Abstract The goal of the present study was to verify quality refrigerated raw milk from dairy properties and also milk, pasteurized Ultra High Temperature (UHT) industries in Vale do Taquari Rio Grande Sul, Brazil. Physicochemical, microbiological composition analysis were carried out, as established by legislation, addition total thermotolerant coliforms psychrotrophic counts three types mesop...

The optimum level of fresh granulated low-calcium (0.2%) skim milk co-precipitate, as fat substitute in low-fat ground pork patties was determined on the basis of physico-chemical, cooking and sensory properties. Low-fat ground pork patties (<10% total fat), formulated with 15 per cent water, 4 per cent added fat, 1.5 per cent salt and 4-10 per cent milk co-precipitate, were evaluated for proxi...

This study evaluated the stability of Bifidobacterium lactis (Bb-12) and of Lactobacillus acidophilus (La05) both free and immobilized in calcium alginate, in milk and in acidified milk (pH 5.0, 4.4 and 3.8). The stability of immobilized B. lactis in yoghurt (fermented to pH 4.2), during 28 days of refrigerated storage was also evaluated. The efficiency of two culture media (modified MRS agar a...

A field study was performed to assess safety of smallholder fresh cow's milk around Mongu, Western Province, Zambia. This involved observation and sampling of milk along the value chain from milking to point-of-sale and storage. Samples were collected from 86 cows, from 9 farmers, selling through two dairy cooperatives, with additional samples from informal markets. Production was very low; aro...

Background: Water buffalos are the second most widely available milk source in countries around the world. While typical average milk compositions are readily available, information on seasonal variation in chemical composition of buffalo milk is limited -especially in the Northeastern region of the United States. Data collected in this study can be useful for the manufacture of a wide variety ...

Human milk handling guidelines are very demanding, based upon solid scientific evidence that handling methods can make a real difference in infant health and nutrition. Indeed, properly stored milk maintains many of its unique qualities and continues to be the second and third best infant feeding alternatives, much superior to artificial feeding. Container type and shape, mode of steering, amou...

the objective of this study was to determine the effect of co2 treatment on proteolysis, lipolysis and quality characteristics of refrigerated raw milk. four treatments of raw milk were selected (controlled milk (milk without any special treatment) and milks treated with co2 until ph = 6.4, 6.2, 6). all experiments were triplicate. samples were stored at 4°c for 10 days and were analyzed on 1, ...
