Quality control of pasteurized fluid milk can be complex and requires the understanding of microbial contamination, both in raw and processed milk. Aseptic and representative sampling plays an important role in monitoring raw milk quality and process monitoring for contamination within the dairy plant. Fluid milk (A commonly used term in the industry for milk…
Raw Milk Quality Testing for Identifying Microbial Contamination Sources One key step to monitoring raw milk quality is raw milk microbial testing, a meticulous monitoring process that examines raw milk’s microbiological parameters. Using QualiTru’s sampling systems, such as the TruStream Septa and TruStream Ports, allows for effective process monitoring for issues such as somatic cell counts (SCC), milk…

Biofilm Challenges in Dairy AbstractMilk collected from the udder of healthy cows is virtually free of contaminating bacteria but microbial contaminants are introduced during milking, storage, processing, and distribution. Cleaning and sanitation failures allow contaminating organisms to accumulate in dairy processing equipment, potentially leading to the development of biofilms that can become a significant and…

Milk collected from the udders of healthy cows is almost sterile but microbial contaminants are introduced during milking, storage, processing, and distribution. Cleaning and sanitation failures allow contaminating organisms to accumulate in dairy processing equipment, potentially leading to the development of biofilms that can become a significant and persistent source of contamination. On the farm…
Throughout this series on dairy microbiological testing, we have discussed the types of micro tests that can be used to enumerate the classifications of bacteria we are concerned with in fluid milk processing. The first two articles discussed Gram-negative bacteria in raw milk and the effects of Gram-positive heat resistant thermoduric/psychrotrophic spore formers (HRSF) on…
