Evaluation of Microbiological and Physico-Chemical Quality of Raw Milk from Sibiu Dairy Farm Province of Romania

摘要

Research aims at benchmarking the quality of raw milk supplied by four private farms in the county of Sibiu at a distance of about 25 km each for a period of three months (April, May, June 2010). Samples were subject to particularly microbiological measurements (total number of germ and somatic cells), physico-chemical (acidity, fat density, non-fat dry matter, protein and freezing point titre) by international standard methods. The results of the four farms show different variations of the parameters analyzed as follows: 55.5% of the samples fall in physico-chemical parameters of standard quality and 79% of the samples fall within the parameters of microbiological quality standard and within the limits provided by law
