The development of bio-based primary packaging is imperative to improve food safety and quality, along with mitigating the environmental pollution resulting from the increasing production of packaging wastes. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) has received significant attention as an alternative raw...

Listeria monocytogenes causes foodborne listeriosis, which is an important food safety and public health problem. Monitoring them in the food chain using simple and affordable methods is of paramount importance to avoid untoward consequences. In this study, we have developed and evaluated a novel...

Thymol forms eutectic solvents with lauric acid under appropriate mixing ratios. These eutectic solvents were shown to have a lower melting point, weaker irritatibility, and stronger antibacterial activity than pure thymol. However, the application of these eutectic solvents is currently limited by ...

Listeria monocytogenes is a significant pathogen that causes listeriosis in humans and small ruminants. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance and risk factors of L. monocytogenes in small dairy ruminants in Jordan. A total of 948 milk samples were collected from 155...

In cheese-making, a starter culture composed of adequately chosen lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may be suitable to ensure the rapid acidification of milk, improve textural and sensory characteristics, and avoid pathogen proliferation. In this work, 232 LAB isolates collected from artisanal goat's raw ...

In this study, the microbiological quality of traditionally fermented milk from Northern Uganda and Western Kenya was analysed. Six samples of typical traditionally fermented milk were collected randomly from traditional cattle keepers in Karamojong (UG 1) and Acholi (UG 2) in Northern Uganda and...

Milk plays a significant role in supplying the essential nutrients for a healthy and balanced existence and is a crucial source of nourishment for millions of people worldwide. Cattle, buffaloes, goats, and sheep are the animals that provide the majority of the world's milk, making the dairy...

Objective. The aim of this study is to evaluate the hygienic and sanitary quality of bovine milk from dairy farms of Nariño, Colombia by determining the presence of environmental microorganisms of public health importance such as Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157, Listeria monocytogenes, ...

Contamination of raw or unpasteurized milk with zoonotic pathogens can seriously affect public health. In this study, milk samples were collected from sheep/goat and bovine farms in Diyarbakır province engaged in home breeding to investigate the prevalence of pathogens in raw milk. A total of 253...

Food safety remains the main health concern in the developing countries. Thus, the major purpose of the present study was to characterize and determine antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Listeria monocytogenes from raw milk samples collected from southern Ethiopia. Two hundred and forty raw cow ...
