Khem Shahani Receives Gamma Sigma Delta Award

• Dr. Khem Shahani, Professor in the Department of Dairy Science, University of Nebraska, has received the 1966 International Gamma Sigma Delta Award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture. Nominees for this award are made by each of the 28 chapters of the Society. While presenting the award, Dr. Bohmont, International President of the Society and Dean of Agriculture, University of Nevada, cited Dr. Shahani's basic research contributions in the specific areas of antibiotics in milk products, vitamin content of of cheese, and milk enzymes.

Dr. Shahani's research, providing data on the vitamin content of 31 varieties of cheese, has made contributions to the knowledge of the nutritive value of cheese. Dr. Shahani and his associates have been the first to isolate milk lipase and to isolate lysozyme from both bovine and human milk. Additional research on milk lysozyme now in progress would reveal whether lysozyme is associated with antibody and immune factors in milk and its physiological significance.
