Analytical Methods for Milk and Milk Products : Volume 1: Sampling Methods and Chemical and Compositional Analysis

This new three-volume set comprehensively illustrates a wide range of analytical techniques and methodologies for assessing the physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of milk and milk products to ensure nutritional and technological quality and safety of milk and milk products. Volume 1: Sampling Methods and Chemical and Compositional Analysis covers analysis of milk and milk products with a description of the main analytical techniques and methodologies and their application to the compounds involved in nutritional and technological quality. The volume first describes sampling methods and chemical analysis of milk, highlighting the standard methods used for calibration of different glassware, sampling procedures of milk and milk products, and the physicochemical and compositional aspects and assessment of the quality of raw milk intended for processing and manufacturing. The book describes the compositional analysis of frozen and fat-rich products, including the physicochemical and compositional analysis of dairy products that include cream, butter, butter oil, clarified fat (ghee), ice cream, and frozen desserts. Each of the laboratory exercises includes an introduction, objective, principle of method, chemicals and apparatus required, sample preparation, experimentation, data collection sheet and calculations, and resource materials. Volume 2: Physicochemical Analysis of Concentrated, Coagulated, and Fermented Products focuses on various analytical methods for physicochemical and compositional analysis of concentrated, coagulated, and fermented dairy products in detail. It also describes the standard methodologies for the analysis of nutraceutical components and food additives commonly used in various dairy products to meet technological and nutritional quality standards. Volume 3: Microbiological Analysis, Isolation, and Characterization delves into various aspects of bacterial enumeration, pathogen detection, mastitis milk identification, quality testing for starter cultures, isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), safety assessment protocols for probiotics, DNA isolation methods, molecular characterization techniques, and statistical tools for laboratory data analysis. It presents an in-depth description of the methodologies for isolation, identification, and confirmatory tests for various hygiene and safety indicator organisms. Together, these three volumes will be a complete and thorough reference on analytical methods for milk and milk products. The volumes will be valuable for researchers, scientists, food analysts, food analysis and research laboratory personnel involved in the area of milk and milk products analysis as well as for faculty and students.
