An important condition in dairy processing plant is to obtain materials of excellent physicochemical and microbiological quality to reduce public health risks. High counts of mesophilic show contamination and lack of good manipulation in milking and milk conservation. Coliforms are a demonstration of contamination with fecal material. The norms in Colombia establish the mesophilic count as standard of microbiological quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical and microbiological quality and health of the udders, in raw milk from dual purpose farms, supplying three milk processing plants in Cordoba (Colombia). 149 raw milk samples were collected of tree processing plants in Cordoba department. Physicochemical parameters set out in Decree 616 of 2006 were determined and aerobic mesophilic, total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and somatic cell count were established too. The variables obtained were analyzed by descriptive statistics using SAS. The physicochemical parameters were within the normal range but averages of mesophilic and somatic cells counts were high, which allows conclude that the physicochemical quality is good, but there are shortcomings in the microbiological quality and in the udder health, and is on the farms devoted to milk production where must be implemented and certified excellent management and prevention practices.

Abstract Khurma is a cereal based food indigenous to hilly regions of Nepal. It is a deep fried flour confection prepared by mixing wheat flour, rice flour, semolina, ghee, sugar, spices mixture, milk and water. Despite its popularity, the scientific documentation and researches in khurma is scarce. Moreover, quality of khurma is often subject to variation due to differences in recipe and the data on storage stability is unavailable. Therefore, in this study recipe of the product was optimized using sensory analysis and the optimized product was analysed for physicochemical parameters and storage stability. Proximate analysis showed that optimized khurma had 2.48 ± 0.12%, 36.87 ± 0.34%, 9.51 ± 0.47%, 0.48 ± 0.03%, 0.06 ± 0.01% and 50.60 ± 0.82% of moisture, fat, protein, total ash, crude fiber and carbohydrates respectively. Moreover, product was more stable in laminated packaging material compared to polyethene (PE) package. The results showed that khurma can be served and promoted as an energy dense snack.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the physicochemical, microbiological and bioactive quality of ‘Araçá-Boi’ pulps exposed to Gamma Irradiation. Manual harvesting was done in the morning, using good agricultural practices, and fruits were packed in thermal boxes and transported to the ‘Laboratório de Armazenamento e Processamento de Produtos Agrícolas’ of the ‘Universidade Federal de Campina Grande’, to obtain the pulp. The ‘Araçá-Boi’ pulp was irradiated in the ‘Laboratório de Irradiação Gama do Centro de Desenvolvimento de Tecnologia Nuclear’ (CDTN), located at UFPE - Recife, PE, where three doses of Gamma Irradiation (2, 3, 4 kGy) were applied for later comparison with the non-irradiated sample (control). After irradiation, the microbiological, physicochemical parameters and the quantification of vitamin C and flavonoids were evaluated it can be observed that dose 6 is grouped in a set with differential characteristics of the other treatments, as it provided higher AA, pH, luminosity and water activity (Aw). It was observed that there was no microorganism development after irradiation in all analyzed treatments. It can be concluded that the different doses of Gamma Irradiation guaranteed the microbiological quality of the ‘Araçá-Boi’ pulp, remaining fit for consumption and in compliance with the Brazilian legislation.

Freshly prepared and pasteurized fruit juices sold by vendors in local market of Rawalpindi city from 10 locations were analyzed for the microbiological quality. Total viable count (TVC), total coliform, faecal coliform, molds and the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as E. coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and fungi like Aspergillus, Pencillum, Rhizopus were determined .In open fruit juices available in city were highly contaminated with bacteria and fungi. E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas were isolated with different frequency. Aspergillus, Pencillum and Rhizopus were also found in juices especially Aspergillus was with high percentages. The pasteurized juices have less contamination as compared to the fresh juices samples. The number and type of microorganisms recovered from the freshly squeezed fruit juices made them unsafe for drinking. The results of this study demonstrate the unhygienic quality of popular types of market vended freshly squeezed fruit juices and their risk to the consumers.

Freshly squeezed or freshly prepared fruit juices sold by local market vendors in Dhaka city were analyzed for the microbiological quality. Total viable bacterial counts, fungal counts, total coliform, faecal coliform and the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as E. coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Streptococcus were analyzed by standard methods. The total viable count of samples ranged from 3.00×102 to 9.60×108 and fungal counts ranged from 1.00×102 to 8.05×104. Out of 114 freshly prepared fruit juices samples collected 113 samples (99%) showed the presence of coliform and E. coli. The other bacteria like B. cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Streptococcus were found in 64.91%, 6.14%, 7.89% and (5.26%) of the tested samples. The number and type of microorganisms recovered from the freshly squeezed fruit juices made them unsafe for drinking. It was concluded that due to unhygienic fruit handling in the unsanitary environmental conditions under which the vendors operate the juices become contaminated with harmful bacteria. The results of this study demonstrate the unhygienic quality of popular types of market vended freshly squeezed fruit juices and their risk to the consumers.
