Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This meticulously researched and information-rich book explores the complex relationship between the presence of bacteria in milk, contamination, and the storage of fresh milk. The author investigates the significance of the colon count in raw milk by testing milk collected under controlled conditions with varying levels of cleanliness and storage temperatures. The book explores the misconception that colon bacteria in milk is always indicative of fecal contamination and highlights the surprising discovery that, under normal production conditions containing low levels of manure and bacteria, the maximum colon count will not exceed 2000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. However, improper storage temperatures can lead to rapid multiplication, distorting colon count results. This book is a valuable reference for dairy and food scientists, providing critical insights into the factors that affect the quality and safety of milk.
