Radon is one of the most important radioactive gases.Radon emits alpha particles and ultimately,it can cause genetic disorders.There are many reports of carcinogenesis and its harmful effects.One way to get this gas into the body is by eating and drinking.In the meantime,milk is one of the most consuming foods that can be contaminated with radon.In this study, the concentration of radon gas was...

UNLABELLED Neonatal nutrition is an important subject in health in the short, medium and long term. In preterm newborns, nutrition assumes a predominant role for the child's overall development. Babies with uncoordinated swallowing or respiration may not have the necessary oral abilities to suck the mother's breast and will need to implement different feeding practices; one of them is changing ...

Introduction The use of pasteurized waste (i.e., nonsalable) milk as a liquid feed for calves has increased in recent years (NAHMS 2002; NAHMS 2007) due to greater availability of on-farm pasteurizers. Properly pasteurized waste milk can be a high-quality source of nutrients for young calves, and is oftentimes thought of as supporting superior calf health and performance compared with conventio...

BACKGROUND Human milk possesses bacteriostatic properties, largely due to the presence of immunological proteins. Heat treatments such as Holder pasteurization reduce the concentration of immunological proteins in human milk and consequently increase the bacterial growth rate. This study investigated the bacterial growth rate and the immunological protein concentration of ultraviolet (UV-C) irr...

The development of alternative microbiological techniques is driven by the necessity to meet the current needs to deliver rapid results in the manufacturing process of foods, but it is important that these methods be evaluated for each application. The objective of the present study was to assess the Petrifilm™ EB and the TEMPO(®) EB systems with ISO 21528-2:2004 for the count of Enterobacteria...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of evaporation and pasteurization of human milk on its biochemical and immunological composition and on its osmolarity. METHODS The samples of mature human milk were categorized into four study groups: in natura human milk, pasteurized human milk, human milk evaporated at 70% of the baseline volume and human milk pasteurized and evaporated at 70%, with 12 diffe...

Influence of storage temperature on the shelf life of the pasteurized milk and the enzymatic activity of psychrotrophic bacteria in whole and skimmed pasteurized milk were the main goals of the presented work. It was demonstrated that the storage temperature of 10C reduces the shelf life of pasteurized milk to one third in comparison with a storage at 4 C. The average shelf life of the full cre...

BACKGROUND Aflatoxins are one of the most potent toxic substances that occur naturally. Nowadays extensive attention has been taken to their existence in food and environment, as there is the possibility of harm to humans following chronic exposure to extremely low levels via food chain. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a hepatic carcinogenic metabolite found in the milk of lactating animals fed with con...

background aflatoxins are a group of very toxic compounds produced by a fungal species and are found in food products. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a type found in dairy products and resistant to pasteurization. afm1 can adversely affect hepatocytes in human and leading to various liver diseases. thus, it is essential to examine raw milk for the presence of afm1. conclusions according to the results ...
