Background and Purpose :Aflatoxin M1, in milk and dairy products, is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as human carcinogens (class 2B). The aim of this study was to evaluate aflatoxin M1 contamination level in dairy products from Iranshahr city, Iran, using ELISA technique. Materials and Methods: In our study, 87 samples of milk, white cheese, yoghurt, and butter...

In this study, firstly yeast was isolated from 50 white cheese samples produced by traditional methods raw milk. The species were and identified with the VITEK2 Compact system. There obtained 90 isolates 35.6% Candida sake (32), 13.3% zeylanoides (12), 8.9% famata (8) kefyr remaining 33.3% sphaerica (4), colliculasa (2), boidinii lusitaniae parapsilosis (4) Cryptococcus laurentii krusei Sacchar...

introduction: there have been great efforts to find safe and potent natural antioxidants from various plant sources. there is, at present, increasing interest both in the industry and scientific research for spices and aromatic herbs because of their strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, which exceed many currently used natural and synthetic antioxidants. medicinal plants are complex...

We introduce mCP nets, an extension of the CP net formalism to model and handle the qualitative and conditional preferences of multiple agents. We give a number of different semantics for reasoning with mCP nets. The semantics are all based on the idea of individual agents voting. We describe how to test optimality and preference ordering within a mCP net, and we give complexity results for suc...

Exopolysaccharide-producing Lactobacillus casei CG11 was isolated from soft, white, homemade cheese. In basal minimal medium, it produces a neutral heteropolysaccharide consisting predominantly of glucose (about 75%) and rhamnose (about 15%). Plasmid curing experiments revealed that exopolysaccharide production by strain CG11 is linked to a plasmid approximately 30 kb in size.

In this study, two packaging materials, modified polypropylene (MPP) and polyethylene terephthalate/aluminum/ low-density (PETFA-Al-LDPE) were studied under various atmospheric conditions: 100 % CO2, 70 N2 - 30 80 20 CO2 for packing probiotic ultrafiltered (UF) white brined cheese. pH, titratable acidity, moisture content, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei viability overall acceptability monitored w...

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 samp...

Dairy products is considered the most complete foodstuff that provide human with of their vital needs. The aim this study to evaluate some chemical parameters and bacteriological quality traditional white soft cheese. Our finding indicates that, pH ranged between 5.72 7.25 an average 6.53, moisture percentage 37.76 % 54.95 45.03%, fat 1.2 4.3 2.36 %, protein 16.3 23.16 19.55 %. Ash 1.7% 2.8% 2....
