The objective of this study was to identify Acinetobacter in a traditional cheese from west Azarbaijan, Iran, and to study the lipolytic and proteolytic activities of these bacteria in ripening of white brine cheese. Acinetobacter is a gram negative bacteria which can be found in different sources as dairy products. Lypolysis and proteolysis characteristic of this bacteria and...

Background: Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin which after presence in milk and dairy products such as cheese and butter could make them as contaminated food. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration of AFM1 in pasteurized and traditional cheese marketed in Southern Khorasan, from December 2011 to January 2012. Methods: A total of 102 cheese sam...

Background: Traditional dairy products are the main sources for probiotic bacteria. This study aimed to isolate and characterize the potentially probiotic Lactobacillus strains isolated from traditional dairy products in Iran. Methods: Microbial population of each dairy product was enriched and screened for acid- and bile- resistant strains. The isolates were ...

godina XVIII (2016.) ■ siječanj veljača ■ broj 1 ■ MESO ■ 89 INTRODUCTION In the European countries there is a growing trend of production and consumption of traditional meat products. Consequently, intense researches of their dietary and nutritional value are performed. It is known that manufacturing of traditional meat products is not standardized and is generally monitored subjectively witho...

Meat and meat products are highly prone to microbial deterioration since they are rich in essential nutrients and perishable in nature and if they are not properly preserved, public health problems may occur. Recently, in order to increase the microbial quality of meat and meat products, novel ingredient systems that are associated with natural and organic foods, are applied. Many studies have ...

Wade Davis's study of Haitian "zombification" in the 1980s was a landmark in ethnobiological research. His research was an attempt to trace the origins of reports of "undead" Haitians, focusing on the preparation of the zombification poison. Starting with this influential ethnopharmacological research, this study examines advances in the pharmacology of natural products, focusing especially on ...
