Drs Giles and Mijch have provided a timely case of an HIVinfected woman elected to exclusively breastfeed applying milk pasteurization techniques [1]. This is the first report of such a case in a developed country. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the effect of pasteurization in this paper. HIV RNA was detected at <250 copies/mL in the first paired specimens of breast milk, both p...

This paper reports on the design and fabrication of a High Temperature Short Time (HTST) camel milk pasteurization pilot plant. The objective of this project is to design and fabricate a low cost and practical camel milk pasteurization pilot plant which will work well in an agricultural setting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Fresh camel milk is a much sought after delicacies in the Arab world,...

Continuous microwave processing system is one of the pasteurization/sterilization techniques that offer good potential for high quality, reduced process times and energy as compared with conventional techniques. The overall goal of these studies was to process and preserve the fruit and vegetable juices through continuous flow of microwave heating system. Two categories of 10 blends were prepar...

The synergistic effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), mild heating, and amino acids on the germination of Clostridium sporogenes spores were examined by determining the number of surviving spores that returned to vegetative growth after pasteurization following these treatments. Pressurization at 200 MPa at a temperature higher than 40°C and treatment with some of the 19 l-amino acids at ...

Legionella is an opportunistic waterborne pathogen of increasing public health significance. Pasteurization, otherwise known as super-heat and flush (increasing water temperature to above 70°C and flushing all outlets), has been identified as an important mechanism for the disinfection of Legionella in manufactured water systems. However, several studies have reported that this procedure was in...

The 2002 NAHM's Dairy Survey indicated that 87.2% of dairy farms in the United States feed waste milk to their neonatal calves. Although cost-effective, this practice can lead to increased calf morbidity and mortality due to ingestion of pathogenic agents. In an effort to reduce the risk of infection, dairy producers are implementing on-farm pasteurization of the waste milk as a control procedu...

Abstract This study aimed to examine the effect of shortening effective heat treatment time by 15 minutes for finely and coarsely chopped sausages canned meat in pieces packed polyamide casings with diameters 75 90 mm. Product safety was ensured accordance legislation producer food system. Optimization led a decrease p-values (diameter 90: 148.8 → 97.64 minutes; diameter 75: 111.2 58.4 min), co...
