Numerical Taxonomy of the Genus Pseudomonas from Milk and Milk Products

Numerical taxonomy of the genus Glycyrrhiza in the Hyrcanian region

Noticeable variation was observed in a number of morphological characters in the Glycyrrhiza specimens in various habitats in north of Iran. To study these variations, two taxa related to the Hyrcanian region from all four known taxa of this genus in Iran, including Glycyrrhiza echinata, and G. glabra var. glabra were studied by numerical taxonomy using morphological characters in three provinc...

Lactulose: Significance in Milk and Milk Products

Lactose, a unique disaccharide, occurring exclusively in the mammalian milk plays an important role in nutrition. Most of the lactose that is manufactured on an industrial scale is produced from whey derived from the production of cheese, casein or paneer using crystallization and purification technologies. Lactose can be converted to various derivatives like lactitol, lactobionic acid, galacto...

Public health and the safety of milk and milk products from sheep and goats.

Goats and sheep rank third and fourth in terms of global milk production from different species, but unlike cow milk, which has stringent hygiene and quality regulations, microbiological standards for the production and distribution of goat milk and sheep milk are more relaxed. Difficulties in managing the sanitary quality of sheep and goat milk derive from a series of factors including the low...

Electron Microscopy of Milk and Milk Products: Problems and Possibilities

Milk and dairy products have frequently been studied by transmissionand scanning electron microscopy. The specimen preparation procedure may considerably influence the final result, and formation of artefacts is frequently observed. In this respect, formation of ice crystals during cryofixation is a well-known phenomenon. But dehydration, to an extent such as is required for embedding procedure...
