Background: This study aimed to identify tetracycline residues in milk consumed in the region of Constantine (northeast Algeria) using ELISA based tetracyclin kit. Methods: A total of 180 samples were analyzed (fresh cow milk and imported powdered milk). To compare ELISA and HPLC detection values, 22 fresh milk ELISA positive samples were confirmed by HPLC analysis. Result: 92.5% of fresh milk samples contained tetracycline residues at values between 5 and 74 µg/L and 33.3% of the samples showed concentrations between 49 and 74 µg/L, that exceed the MRLs recommended by the FDA. No significant differences (p greater than 0.01) were found between the values obtained by the two methods.

Background: The dairy sector faces formidable obstacles in the early detection of the bacteria causing subclinical mastitis and in the proactive treatment of those cases. The objective of the study was to access multiplex PCR assays (MPCR) and conventional methods for the concurrent identification of significant bacteria that cause sub-clinical mastitis and to compare these methods. 200 samples of pooled milk from cows and buffaloes in Rajasthan were gathered between 2020 and 2021. Methods: The primary bacterial pathogens in milk samples were identified using conventional methods such multiplex PCR, biochemical testing and culture. Result: From 200 combined samples of cow and buffalo milk, the traditional approach was able to extract 97 different strains. Staphylococcus aureus 54 (27%), Streptococcus spp. 30 (15%) and E. coli 13 (6.5%) were shown to be prevalent as single or mixed infections, respectively. Staphylococcus was the main pathogen that was discovered. concurrently, S. aureus, Streptococcus and E. coli. Direct detection of Staphylococcus 65 (32.5%), Streptococcus 37 (18.5%), E. coli and 16 (8%) by multiplex PCR was found in milk samples. The analysis revealed that because multiplex PCR assays have higher specificity and sensitivity than conventional procedures, they are more reliable. The multiplex PCR method employed in the current study was a simple and quick technique to identify the major pathogens and it has the potential to be a very helpful tool for determining the pathogens that cause environmental mastitis and evaluating the health of the herd.

Background: Some of the factors that contribute to the quality of milk include fat content, pH, viscosity and other rheological aspects. This research extensively investigated the effects of ohmic heating (OH) on milk viscosity, along with other rheological attributes and pH. Methods: Milk samples with varied fat constituents were subjected to OH at a constant voltage of 140V until they reached a temperature of 90°C. The pH of raw milk and heated milk was determined using an auto-pH meter, whereas the viscosity of the same was measured using a Brookfield viscometer that includes a wide range of characteristics, such as viscosity, temperature, shear stress and torque at various spindle rotation speeds. The current investigation used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a key statistical approach. Result: The pH values exhibited little fluctuations during OH across several milk kinds, indicating mild acidification throughout the process, but the observed alterations did not reach statistical significance (p greater than 0.05), suggesting that OH does not significantly affect milk pH. Viscosity measurements showed that the application of OH resulted in a decrease in the average viscosity of milk, suggesting changes in its ability to withstand shear forces. The correlation study revealed robust positive associations between viscosity and fat content (PC2 - 26.77%), as well as between rotational speed, shear rate and torque (PC1 - 53.72%) and a negative correlation with temperature, offering valuable insights into the dynamic properties of milk when subjected to thermal heat treatment.

Background: Cookies is one of the popular snacks preferred by all age group of people. Generally, cookies are made with refined wheat flour, sugar and fat which contain more of high calories and low dietary fibre leading to increased obesity rate. The consumers’ demand towards the nutritional needs in the desired food form can be satisfied with the cookies fortified with fruit or vegetable powders. Methods: The study was conducted to analyse the nutritional value and consumer acceptability of cookies fortified with pomegranate peel and grape must powder. The cookies prepared from maida served as control. The pomegranate peel and grape must were dehydrated, powdered and blended with wheat and pearl millet flour. Result: The results revealed that wheat flour cookies fortified with 5% grape must powder were highly acceptable with considerable increase in nutritional attributes. It can be concluded that use of fruit peel powder as one of the ingredients in cookies can be an alternate way to check food security and also provide an effective way for using fruit residues.

