide the concentration of chlorophyll
112
metabolites on a relative scale. Finally, to take into account any spectral shift between the milk

113
samples and the pheophorbide-a calibration standard, we do not use peak intensities, but rather,
114
integrated areas of the spectra.
115
Spectral processing. In order to quantify accurately the amount of chlorophyll
116
metabolites in the milk spectrum, it is necessary to obtain the metabolite spectrum after
117
subtracting the riboflavin spectrum in milk. The resulting difference spectra were described by a
118
linear combination of three spectra, which is a well-established method13, 14 for determining an
119
individual spectrum from a mixture of fluorophores, where the fluorophores do not perturb each
120
other.15, 16 The difference fluorescence spectra can be written as: ܫ௧௧ ሺߣሻ = ܣ ܫ ሺߣሻ + ܣଶ ܫଶ ሺߣሻ+ܣଷ ܫଷ ሺߣሻ

122
Ip,, Ic2, and Ic3 are the spectra of pheophorbide-a and two other components in milk,
123
respectively (see SI equations 1, 2 and 3). The A’s are the weighted amplitudes of these spectra.
124
Ip is well described by a sum of two lognormal lineshapes,17,
125
pheophorbide-a fluorescence spectrum in methanol. Furthermore, λmax of Ip was found to be
126
same as that in methanol. Two other lognormal lineshapes are used to describe the other
127
components: Ic2 (λmax = 630 nm), attributed to protoporphyrin, which likely originates from
128
endogenous hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochrome C) 19, 20; and Ic3 (λmax = 588 nm), attributed
129
to endogenous flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)21, 22. In fitting the spectra, all the parameters
130
(see SI equations 1, 2 and 3) were kept constant except the weights of the individual profiles, Ap ,
131
Ac2, Ac3.

as is apparent from the
132
Photodegradation studies. Photodegradation studies were performed with ambient,
133
oxygenated samples and with degassed samples. Degassing was performed by means of freeze-
134
pump-thaw technique.23, 24 Six cycles of freeze-pump-thaw were used for all the samples. The
135
milk was kept in a 1-cm cuvette exposed to a collimated beam of 470- or 650-nm light of known 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

irradiance for a given time. Fluorescence spectra were taken with λex = 420 nm for different
137
exposure times.
138
Results and Discussion
139
Determination of chlorophyll and chlorophyll metabolite concentration. Andersen
140
and Mortensen have documented the fluorophores present in dairy products.12
141
appears to be predominant in the emission spectra with a maximum at 525 nm. Figure 1a
142
presents representative spectra of milk samples from commercial milk samples A, B and D,
143
normalized to the maximum of the riboflavin band. Figure 1b presents the difference spectra of
144
the milk and pure riboflavin. The spectra in Figure 1b shows presence of pheophorbide a11 (a
145
chlorophyll metabolite), providing a maximum at ~675 nm and a shoulder at ~720 nm. The data
146
indicate that the chlorophyll metabolite content is significantly higher in milk from grass-fed
147
cows (milk A) or organic milk (D) as compared to milk (B) from cows fed a conventional
148
grain/silage diet. From the prominence of the 675-nm peak in even the raw spectrum, one can
149
confidently assign the milk category. This assignment can be made on the basis of the ratio of
150
the peak intensity at 675 nm to that at 530 nm: 0.18-0.20, 0.09-0.12, and 0.14-0.18 for A, B and
151
D, respectively. A derivative spectrum also shows significant difference between milk from a
152
grass diet and a grain/silage.25
Riboflavin
153
To determine the concentration of chlorophyll metabolites, we first deconvoluted the
154
difference spectra into components as described above in order to obtain a spectrum from only
155
the chlorophyll metabolites.
156
components are explicitly shown in Figure S1. We constructed a calibration curve with
157
pheophorbide-a (Figure 2a and 2b), which yielded a slope of 1.61×107/µM. Integrated intensity
158
was used to eliminate the contribution from a small change in spectral lineshape, although the
The representation of the difference spectra in terms of the

