In the present scenario, usage of pesticides are inevitable to meet the demands of growing population and to secure the food grain production, there is need for regular screening of milk and milk products for pesticide residues which is being felt in the trade and also at the consumers level. The present work was undertaken to study the effect of heat processing on degradation of various Organo...

BACKGROUND Chlorinated pesticides have been used in pest control for several decades in the world. These compounds are still applied in many regions, and their continuous usage has resulted in their bioaccumulation and residue in the food chain. These residues could transfer to food products and accumulate in fat tissues. Undoubtedly, the breast milk could be a significant biomarker for estimat...

The SNAP was modified to SNAP ST (Idexx Laboratories Inc., Westbrook, ME), a new 7-8 minute test which no longer requires the use of an incubator. This new test was validated at ILVO-T&V according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and the CRL Guidelines for the Validation of Screening Methods (Anon., 2010). The SNAP ST is very specific as an interference was only caused by clavulanic acid, a β...

Although antibiotics are valuable drugs for treatment of bacterial and some parasitic infections, their presence in animal products have a potential public health hazard. This study investigated antibiotic residues goat raw milk thermal effect on residues. Samples were collected randomly from different farms retail outlets Erbil city January 1st to June 30th 2019. The detected by disc diffusion...

We report a P nuclear magnetic resonance (P-NMR) investigation of buffalo milk, milk ultrafiltrate, and phospholipids from milk fat; for comparison corresponding data were also acquired for cow milk samples. In buffalo milk samples, we identified glycerophosphorylcoline, glycerophosphorylethanolamine and inorganic orthophosphate resonances, together with a broad peak assigned to serylphosphate ...

Bovine milk oligosaccharides have several potentially important biological activities including the prevention of pathogen binding to the intestinal epithelial and as nutrients for beneficial bacteria. It has been suggested that milk oligosaccharides are an important source of complex carbohydrates as supplements for the food and the pharmaceutical industries. However, only a small number of st...

Here, we review what is known about the microorganisms present in raw milk, including milk from cows, sheep, goats and humans. Milk, due to its high nutritional content, can support a rich microbiota. These microorganisms enter milk from a variety of sources and, once in milk, can play a number of roles, such as facilitating dairy fermentations (e.g. Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, P...
