In the present investigation, the chemical composition of milk was determined and the detection of the presence of some additives and preservatives in raw cow milk obtained from rural area of Omdurman city Sudan was done. The milk samples (n= 120) were obtained from rural areas of North and South Omdurman. Significantly, (P≤0.05) higher values for the chemical constituents of the examined raw milk samples were reported in the samples from South Omdurman compared to those from North Omdurman. In addition, the results showed that the added water was found in 16.7% of the examined milk samples. Also, formaldehyde was used as a preservative in 19.2% of the samples, while boric acid was used as preservative in 25% of the milk samples in South Omdurman. However, sodium bicarbonate, hydrogen peroxide and starch were not detected. It was concluded that milk distributed in North and South Omdurman contains some adulterants. Hence control and monitoring programs should be directed towards the hygienic quality of milk during production and marketing.

Objectives: This study was carried out to evaluate physiochemical, adulteration and microbial quality of milk sold in Kathmandu Valley. Methods: The study was carried out in Microbiology Laboratory of DAV College. The total of 20 milk samples randomly collected from different places of the valley including 10 pasteurized milk sample and 10 were raw milk sample, were processed for Physiochemical and Microbiological analysis. Result: The laboratory analysis revealed that the pasteurized samples has less mesophilic count as well as coliform count than raw milk samples. About 55% milk samples showed neutralizer test positive and 10% of milk samples were found to be positive for sugar test. However, none of the samples were found to contain starch as an adulterant. The average fat content of milk samples of Kathmandu Valley was 3%. Fat percent was significantly different among different sources of sampling points. The highest milk fat content value was recorded at Pulchowk (3.7%). The average SNF of Kathmandu Valley was 7% in which the pasteurized sample had the highest average SNF (7.3%) and the raw milk had lowest average SNF (6.8%). Conclusion: The significant variation in the physiochemical properties and microbial properties of the milk samples showed that people should be conscious about the consumption of market milk.

The study was undertakento detect the type of adulterants and preservatives added to the incoming fluid milk from rural areas to the Barisal city of Bangladesh. Total fifty milk samples were collected from five different entry points of Karapure, Dabdopia, Shaestabad, Goriarpar and Khanpura of Barisal district where ten samples were taken from each entry point. The results indicated that, 100% of the milk samples were adulterated with water irrespective of collection points and months. Cane sugar, powdered milk and starch were detected as 26.0, 14.0 and 12.0% in the milk samples, respectively. Two types of preservatives namely formalin and sodium bicarbonate were detected in the fluid milk from the study areas. Out of all samples, 10.0% was adulterated with formalin and 20.0% with sodium bicarbonate. However, none of the samples contained either hydrogen peroxide or borax. There was a positive relationship between day temperature and intensity of adding preservatives to the fluid milk. As the day temperature increased, the number of preservative positive samples also increased in a linear fashion and vice versa. It could therefore be inferred that, the consumers need to be more cautious regarding the quality of raw milk specially in summer season.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v41i2.14126Bang. J. Anim.

A vapor pressure osmometer requiring a 5- to 7-microliter sample to saturate a 0.64 cm filter paper disc fixed a digital readout of milliosmolality in 110 sec. A coefficient of variability of 0.70 was obtained on a raw milk sample tested 25 times when an acetone impregnated tissue was used to clean the sample chamber between tests. Two hundred individual cow milk samples from 20 herds averaged 280.0 ± 3.0 milliosmols. Milk samples containing up to 25% added water were evaluated on both the vapor pressure osmometer and a thermistor cryoscope with a resultant correlation coefficient of 0.991. A collaborative study involving eight hospital and industry laboratories was conducted. When the results of two laboratories were discarded, due to instrument maintenance problems, there were no significant differences among the laboratories in their abilities to quantitate added water in milk.

<p>The contamination of raw milk with psychrotrophic micro-organisms has become a concern because they are able to multiply at refrigeration temperatures and produce heat resistant enzymes that affect the quality of milk and dairy products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of acidification with CO<sub>2</sub> and HCl on mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria present in raw milk during cold storage. Raw milk samples were acidified with CO<sub>2</sub> and HCl 1N until pH 6,0 and stored at 5 &deg;C for 10 days. The results showed an average reduction of 1 logarithmic cycle in the growth of psychrotrophic and mesophilic microorganisms in samples treated with CO<sub>2</sub>. Acidification with HCl showed no effect, indicating that inhibitory action was due to CO<sub>2</sub> not by pH reduction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14685/rebrapa.v2i2.68</p>

Effectiveness of lactoperoxidase in raw cow milk was studied to observe the increase in shelf-life. Lactoperoxidase system was activated within two hours after milking by the addition of hydrogen peroxide and potassium thiocyanate, then milk was kept at different conditions viz. refrigerated condition (5±2)°C, room temperature (25±3)°C and at (35±2)°C. The keeping quality of raw milk was determined by the acidity, which when reached 0.18 % as lactic acid, was considered spoiled. Results indicated that the lactoperoxidase system (LP-s) increased the shelf-life of raw cow milk kept at room temperature (25±3)°C and refrigeration temperature (5±2)°C significantly (p<0.05);however no significant increase in shelf-life was observed between the control and LP-s treated raw milk sample held at (35±2)°C.

