Within groups of similar proteins-for example whale-meat meals or fish meals of different manufacturethere may be large differences in nutritive quality but only relatively small differences in amino acid composition. From chemical and microbiological tests (Bunyan & Price, 1960; Ford, 1962) it appears that the differences in quality may not be specifically related to any one amino acid but ref...

A large outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Japan, caused by salt-pickled napa cabbage, highlighted potential hazards posed by this vegetable, which is a ready-to-use form of kimchi or some side dishes that does not undergo heat treatment. Here, microbiological quality of 500 commercial salted napa cabbages were examined (quantitative analysis: Aerobic Plate Count [APC], total coliforms [TC...

Due to the interest in the production and trading of yateí (Tetragonisca angustula) honey in the province of Misiones, Argentina, in this work we assessed microbiological and physicochemical parameters in order to contribute to the elaboration of standards for quality control and promote commercialization. Results showed that yateí honey samples had significantly different microbiological and p...

Water is one of the most important of all natural resources known on earth. It is important to all living organisms, most ecological systems, human health, food production and economic development. Analysis of Physicochemical and Microbiological parameters viz. colour, odour turbidity, pH ,total alkalinity, total hardness ,TDS, D.O. ,Fe ,F, river water and tube well water were determined in win...
