Industrial high-pressure processing (HPP) was conducted on cow and goat milk in comparison to conventional heat pasteurization. No significant changes were found in the physico-chemical properties of the treated milk except for pH, where pasteurized cow milk experienced a decrease while goat milk’s pH increased for both pasteurized and HPP treated. HPP-treated cow and goat milk both achieved microbial shelf life of 22 days at 8 °C storage with no increase in Bacillus cereus, mesophilic aerobic spores, coliform, yeast and mold but slight increase in psychrotrophic bacteria and total plate count. Pasteurized goat milk was spoilt at the end of storage with exceeding count of psychrotrophic bacteria (9.0 × 108 CFU/mL) and total plate count (3.5 × 108 CFU/mL). HPP-treated cow milk exhibited higher physico-chemical stability than goat milk as evidenced by non-significant change of titratable acidity but goat milk experienced an increase of 0.04% averagely.
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.
