abstract: fermented cucumber is a traditional lactic acid fermentation that is related to the presence of microorganisms. in this study, the use of suitable l. plantarum starter culture with l.bulgaricus and s. thermophilus to improve the cucumber fermentation process with high quality has been studied. cucumbers in brine containing 4 to 6% nacl and 0.2 to 0.4% inulin (w/v) were inoculated with...

background and objectives: this study is the first research on the physiochemical characteristics, microbial population and microstructure of poosti cheese over 90-days of ripening. the main difference between poosti cheese and other types of traditional cheese is the skin, which is used for its storage. materials and methods: physicochemical characteristics including moisture, salt, ph, acidit...

milk and dairy products are important components of a balanced diet. milk does have distinct physicochemical, biological and microbial characteristics. the bacterial contamination of milk not only reduces the nutritional quality but its consumption threatens health of the society. in this study, 100 pasteurized milk samples were collected randomly from tabriz city, northwestern and were analyze...

background: mosquitoes lay eggs in a wide range of habitats with different physicochemical parameters. ecological data, including physicochemical factors of oviposition sites, play an important role in integrated vector management. those data help the managers to make the best decision in controlling the aquatic stages of vectors especially using source reduction. methods: to study some physico...

ABSTRACT: Fermented cucumber is a traditional lactic acid fermentation that is related to the presence of microorganisms. In this study, the use of suitable L. plantarum starter culture with L.bulgaricus and S. thermophilus to improve the cucumber fermentation process with high quality has been studied. Cucumbers in brine containing 4 to 6% NaCl and 0.2 to 0.4% Inulin (w/v) were inoculated with...

sour cherry is one of the most important horticultural products in iran that consumes as fresh and dried fruit. in this research the effect of osmotic pretreatment on physicochemical, antioxiative and microbial characteristics of 4 cultivars of sour cherry: early jibilium, butermo, sigany and local were investigated. the samples were placed in different osmotic solution, dried and vacuum packed...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of addition of soymilk on physicochemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics of milk fermented with lactobacillus acidophilus. soybeans were blended 1:5 w/v with distilled water. the prepared soymilk was added to milk in combinations of 20%, 40%, and 60%. milk was used as the control. all the samples were sterilized and fermented w...
