Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the microbial quality and physicochemical properties of raw and pasteurized milk from the Tangail District of Bangladesh. background: None Methods: A rigorous study was carried out from April - August 2019 at the Tangail District of Bangladesh for investigation. A total of 18 samples were examined by following the standard bacteriological methods and by using a refractometer and digital pH meter. objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the microbial quality and physicochemical properties of raw and pasteurized milk from Tangail District of Bangladesh Results: The results revealed that the highest log of Total Viable Count (TVC) was found as 6.9 and 8.7 CFU/ml in raw and pasteurized milk, whereas the highest log of Total Coliform Count (TCC) was found as 4.4 and 6.3 CFU/ml in raw and pasteurized milk, respectively. When the mean value is greater, then the mean value is displayed on the graph as a logarithm. The highest log of Total E. coli Count (TEcC) was 6.6 and 6.4 CFU/ml in raw and pasteurized milk, whereas the highest log of Total Staphylococcus Count (TSC) was found as 7.6 and 6.5 CFU/ml in raw and pasteurized milk, respectively. The highest mean PH value was 7.43 and 7.19 in raw and pasteurized milk and the greatest mean value of Total Soluble Solids (TSS) was found at 6.33 and 10.33% in raw and pasteurized milk. method: A rigorous study was carried out from April - August 2019 at the Tangail District of Bangladesh for the investigation. A total of 18 samples were examined by following the standard bacteriological methods and by using refractometer and digital pH meter. Conclusion: It can be summarized that both raw and pasteurized milk bear higher microorganisms than standards. It might hurt consumers in the long term. So, the milk producers should be trained properly and the apposite authority should inspect hygienic conditions around milk production and processing and marketed milks to ensure the minimal legal requirements. result: The results revealed that the highest log of TVC was found as 6.9 and 8.7 CFU/ml in raw and pasteurized milk, where the highest log of TCC was found as 4.4 and 6.3 CFU/ml in raw and pasteurized milk.

It might hurt consumers in the long term. So, the milk producers should be trained up properly and apposite authority should inspect hygienic conditions around milk production and processing and marketed milks to ensure the minimal legal requirements. other: None
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
