Abstract

Due to its rarity and unique biological traits, as well as its growing financial value, milk of dairy Greek small ruminants is continuously attracting interest from both the scientific community and industry. For the construction of the present dataset, cutting-edge proteomics methodologies were employed, in order to investigate and characterize, for the first time, the milk whey proteome from the two indigenous Greek goat breeds, Capra prisca and Skopelos. In total 822 protein groups were identified in milk whey of the two breeds, The present data are further discussed in the research article “Milk of Greek sheep and goat breeds; characterization by means of proteomics” [1].

Summary

Data accessibility

Proteome Discoverer 1.4 software (Thermo Scientific), Sequest search engine searching the Rumintae *.fasta databases for milk of goats. Analyzed Milk samples from the indigenous Greek goat breeds Capra prisca and Skopelos, were systematically collected and analyzed in order to characterize the protein content of the milk of each breed. The proteome dataset of milk whey from two indigenous Greek goat breeds was reported for the first time. In order to obtain the most representative dataset as well as to eliminate any regional effect on the milk of two pure Greek goat breeds (Capra prisca and Skopelos), animals from flocks across Greece were analyzed. A total of 822 proteins were identified in the analyzed goat milk samples (Table 1).
