In this study, 3 different spice mixes were added just after blanching to mozzarella cheese produced by high moisture production method. The dough was kneaded and filled into to fibrous cases. After filling process, cheeses were stored for 28 days at 4 °C and 85 % of relative humidity. The following characteristics were measured: color parameters, milk acidity, total dry matter, maturation inde...

Background: In consideration for the increasing widespread use of genetically modified (GM) crops, one of the important issues for assessment is the effect of GM crops on soil microbial communities Objectives: In this study, T2 chitinase-transgenic cotton (line #57) and its non-transgenic line were investigated for bacterial and fungal dynamics...

A bacteriological distribution analysis of the air was carried out at 8 sites in each of 2 general hospitals in Ibb during the period February-June 2002. Only 3 sites, reception hall, hospital passages and outpatient clinic, gave meaningful values for the distribution of bacteria in the atmospheric air. In these locations, mean values for total plate count, lactose fermenting bacteria, haemolyt...

this research with the aims of microbial flora determination in pasteurized milk and it’s shelf life study based on microbial and physicochemical parameters were performed within 10 days. in this study, 60 pasteurized milk samples randomly were selected and then total count of bacteria and total psychrophilic bacteria count were performed. to investigate microbial flora of pasteurized milk, col...

High levels of airborne particulate matter (PM) and bacteria may exist in animal housing, which can be detrimental to the health of animals and workers. The sizes of these bioaerosols determine their aerialtransport behaviors and depositions in the respiratory tracts of animals and humans. However, little is known regarding the size distribution of airborne PM and bacteria in livestock houses, ...

background: edible films and coatings have potential benefits for food packaging, particularly meat products. these coatings prevent weight loss and texture changes during shelf life by reducing moisture loss in fresh and frozen meat products. in this study, effect of calcium alginate edible coating on microbial and chemical properties of refrigerated lamb meat over a period of  5 days was inve...

A rapid determination of the total bacterial count in drinking water is important to the operators of treatment plants and distribution systems. It will allow corrective measures in real-time, such as increasing the disinfectant dose or removing water that has high bacterial numbers. The present heterotrophic plate count (HPC) analysis takes seven days and is not useful for operational interven...
