Possibilities for Radiocesium Decontamination of Kefalograviera Cheese Through Modifications of the Standard Manufacture Method
نویسنده
چکیده
The transfer of radiocesium during all phases of kefalograviera cheese making was monitored, and the corresponding transfer coefficients were determined. To reduce the radiocesium concentration of the final product, modifications of the standard cheese making procedure, as single and double curd washing, were investigated. The transfer coefficients from milk to cheese were determined as .33 and .22, .15 for the standard and the modified (single and double curd washing) procedures, respectively. Milk to curd transfer coefficients were also measured and total Cs recovery was verified. Changes in the composition and taste of the product due to the modifications of the standard procedure were also investigated and remedies are proposed. (

Study on the growth and survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 during the manufacture and storage of Iranian white cheese in brine
The behaviour of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was studied during the manufacture and storage of Iranian white cheese in brine. Cheese was manufactured using pasteurized cow milk and inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 with inoculum level of 103 cfu/ml. Four treatments were designed. Cheeses were made with or without starter culture and kept immersed in 6 or 8% salt brine during ripening and storage. Ch...

متن کاملEstimation of the Vertical Distribution of Radiocesium in Soil on the Basis of the Characteristics of Gamma-Ray Spectra Obtained via Aerial Radiation Monitoring Using an Unmanned Helicopter
After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, the vertical distribution of radiocesium in soil has been investigated to better understand the behavior of radiocesium in the environment. The typical method used for measuring the vertical distribution of radiocesium is troublesome because it requires collection and measurement of the activity of soil samples. In this study, we establi...
متن کاملAtmospheric Direct Uptake and Long-term Fate of Radiocesium in Trees after the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
Large areas of forests were radioactively contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident of 2011, and forest decontamination is now an important problem in Japan. However, whether trees absorb radioactive fallout from soil via the roots or directly from the atmosphere through the bark and leaves is unclear. We measured the uptake of radiocesium by trees in forests heavily contaminated by the Fu...
