Effects of Psychrotrophic Bacteria Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 and Serratia liquefaciens on Raw Milk Quality

Effects of Psychrotrophic Bacteria, Serratia liquefaciens and Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 on Yogurt Quality

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of proteolytic (Serratia liquefaciens, match %: 99.39) or lipolytic (Acinetobacter genomospecies 10, match %: 99.90) psychrotrophic bacteria (bacterial counts, analysis of free fatty acids (FFA) and analysis of free amino acids) on the microbial and chemical properties (yogurt composition), and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropho...

Incidence of psychrotrophic lipolytic bacteria in cow’s raw milk

The contamination of bulk samples of cow’s raw milk (n = 491) by psychrotrophic lipolytic bacteria (PLiBC), total count of psychrotrophic bacteria (PBC) and mesophilic bacteria (TBC) was monitored for two years on eight dairy farms and the correlations among these groups of bacteria were analysed. An increase in TBC, PBC and PLiBC and in the values of free fatty acids (FFA) was tested experimen...

Characterisation of Antibiotic-resistant Psychrotrophic Bacteria in Raw Milk

Psychrotrophic bacteria and milk and dairy products quality

The characteristics of microbial populations in raw milk at the time of processing has a significant influence on shelf life, organoleptic quality, spoilage and yields of the raw milk, processed milk as well as on the other dairy products. Unfortunately, cold and extended storage of raw milk, as a common practice in dairy sector today, favour the growth of psychrotrophic bacteria. Therefore, th...

Effect of refrigeration on prevalence and enumeration of psychrotrophic bacteria in raw milk

Fifty milk samples were assessed for prevalence and enumeration of coliform bacteria under refrigeration. Refrigeration exerted profound effect conferring diminished growth of Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Serratia, however, itfavoured Salmonella, E.coli and Klebsiella on other hand. Among them, Salmonella appeared with highest load both in pre-refrigerated (23%) as well as post-refrigerated (4...