The main objective of this study is to assess nutritional and hygienic qualities of raw milk collected in situ in dairy cattle farms in the region of Guelma, Algeria. For this purpose, a total of 144 milk samples were collected and analyzed to determine their physicochemical characteristics and bacteriological quality. Results showed an acceptable nutritional quality, with a poor bacteriological quality. The average contamination was 11.69 x 105 CFU ml-1 for total flora, against 23.44 x 105 CFU ml-1 for total Coliforms and 7.34 x 104 CFU ml-1 for fecal Coliforms. In addition, 6% of total samples were positive for Clostridium. For the suspected pathogenic flora, Staphylococcus aureus has been detected in 9 samples; however, all milk samples were devoid of Salmonella. The poor quality of milk reflects the dismal conditions of production and the no-control of hygienic practices.

A comparative study of chemical qualities of raw milk of cow and goat was conducted at Livestock production and management (unit), Department of NRM, faculty of agriculture, MGCGV Chitrakoot – Satna (M.P.) during January, 2020. The objective was to find out the comparative chemical qualities of raw milk of cow and goat for three animal each viz., cow and goat for ten days as replication different parameter were subject to statistical analysis applying the technique of analysis of variance (f-test) the most widely used method for determining protein content by kjeldahi method for nitrogen determination since nitrogen is a characteristic can be finding. In view of the finding and results presented above, it may be concluded that the chemical quality of milk of cow was superior than goat milk, due to higher protein, specific gravity, fat content, lactose, total solid and solid not fat and lower ash and water content in cow milk.

Since milk is one of the most consumable products of human consumption and in Kosovo, it is one of the most prosperous agriculture branches and the continued support to farmers from the Ministry of Agriculture, European Commission and USID, through which we will offer knowledge about the quality of this milk. Quality milk production is the ultimate goal and goal of any milk producer and processor. On the other hand, the low quality of milk has a negative impact on all segments of the dairy industry, especially in the fresh milk processing segment.Our work provides testing of raw milk samples taken by farmers who send milk to milk collection points and dairies in order to determine the quality of your milk. As a monitoring point we have received the Vita dairy and Aldi dairy in the period January 2017 - October 2018, and we have presented a comparison of their results.

Summary Raw milk was processed through a commercial sized plate heat exchanger at temperatures of 160 F through 260 F with a 0.6 sec hold. Milk samples were collected at increments of 10 F during processing and analyzed for psychrophilic, mesophilic and thermophilic counts initially and at weekly intervals thereafter. All samples were held at 40 F after processing. Results indicated that temperatures of processing at 160 F and 170 F were not sufficient to impart acceptable keeping qualities to whole milk held at 40 F for a period of one week. By comparison, processing temperatures of 180 F through 210 F with 0.6 sec hold appeared to impart to whole milk keeping qualities which were approximately comparable to those observed in milk pasteurized according to present standards. When heat treatment in the range of 220 F through 260 F were used, it was indicated that bacteriological keeping quality of the milk was improved to an extent far beyond that experienced with present day commercial pasteurization. There appeared to be somewhat of a tendency for higher count raw milk related to the level of population in the processed product although the magnitude of this relationship was not clearly defined in all cases. It was evident that this process did not produce “commercially sterilized” milk at the processing temperatures and holding time used.

ABSTRACT The aim was to evaluate the microbiological, chemical- physical, and shelf-life quality of milk samples after pasteurization (HTST) for 10 days or ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment for 120 days. Raw milk counts of mesophilic aerobic microorganisms, Staphylococcus spp. and thermotolerant coliforms before HTST and UHT processing were 6.73 and 7.77; 2.84 and 4.30, and 4.68 and 4.37log10, respectively. Pseudomonas spp. were found in raw milk samples. No presence of any other microorganisms studied was detected and no microbial inhibitor was found. Processed samples met microbiological legal requirements. However, aerobic mesophilic counts for HTST pasteurized milk samples stored for 5 and 10 days increased to values comparable to those in raw milk. Composition chemical- physical of all samples were within legal limits. These results demonstrate that, although HTST and UHT processed milk comply with the microbiological standards required by Brazilian law, high microbial counts in raw milk are an issue, possibly due to failures in the early stages of the production chain. Increase in casein macropeptide (CMP), probably because of proteases psychrotrophic bacteria. It is concluded that the quality of raw milk directly influences the progressive increase of the CMP values.
