Sewage wastewater is one of the richest sources mineral nutrients contributing toward plant growth and yield. However, accumulation heavy metals in edible parts vegetables fruits can be dangerous to life. The current research aimed evaluate performance a sand column filter for elimination from sewage applied selected vegetables. contents metals, i.e., Pb+2, Ni+2, Cu+2, Fe+2, were estimated high...

This study examines the integration of regional dairy markets in Poland, which is a major European producing country. The analysis prices important, as many farmers are members processing cooperatives, and their incomes affected by two popular products: butter curd. Moreover, period included significant fluctuations world market termination milk quota system Union (EU). price records used this ...

Milk samples with low (<500,000/ml), medium (500,000-1,000,000/ml) and high (1,000,000-2,000,000/ml) Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) were obtained from a flock of 120 Sarda breed ewes. Milk was analysed for chemical composition and rheological properties (Formagraph), and used for a laboratory scale cheesemaking. The milk of the three groups showed differences (P<0.01) in pH, lactose, whey protein an...

As in the traditional production of cheese in lambskin sacks raw cow's or sheep's milk is mostly used, the purpose of this study is to see how the production affects the microbiological quality of the cheese. To do that, we tested 39 samples of raw cow's and sheep's milk, curd, ripened cheese (15, 30 and 45 days) and lambskin sacks for native microbial population. Two-thirds of the milk, curd a...

Mozzarella (M), Grana Padano (GP) and Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) are three of the most important traditional Italian cheeses. In the three cheese manufactures the initial fermentation is carried out by adding natural whey cultures (NWCs) according to a back-slopping procedure. In this study, NWCs and the corresponding curds from M, GP and PR manufactures were analyzed by culture-independent pyros...

St. Nectaire cheese is a semisoft cheese of French origin that, along with Brie and Camembert cheeses, belongs to the class of surface mold-ripened cheese. The surface microorganisms that develop on the cheese rind during ripening impart a distinctive aroma and flavor to this class of cheese. We have documented the sequential appearance of microorganisms on the cheese rind and in the curd over ...

The cheese industry faces many challenges to optimize cheese yield and quality. A very precise standardization of the cheese milk is needed, which is achieved by a fine control of the process and milk composition. Thorough analysis of protein composition is important to determine the amount of protein that will be retained in the curd or lost in the whey. The fluorescence-based Amaltheys analyz...
