Enterococcus faecium, E. durans and faecalis species were isolated identified from traditional Urfa cheese samples which produced unpasteurized raw milk. The enterococcal load of the was between 4.4-5.6 log cfu g−1. High-level tetracycline, streptomycin, erythromycin, gentamycin, penicillin resistance determined in isolates. Multiple antibiotic also (20.4%) faecium (16.3%) strains. 36.7% isolat...

mChanges in the concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) in bovine, ovine and caprine milk cheeses manufactured with a plant rennet (flowers of Cynara cardunculus) were studied throughout a 68-day ripening period. The long-chain saturated (C16 :0 and C18 :0) and unsaturated (C18 :1, C18:2, and C18 :3) FFA were the most abundant at all stages of ripening. The overall concentration of FFA in fres...

BACKGROUND Raw ewe's milk, as used to manufacture Serra da Estrela Protected Designation of Origin cheese, was pre-treated by high pressure processing (HPP), using previously optimized conditions (121 MPa for 30 min), aiming evaluate its effect on milk technological properties subsequent cheese production, namely the impact resulting curd, whey and throughout ripening. RESULTS The yield increas...

Although many developed countries (USA, Canada, and several EU countries) allow raw milk cheese to be aged more than 60 days, these have strict standards for the aging conditions, such as temperature, of cheese. Spiking experiments were conducted with Camembert made from milk, assess microbiological safety days. We spiked Escherichia coli O157:H7 into different inoculation levels (high, medium,...

BACKGROUND Listeria monocytogenes is of major concern to the food industry in general and the dairy industry in particular. Little is known about incidence of this pathogenic bacterium in dairy products in Iran. METHODS A survey was made from 23 September 2006 to 22 June 2007 for Listeria species in ninety samples of traditional and industrial cheeses, in milk and surface where the cheeses we...

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the etiologic agent of paratuberculosis, a disease with considerable economic impact, principally on dairy cattle herds. Animals with paratuberculosis shed viable MAP especially in their milk, faeces and semen. MAP may have a role in the development of Crohn’s disease in humans via the consumption of contaminated milk and milk products. The c...

We sought to develop a typology describing structural, production, and socioeconomic characteristics of dairy systems that produce artisanal cheese compare it with only raw milk. Data on 204 milk producers 58 in Paraná State, Brazil, were collected through on-site surveys subjected descriptive analysis, factor means tests. Descriptive analyses applied characterize the sample production processe...

coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of the zoonotic disease q fever, and ruminants being considered as the main source for human infection. although the main route of infection in human is inhalation of contaminated aerosols, oral transmission by contaminated raw milk or unpasteurized dairy products is also a possible route of infection. raw milk or dairy products produced from unpasteuriz...
