The feasibility of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for discrimination between mature vinegar of different geographical origins (Taiyuan and Qingxu, China) is presented in this research. NIR spectra were collected in transmission mode in the wavelength range of 800–2500 nm. Qualitative analysis models were developed based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA). Th...

To assess the bacteriological quality of unpooled expressed breast milk, a pilot bottle sample of each donation was examined before the milk was given to the neonate. Provided the milk did not contain greater than 2500 organisms/ml or potential pathogens it was used unheated. Milk containing between 2500 and 5000 organisms/ml and no potential pathogens was used after pasteurisation. Using these...
