Among the varieties of milk, Hair goat milk had the highest
amount of epicatechin (10.25 mg L1), whereas Saanen goat milk
had the highest amount of p-coumaric acid (0.22 mg L1) are
presented in Table 4. Cow milk samples also contained phenolics,
but p-coumaric acid was not determined. Milk samples obtained
from Hair goats fed with different plants grown in the pasture
showed significantly different levels of phenolic substances
(p < 0.05) compared to other milk samples. The differences
observed in phenolic content can be explained by both feeding regimes and goat breed. The phenolic compounds of various types
of milk and dairy products have been less studied. Jordan et al.
(2010) reported that Murciano-Granadina goat milk contains
gallic acid (0.08 mg kg1), caffeic acid (0.31 mg kg1), ferulic acid
(0.15 mg kg1), and coumaric acid (0.29 mg kg1) and found
increased quantities in the milk from Murciano-Granadina goats
fed with a diet containing aromatic plant by-products
