Optimization of quality indicators of raw milk and dairy products
Milk is a part of many food products. In the expert assessment of raw material quality, primary attention should be paid to its microbiological safety, since poisoning with dairy products is a common cause of gastrointestinal tract diseases. The experiment was conducted on the basis of the Educational and Production Livestock Complex of the FSBEI HE RSAU – MAA n.a. K.A. Timiryazev (city of Moscow). The purpose of the study is to optimize the quality indicators of raw milk and dairy products. A method of raw milk processing has been studied to reduce the number of potentially dangerous microorganisms in the products produced from it. The fact of changes in organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters under the influence of an electromagnetic field is established; the quantitative and qualitative composition of milk and yogurt microorganisms is assessed. The article describes the issues of ensuring the microbiological safety of raw milk and suggests a method for optimizing the sanitary and hygienic indicators of dairy products, in accordance with the current requirements of regulatory documents.
