A Comprehensive Dairy Microbiology

This comprehensive book provides a thoroughly updated and expanded treatment of dairy microbiology from basic information on dairy foods to special topics, including the microbiology of milk, producing animals, probiotics, and conversion of why into useful products. Applied Dairy Microbiology discusses the microbiology of the rumen and the role of microorganisms in milk synthesis explores the causes and contamination of raw milk which offers solutions to problems associated with raw mild, fluid milk products, concentrated and dried milk. A dairy is a building used for the harvesting of animal milk mostly from cows or goats but also from buffalo sheep horses or camels for human consumption. A dairy is typically located on a dedicated dairy farm or section of a multipurpose farm that is concerned with the harvesting of milk. Terminology differs between countries. For example a farm building where milk is harvesting is often called a milking Parlor. Milk and milk products occupy a more significant role in the human food profiles. The study of microorganisms that are associated with milk and milk products in all aspects is defined as Dairy Microbiology. Milk is described as a whole, fresh, clean, lacteal secretion obtained from the complete milking of healthy milch animal containing the minimum prescribed levels of fat and solids non-fat. The present book provides thorough coverage of dairy microbiology principles as well as practical applications including the latest developments in dairy starter cultures and genetic engineering techniques. The book also offers completely updated standards for good manufacturing practice, quality control and product development practices.

Throughout the world, milk and milk products are indispensablecomponents of the food chain. Not only do individual consumers useliquid milk for beverages and cooking, but food manufacturers usevast quantities of milk powder, concentrated milks, butter, andcream as raw materials for further processing. Effective qualityassurance in the dairy industry is needed now more than ever. Thiscompletely revised and expanded Third Edition of Dairy MicrobiologyHandbook, comprising both Volume I: Microbiology of Milk and VolumeII: Microbiology of Milk Products, updates the discipline’sauthoritative text with the latest safety research, guidelines, andinformation. Pathogens have become a major issue in dairy manufacturing.Escheria coli is a concern, and milk-borne strains of Mycobacteriumavium sub-sp. paratuberculosis have been identified as a possiblecause of Crohn’s disease. Even little-known parasites likeCryptosporidium have caused disease outbreaks. Consequently, ahazard analysis of selected control/critical points (HACCP) in anymanufacturing process has become essential to prevent thecontamination of food. This volume also: -Discusses new diagnostic techniques that allow a pathogen to bedetected in a retail sample in a matter of hours rather thandays -Provides thorough coverage of dairy microbiology principles aswell as practical applications -Includes the latest developments in dairy starter cultures andgenetic engineering techniques -Offers completely updated standards for Good ManufacturingPractice Quality control and product development managers,microbiologists, dairy scientists, engineers, and graduate studentswill find the Third Edition of Dairy Microbiology Handbook to be avital resource.

This thoroughly revised and updated reference provides comprehensive coverage of the latest developments and scientific advances in dairy microbiology-emphasizing probiotics, fermented dairy products, disease prevention, and public health and regulatory control standards for dairy foods. Containing more than 2350 bibliographic citations, tables, dr

The objective of this book is to provide a scientific background to dairy microbiology by re-examining the basic concepts of general food microbiology and the microbiology of raw milk while offering a practical approach to the following aspects: well-known and newfound pathogens that are of major concern to the dairy industry. Topics addressed incl

This book covers recent developments in types, classifications, and genetic traits of indigenous milk microorganisms and dairy starter cultures. It also discusses biochemical reactions taking place in different dairy products and microorganisms involved in such reactions. The text provides strategies for rapid detection of pathogenic and non-pathog

An authoritative guide to microbiological solutions to common challenges encountered in the industrial processing of milk and the production of milk products Microbiology in Dairy Processing offers a comprehensive introduction to the most current knowledge and research in dairy technologies and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and dairy associated species in the fermentation of dairy products. The text deals with the industrial processing of milk, the problems solved in the industry, and those still affecting the processes. The authors explore culture methods and species selective growth media, to grow, separate, and characterize LAB and dairy associated species, molecular methods for species identification and strains characterization, Next Generation Sequencing for genome characterization, comparative genomics, phenotyping, and current applications in dairy and non-dairy productions. In addition, Microbiology in Dairy Processing covers the Lactic Acid Bacteria and dairy associated species (the beneficial microorganisms used in food fermentation processes): culture methods, phenotyping, and proven applications in dairy and non-dairy productions. The text also reviews the potential future exploitation of the culture of novel strains with useful traits such as probiotics, fermentation of sugars, metabolites produced, bacteriocins. This important resource: Offers solutions both established and novel to the numerous challenges commonly encountered in the industrial processing of milk and the production of milk products Takes a highly practical approach, tackling the problems faced in the workplace by dairy technologists Covers the whole chain of dairy processing from milk collection and storage though processing and the production of various cheese types Written for laboratory technicians and researchers, students learning the protocols for LAB isolation and characterisation, Microbiology in Dairy Processing is the authoritative reference for professionals and students.
