Description
Book SynopsisThis valuable resource on the microbiological analysis of milk and milk products delves into various aspects of bacterial enumeration, pathogen detection, mastitis milk identification, quality testing for starter cultures, isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), safety assessment protocols for probiotics, DNA isolation methods, molecular characterization techniques, and statistical tools for laboratory data analysis. It presents an in-depth description of the methodologies for isolation, identification, and confirmatory tests for various hygiene and safety indicator organisms.
Together with Volume 1: Sampling Methods and Chemical and Compositional Analysis and Volume 2: Physicochemical Analysis of Concentrated, Coagulated, and Fermented Products, this 3-volume work is a valuable resource on the scientific analysis of milk and milk products.
