context food spoilage has been a common problem throughout history, and much of the spoilage is caused the activity of microorganisms or enzymatic reactions during the storage of food. thus, using chemical substances could prevent or delay food spoilage and this has led to the great success of these compounds in the treatment of human diseases. sodium benzoate is one of the synthetic additives ...

Antibiotic resistance has been noted to be a major and increasing human health issue. Cold storage of raw milk promotes the thriving of psychrotrophic/psychrotolerant bacteria, which are well known for their ability to produce enzymes that are frequently heat stable. However, these bacteria also carry antibiotic resistance (AR) features. In places, where no cold chain facilities are available a...

background : doogh is a fermented beverage in which microbial spoilage is possible. benzoic acid and its salt (sodium benzoate) are added to doogh as antimicrobial preservative to control microbial spoilage. however, the use of this preservative has been prohibited in milk and dairy products such as food and drug administrationand institute of standards and industrial research of iran. thus, th...

Problem statement: Spoilage of food products is due to chemical, enzymatic or microbial activities One-fourth of the world’s food supply and 30% of landed fish are lost through microbial activity alone. With the ever growing world population and the need to store and transport the food from one place to another where it is needed, food preservation becomes necessary in order to increase its she...

Biogenic amines (BAs) are known as toxic substances and formed in foods as a result of microbial action during fermentation and storage (Shalaby, 1996; Santos, 1996). BAs could cause diseases with food poisoning symptoms such as stimulating the nerves and blood vessels in man and animals (Joosten, 1988). The most important BAs found in foods are putrescine, cadaverine, β-phenylethylamine, tyram...

The thermophilic bacilli, such as Anoxybacillus flavithermus and Geobacillus spp., are an important group of contaminants in the dairy industry. Although these bacilli are generally not pathogenic, their presence in dairy products is an indicator of poor hygiene and high numbers are unacceptable to customers. In addition, their growth may result in milk product defects caused by the production ...

BACKGROUND Despite the proven relevance of Pseudomonas fluorescens as a spoilage microorganism in milk, fresh meats and refrigerated food products and the recognized potential of bacteriophages as sanitation agents, so far no phages specific for P. fluorescens isolates from dairy industry have been closely characterized in view of their lytic efficiency. Here we describe the isolation and chara...

Investigations were carried out on development quality evaluation and shelf life studies of buffalo meat emulsion sausage prepared by different levels of fat and skimmed milk powder (SMP) at refrigerated storage temperature (0°C). The quality of emulsion sausage was based on the basis of physico-chemical characteristics namely moisture content, pH, protein content, TBA number, microbial charact...

The study of microbial growth in relation to food environments provides essential knowledge for quality control. With respect its significance the dairy industry, Geotrichum candidum isolate J milk without and with 1% NaCl was investigated under isothermal conditions ranging from 6 37 °C. mechanistic model by Baranyi Roberts used fit fungal counts over time estimate parameters isolate. effect t...