159
peak maximum remains the same in methanol and in milk. The concentration of chlorophyll
160
metabolites (from samples in Figure 1) was found to be 0.11─0.13 µM in the milk sample from
161
grass-fed cows, whereas in milk from grain/silage-fed cows, the concentration was 0.01─0.04
162
µM. In organic-milk samples, the chlorophyll metabolite concentration was in the range of
163
0.07─0.09 µM. Thus chlorophyll concentration in milk from grass-fed cows is 4─10 times
164
higher than in milk from grain/silage-fed cows.
165
The ratio of the intensity of the maximum of the chlorophyll metabolite band to that of
166
the riboflavin band is much higher in cream than in milk (Figure 3 and 4). This is because the
167
chlorophyll metabolite partitions more favorably into a hydrophobic environment, which is the
168
result of the high lipid content of cream. Thus, we conclude it is very important to homogenize
169
the milk samples or standardize a milk processing procedure prior to fluorescence measurement.
170
The higher content of chlorophyll metabolites in cream from grass-fed cows (milk A, C and E)
171
than that from cows fed grain/silage (milk F) was also evident. In addition, we verified that
172
freezing the sample did not change the observed spectra, which is essential to determine if
173
samples are to be stored over long periods of time before analysis (see Figure S2).
174
Photodegradation studies. Photodegradation occurs by means of a photosensitizer, a
175
substance, which upon photoexcitation induces decomposition independent of oxygen
176
concentration (type I mechanism) or interacts with oxygen to generate the reactive species,
177
singlet oxygen (type II mechanism). Wold et al. demonstrated that photodegradation of milk can
178
be correlated with the intensity of the riboflavin band.19, 26-29 They cite six photosensitizers26:
179
riboflavin; and five molecules related to chlorophyll--protoporphyrin, hematoporphyrin,
180
chlorophyll-a, and two tetrapyrroles. This is consistent with our spectra presented in Figure 1.
181
Consequently, for our photodegradation studies, we investigated the potential of riboflavin and
8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 8 of 22
Page 9 of 22
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
182
chlorophyll metabolites to degrade the sample. Samples were irradiated with ~50 mW/cm2 at
183
470 ± 5 nm, which excites the riboflavin predominantly, or at 650 ± 20 nm, which excites only
184
the chlorophyll metabolites.
185
chlorophyll metabolites to sample degradation can be distinguished. If a fluorophore acts as a
186
photosensitizer, its emission intensity will decrease; and this decrease will be proportional to the
187
concentration of photosensitizers.30 Here we monitored the maxima of the fluorescence spectra
188
of riboflavin (λem ~ 530 nm) and of chlorophyll metabolites (λem ~ 675 nm). Experiments were
189
performed in the presence and the absence of oxygen, on milk samples from both conventional,
190
preserved forage-fed cows (milk B) and grass-fed cows (milk A), exciting either the riboflavin or
191
the chlorophyll metabolites.
In this way, the relative contributions of riboflavin and the
192
When riboflavin is excited, the concentration of the chlorophyll metabolite signal
193
decreases when exposed to air (Figure 5). After degassing, there is no significant decrease in
194
chlorophyll concentration upon riboflavin excitation. This implicates a type-II photoreaction,
195
where the photosensitizer (riboflavin) produces reactive oxygen species. The data obtained does
196
not indicate a type-I reaction with a photobleaching rate independent of oxygen concentration.
197
However, the rate of bleaching (i.e., photodegradation) of riboflavin is similar in the presence
198
and absence of oxygen, suggesting a predominantly type-I photoreaction. Furthermore, the
199
photoproducts of riboflavin oxidation are visible as a broad band centered on ~500 nm. Similar
200
results were obtained for samples from conventional grain/corn silage-fed cows, milk B (Figure
201
S3).
202
Exposure to light at 650 nm, where only chlorophyll absorbs, bleaches chlorophyll
203
metabolites faster in the aerated than in the degassed sample, thus suggesting the type-II reaction,
204
as is shown in Figure 6a for milk A from grass-fed cows. Milk sample B from cows fed a
9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
205
conserved forage diet yields a result similar to that of milk A (Figure S4). The peak intensity of
206
riboflavin in the milk A showed a faster decay in the degassed sample than in the aerated sample
207
(Figure 6b). On the other hand, for λex = 650 nm, the riboflavin intensity does not change in
208
milk B and hence has a lower amount of chlorophyll metabolites than milk A. Thus we suggest
209
that the larger quantity of chlorophyll metabolites enhances the degradation of riboflavin in milk
210
A.
211
photosensitized chlorophyll metabolites reacted with oxygen more efficiently. To understand the
212
mechanism of such synergistic degeneration of riboflavin and chlorophyll metabolites, further
213
studies are needed. The possible mechanisms can either be direct interaction such as electron
214
transfer with photoactivated chlorophyll metabolites
215
present in milk.
This is more apparent in the absence of oxygen, since in presence of oxygen the
31
or reaction via some other component
216
Lastly, in the Figures 5 and 6, the data points at the longest time periods are obtained
217
after the sample had been keep in the dark since the previous measurement. This is done in order
218
to obtain an estimate of the reversibility of the photodamage to the pigments. Both the
219
chlorophyll metabolites and riboflavin show a small amount of fluorescence recovery. This
220
suggests the possibility of a “dark state” in addition to the state responsible for permanent
221
bleaching. The degree of dark state varies with intensity and exposure time of the exciting light.
222
Such recovery has been observed in fluorescent proteins.32, 33
223
Conclusions
224
We have demonstrated a potentially useful method, using fluorescence spectroscopy, to
225
determine the concentration of chlorophyll metabolites in a calibration scale in milk and thereby
226
establish a relationship between diet and the amount of chlorophyll metabolites present in the
227
milk. This method provides a simple and inexpensive means of identifying milk from grass-fed
228
cows. Furthermore, the method does not require complicated sample preparation. (Additional 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 11 of 22
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
229
work may be necessary for obtaining absolute amounts of the chlorophyll metabolites and for
230
accounting for small variations in the measurements of the fluorescence quantum yields.) We
231
also discuss the need to keep the sample in complete darkness and refrigerated before testing
232
since exposure to light can alter the photoactive chlorophyll metabolite concentration, which is
233
represented by fluorescence peak intensity. Furthermore, we demonstrated the primary types of
234
photoreaction of the photosensitizers present: riboflavin and chlorophyll metabolites, which
235
were found to be type-I and type-II respectively. Additionally we observed that the presence of
236
chlorophyll metabolites can synergistically degrade riboflavin, which may necessitate more
237
stringent storage condition for grass-milk, although elucidating the exact mechanism of this
238
process requires further investigation.