Background: India has the most significant milk production and consumption level in the world. Fluid milk consumption will rise to 90 million metric tons in FY 2024 (Annual Report 202-23, United States Department of Agriculture). Milk is an essential component of daily diet in every age segment in India. Consumers’ behaviour and consumption patterns are based on their choices and preferences about product quality, price and preferences. This article critically investigates the consumer perception towards indigenous dairy markets and their consumption and behavioural pattern. Methods: Quantitative approach and Multiple Logistic Linear Regression Analysis (MLLRA) technique was used to test the hypothesis to establish a direct and indirect relationship among endogenous and exogenous variables. The sample was drawn from rural and urban regions of India’s top ten milk-producing states. Result: The research findings suggested a significant relationship between the direct and indirect role of consumers buying behaviour characteristics towards milk and dairy products and their satisfaction level. This research is limited to milk processors, dairy companies and dairy scientists in the field of marketing and dairy research. Dairy Farmers, Processors and Producers are vigilant about the quality of food products, especially milk delivered to their end users and their value-addition in the Milk Supply Chain (MSC) and logistics. In the past three years, during the unprecedented COVID-19, consumers’ consciousness level about health and well-being has been argued.

Background: The consumption of functional ferments that have functional characteristic sand contributes enormously to the safety and quality of food by offering several nutritional, technological and health properties. Lactobacillus fermentum (Lb. fermentum) is a Gram-positive bacterium belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and many are said to have the effect of preventing gastro-intestinal infections and improving immunological response. Additionally, Lb. fermentum produces diverse and potent antimicrobial peptides which can be applied as alternatives to antibiotics. Methods: In this study, samples were isolated from two different ecological niches, the first was feces of newborn infants (0-3 months) and the second from bee’s intestine, from south of Algeria : Ghardaïa 32°29'00" North, 3°41'00" East. Two indigenous lactic acid bacteria were isolated and evaluated for their probiotic properties. The isolate identification by sequencing 16S r DNA was performed using the universal primers 27F and 1492R. The NCBI Gen Bank database was used to have similarity of species. Result: The cultures showed good survival in simulated transit fluids as well as high acid and bile tolerance. The isolates also demonstrated antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, the inhibition zone was measured between 10 mm and 20 mm of diameter respectively. Comparing the sequences of the isolates with the Gen Bank database (NCBI), a high percentage with species of Lactobacillus fermentum was shown.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought an unprecedented threat to the dairy sector and it faced disruptions primarily due to the perishable nature of dairy products and the breakdown of the supply chain. In this study, an attempt was made to quantify the economic losses faced by the members and non-members of the Dairy cooperative societies (DCS). Methods: The study was conducted in Howrah, Nadia and N-24 Parganas districts of West Bengal, India. A multistage sampling scheme was employed to select dairy farmers from each district. A total of 90 DCS member and 90 non-member dairy farmers were studied. The data collected from the farmers covered the three periods of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic i.e. pre-lockdown (January 01 2020 to March 23 2020), lockdown (March 24 2020 to May 31 2020) and post-lockdown period (June 01 2020 to December 31 2020). Result: The total cost of milk production increased significantly by around 1 to 3% for DCS members and around 1 to 5% for non-members. The net returns from dairying were reduced significantly for both DCS members and non-members but it was more for non-members (lockdown: 80 to 90%, post-lockdown: 32 to 60%) than the DCS members (lockdown: 10 to 18%, post-lockdown: 7 to 15%).

Background: Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer to have health benefits when consumed directly or processed. Regular administration of Probiotics would help in improving the gut microflora that has gained importance as bacteriotherapy which prevents the gastro-intestinal disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Vegans who are allergic or intolerant to dairy products can have the benefits of organic acids that are produced through fermentation. The present study was carried out to know the benefits of fermented products using kefir grains and fruits. Methods: The fermented product was tested for the evaluation of flavours, sensory, and shelf life which seemed to be very promising. In context to biomolecules, the product had a high concentration of absorbable protein, carbohydrate, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Result: The production of fermented beverages of certain fruits on a large scale, and its consumption may promote additional health benefits. The kefir beverage that is produced in this work may help to fill the gap between actual and innovative consumption of the fruits and kefir that may be recommended in the human diet with concern for their health.
