Milk Spoilage: Methods and Practices of Detecting Milk Quality

undesirable spoilage in certain products. Coliforms, a common form of bacteria, have been an indicator of the presence of pathogens in assessing the contamination of water as well as dairy products [10].

Most of the radiation from the decay of cobalt-60 is in the form of gamma emissions; some is in the form of beta particles. Beta particles are generally absorbed in the skin and do not pass

of most bacteria, including food pathogens, spoilage bacteria, and the lactic acid bacteria used in vegetable fermentations, are readily destroyed by heating to 160°F (71°C), especially when the pH is low. Acid and low pH are also toxic to most bacteria. This is why vegetable fermentations are useful for food preservation. The lactic
