Raw milk quality is one of the most important factor before processing of milk and milk products. It is the main factor which is responsible for deciding the quality of end products. The present study was carried out at the selected BMC centre of a FPO owned dairy unit in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. The principal objective of the study was to draw a comparison between BMC standards of NDDB and standards of selected BMC centre. The findings of the study show that there are no major deviations except delay in opening and closing timings for milk collection. As a result preparation time is reduced hindering the efficiency of milk collection process. BMC unit is well-being running manually by operator and switch was being turned off once BMC centre milk temperature touches 40C and starts at 60C, due to this delay in manual cutoff the milk is being crystallized. As per NDDB standards auto mode is recommended so that the BMC switches off automatically once the milk temperature reaches 40C and restarts at 60C at BMC centre.

In Tanzania, Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA), is a regulatory body responsible for controlling the quality,safety and effectiveness of food, drugs, herbal drugs, cosmetics and medical devices. The Authority has been ensuringsafety, efficacy and quality of medicines by quality control tests; in addition to other quality assessment mechanisms.The guidelines laid by TFDA have also emanated from commitment to democracy and gives strong emphasis to thefulfilment of the needs of the less privileged rural population.Tanzania is an emerging market; the pharmaceutical market is valued at over US$250 million, and is growing at anannual rate of around 16.5% and is expected to reach approximately US$550 billion in 2020. Currently, the market ishighly dependent on imports, which account for around 75% of the total pharmaceutical market.The procedures and approval requirements of new drugs, variations, import, export and disposal have been set up bythe TFDA, which help in maintaining quality of the drug products that are imported as well being produced locally

The Quality Control Committee laboratory is a unique organization which was started approximately 32 years ago by Dr. Harold Macy of the University of Minnesota. The dairy industry operates a laboratory which does most of the official testing for the health agencies in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market. With higher costs of operations many health agencies are trying to find ways of saving money, and still have a satisfactory laboratory program to protect the public's health. Some health agencies are using industry laboratories, and the cost is passed on to the customer rather than the taxpayer. The laboratory functions are to evaluate the quality of the raw milk supply from 4238 Grade A producers, and the finished products from 17 processing plants. The laboratory also does the official butterfat testing for the Federal Milk Market Administrator for Order 68. This organization is supervised by a Steering Committee of nine individuals who represent the University of Minnesota; the producer cooperatives, who supply the raw milk; and the Grade A fluid milk processors from the Minneapolis-St. Paul market. All of the routine results from the laboratory are provided to the health agencies. The health agencies and laboratory manager have a close working relationship to coordinate the program. In order for an organization like this to work, it takes cooperation from all parties involved.

The somatic cell count (SCC) is commonly used as a measure of udder health and milk quality. Thus, to determine the milk quality standards in many countries, it legally determined as an indicator of somatic cell count raw milk and determines the level of payments to milk producers. The present study investigated that the somatic cell count is an indicator of udder health status, diagnosis of subclinical mastitis, health and quality of milk and milk products, its importance and effect factors on it.

This paper is part of a larger study. It aims to analyze the concept of Quality of Life at Work(QLW) at IFRN campuses in Natal in comparison with campuses that show results with opposite tendencies, related to the most significant factors: working conditions, well-being and linkage between work and social life. This is a qualitative descriptive study and the open survey formis used as research instrument. The sample was composed of 774 participants. The working condition was the most significant factor in almost all analyzed macro-regions – with the exception of the new campuses, which had the well-being as the main factor. Regarding the working conditions factor, Natal Central Campus and Cidade Alta Campus show opposite tendencies, presenting aspects such as security and infrastructure in the first positions. In contrast to the central tendency, the well-being factor has as its main aspects the physical activity and nourishment – at EAD Campus, Zona Norte, Parnamirim and Reitoria. Concerning the linkage between work and social life, we emphasize the aspects motivation and balance between work and social life at campuses: EAD, Parnamirim, Zona Norte and Cidade Alta. In spite of the importance of a macro-diagnosis, it is crucial to analyze the data of each campus in order to guarantee the reliability of its peculiarities in the diagnostic of the concept of QLW at IFRN.

The aim of this study is the assessmentof the quality control of raw milk and traditional burduf cheese obtained fromcow milk mixed with 10% sheep milk. Appreciation of the integrity and freshness assessmentof milk (cow and sheep) was tested by physico-chemical analysis.On theshelf-live were determined the physico-chemical parameters in cheese samples. Theantibiotics residues were tested of the milk samples with portable analyser,model Rosa Charm Reader. Theresults of physico-chemical determinations for the milk and cheese samples werewithin the maximum permissible by data legislation. Regardingthe content of antibiotics, the results were negative both for cow milk and forsheep milk. The sensorycharacteristics of burduf cheese are influenced by the different types of milk.


Milk is a nutrient - rich white liquid food produced by mammals and is mostly consumed by human beings in their day to day life. Milk contains various nutrients such as proteins, calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, lactose and minerals which are essential for the well being of the human beings. It is sometimes found that there is a presence of infective bacteria in raw milk. These bacteria may cause various diseases in human beings when consumed. This leads to poor health of the people causing economic burden to them along with disruption of their daily activities. Hence, it is essential to identify the presence of disease causing bacteria to analyze the quality of milk in real time , thereby preventing people from buying the infected milk. This work concentrates on identification of concentration of various gases that is produced in the infected raw milk by the disease causing bacteria . This spoilt milk also emanates bad odour and causes change in taste of milk. The proposed system uses PIC microcontroller and gas sensors to detect the concentration of various gases that are produced by various disease causing bacteria in raw milk and sends the data from the sensors to the user via Bluetooth for analysis. This system is very much helpful in real time due to the detection of disease causing microbes that may be present in raw milk which can be identified by the presence of ethanol, acetic acid, propane, methane and acetaldehyde gases, thereby preventing the use of spoilt milk by the people in milk diaries or at home.

Abstract. To date, few studies have focused on perceived overprotection from the perspective of people with dementia (PwD). In the present examination, the association of perceived overprotection in PwD is examined as an autonomy-restricting factor and thus negative for their mental well-being. Cross-sectional data from the prospective DYADEM study of 82 patient/partner dyads (mean age = 74.26) were used to investigate the association between overprotection, perceived stress, depression, and quality of life (QoL). The analyses show that an overprotective contact style with PwD has a significant positive association with stress and depression, and has a negative association with QoL. The results emphasize the importance of avoiding an overprotective care style and supporting patient autonomy.
