A study was conducted to evaluate the chemical and microbiological quality of pasteurized milk samples belonging to five brands: Milk vita, Tatka, Farm Fresh, Aarong and RD milk. Pasteurized milk of different brands were collected from the retail store of Sylhet city and the laboratory examination was conducted at Dairy Science Laboratory under the Dept. of Dairy and Poultry Science, Sylhet Agr...

More than 90 percent of people in developed countries do live and work in closed and confined places; offices and residential buildings. This is why in this new world more fresh air which is generally provided by forced ventilation plays a vital role in living of human being.

BACKGROUND Human milk, which contains compounds beneficial to infants, is often expressed and stored before use. Changes in its antioxidant activity with storage have not been studied. OBJECTIVES To measure antioxidant activity of fresh, refrigerated (4 degrees C), and frozen human milk (-20 degrees C), stored for two to seven days; to compare the antioxidant activity of milk from mothers del...

Introduction Allergy to cow’s milk is the most common allergy found in infants and young children. The estimated prevalence of milk allergy is 2-7.5% (Vandenplas) and the variability relates to diagnosis methods used and services available in any given demographic area.

the suitability of milk preserved by refrigeration and co2 addition for the manufacture of plain yoghurt using two commercial strains of lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and streptoccocus thermophilus and probiotic yoghurt by lactobacillus acidophilus was evaluated. yoghurts (plain and probiotic) manufactured after milk pasteurization, from fresh and refrigerated co2 treated samples (p...

Cows' milk--fresh, boiled, and processed in different ways for the domestic market, and various infant milk formulae--was investigated for its sensitising capacity in the guinea-pig after being fed for 37 days. The anaphylactic sensitising capacity was considerably reduced by heat-treatment. As heat becomes more intense and more prolonged so beta-lactoglobulin and casein become less sensitising...

OBJECTIVES To screen novel small molecule compounds for inhibition of Mycoplasma bovis growth and to characterize their activity in terms of dose-dependency and ability to function in milk. METHODS Using a tetrazolium salt cytotoxicity assay, 480 natural compounds were screened to determine which of the small molecules have the potential to become therapeutic options for M. bovis prevention a...
