Despite being important etiological agents of waterborne illness, the sources, transport and decay of human viruses in recreational waters are not well understood. This study examines enterovirus and adenovirus concentrations in coastal water samples collected from four beaches impacted by microbial pollution: (1) Malibu Lagoon, Malibu; (2) Tijuana River, Imperial Beach; (3) Baja Malibu, Baja C...

Twelve different liquid market milks of Bangladesh were examined to evaluate their chemical and sanitary quality. Six of these were open raw milk bought from local daily markets and the other six were processed packet milk (both pasteurized and UHT [Ultra High Temperature] processed) available in shops. The twelve samples were examined for the determination of percentage of water, total soluble...

Emerging economies have often poor hygiene practices in traditional milk and dairy production all over the world. Therefore, pathogenic bacteria in milk pose major public health concerns especially for those communities who still consume raw milk. Escherichia coli and coliforms are often used as indicator microorganisms, so their presence in food implies poor hygiene and sanitary practices. The...

The composition and intake of milk by mother-reared puppies was studied to compare protein and energy intakes of puppies with estimated requirements. Milk samples were obtained from five beagle bitches over the period of 7-37 days postpartum. Dog milk contained on average 22.7% dry matter, 9.47% fat, 7.53% protein, 3.81% sugar and 146 kcal gross energy per 100 g. Protein comprised 31% of milk e...

Introduction: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the members of the genus Brucella. This bacterium is transmitted to humans through exposure to infected animals or via consumption of contaminated dairy products. Cultivation of the bacteria or amplification of its DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are conventional diagnostic approaches for definitive identification of Brucella i...

in this research, a mixture of mpc, wpc, smp, soy milk, margarine, butter and water was used for production of uf-feta cheese analogue.variables were mpc (8%, 9%, 10%), wpc (0%, 1.5%, 3%), soy milk (5%, 10%, 15%) and margarine (0%, 5%, 10%). chemical (total solids, protein, acidity) and sensory (color and appearance, aroma, texture, flavor, total acceptance) properties of samples were analyzed ...

New research from California confirms the safety of pasteurized mother’s milk for HIV-exposed babies (Israel-Ballard, 2005). Two methods of heat-treatment, known as Flash-Heating and Pretoria Pasteurization, were compared to assess their impact on HIV and antimicrobial properties of breast milk, as well as on nutrient content.Milk samples were spiked with clade C HIV-1 (the sub-type found in ar...

conclusions clinically, these results are logical because the required dose of alkaloids for treatment of diarrhea is lesser than the needed doses to treat addiction, arthralgia, and paralysis. results the first itm method reduced the strychnine level from 1.083 to 0.577 and brucine from 0.739 to 0.361. for the second and third itm methods, the levels of strychnine reached 0.838 and 0.812, and ...
