Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are an industrial important group of organisms that notable for their inability to respire without growth supplements. Recently described bioelectroanalytical detectors can specifically detect and enumerate microorganisms depend on a phenomenon known as extracellular electron transport (EET) effective detection. EET is often type microbial respiration, which logically...

The presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in dairy products has long been established but the occurrence of this particular group of bacteria in Pakistani fruits has rarely been focused. Therefore, different lactic acid bacteria generally found in fruits, cultivated in Pakistan were studied using microscopic analysis as well as the technique of ribotyping. Following the culture enrichment meth...

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of natural casing treatment with nisin and phosphoric acid on control of spoilage microorganisms in vacuum packaged sausages. Ovine casings were dipped in the following baths: 1) 0.1% food grade phosphoric acid; 2) 5.0 mg/L nisin; 3) 0.1% phosphoric acid and 5.0 mg/L nisin; and 4) sterile water (control). The sausages were produced in a pilot plant...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of propolis on biochemical and microbiological parameters in muscle tissues of carp (cyprinus carpio, linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. a sublethal concentration of arsenic (0.01 ppm) and/or 0.01 ppm propolis were administered to fish for seven days. biochemical parameters [ph, lactic acid, total volatile basic nitrogen (tvb-...
