Background & Aims of the Study: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is considered as a major pathogen in public health concern. The objectives of this study were to firstly determine antibiotic sensitivity among Staphylococcus aureus isolated from traditional Iranian white cheese during 2015 from Hamedan province of Iran; and secondly to estimate the presence of ...

The stomach is a source of several circulating peptides/hormones, such as gastrin, pancreastatin, leptin and ghrelin, which are thought to play important roles in the regulation of food intake and body growth. The present study was undertaken in mice in order to examine the effects of diet composition on the body weight gain and the gastric cells that produce these peptides/hormones. Both young...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of frying temperature, time and different batter formulations on the rheological properties and mass transfer during deep fat frying of kurdish cheese nuggets. the effects of white egg (0, 5, 10%) addition to the batter formulation of cheese nuggets and frying at 150, 170 and 190◦c for 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 min have been investigated. the result...

in this study, ultrafiltrated feta cheese was prepared from cow’s milk ultrafiltraton retentate and soymilk blend. rennet and calcium chloride were used simultaneously as coagulant to coagulate cow’s milk proteins and soymilk proteins, respectively. then, the effect of storage period on physical (texture profile analysis test, penetration test), chemical (total solids, protein, fat) and sensory...

Background: Food preservation includes procedures to assure higher level of food safety, hygiene and stability. To achieve this goal, the use of combination biopreservatives, such as Essential oils and Probiotics, has gained increased attention. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of Mentha longifolia L. esential oil and Lactobacillus casei aginst Listeri...

Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of short term frozen storage of milk and curd on textural properties and physico-chemical composition of white brined goat cheese. Raw milk and curds (at various stages of pressing) were frozen and kept for seven days at -27 °C. Following the freezing, all the experimental cheeses were manufactured by the standard procedure, the same that wa...

A total of 45 random samples of locally white soft cheese were collected from various dairy shops, street vendors and supermarkets located in Gharbia governorate, Egypt.
