The effect of pH on the rheological and physical properties of analogue pizza cheese.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the pH levels (5.8, 6.0, 6.

Effect of addition of Syrian thyme () on physiochemical and sensory quality of Sudanese Mudaffara cheese during storage.

Unlabelled: This study was designed to introduce Syrian thyme () as a new additive flavor for Mudaffara cheese. Mudaffara cheese was prepared from cow's milk using the commonly used black cumin as control and Syrian thyme (0.3 and 0.

Chemical composition and detection of Aflatoxin M1 in camels and cows milk in Sudan.

A hundred samples of milk from camels and cows were analysed for chemical composition and M contamination. The results indicated that camel milk from traditional nomadic systems revealed significantly (P 0.05) higher values for protein, fat, lactose, solids-not-fat and density than that obtained from camel and cows kept in semi-intensive systems.

Alpha S1-casein polymorphisms in camel (Camelus dromedarius) and descriptions of biological active peptides and allergenic epitopes.

Milk samples of 193 camels (Camelus dromedarius) from different regions of Sudan were screened for casein variability by isoelectric focusing. Kappa-casein and beta-casein were monomorphic, whereas three protein patterns named αs1-casein A, C, and D were identified. The major allele A revealed frequencies of 0.

Aflatoxin M1 in raw and imported powdered milk sold in Khartoum state, Sudan.

The aim of this study is to determine the level of contamination of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in raw and imported powdered milk in Khartoum state, Sudan. Thirty-five samples of fresh cow milk were collected from different farms, based on the source of concentrated feed introduced to the dairy cows (locally vs. commercially produced) and the size of the farm (≤ 50 vs.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from raw camel milk samples.

In the present study 320 milk samples collected from 160 apparently healthy camels of three different locations in Sudan were investigated for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus resulting in the isolation of this bacterial pathogen from 28 milk samples from 24 camels. Twenty-five S. aureus were identified phenotypically and by PCR mediated amplification of species-specific genes or gene segments.

Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of methicillin/oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus intermedius isolated from clinical specimens during routine veterinary microbiological examinations.

Methicillin/oxacillin resistance of 10 S. intermedius strains was investigated by conventional and molecular methods. The strains tested had been isolated in Germany during routine veterinary microbiological examinations of specimens from a small animal clinic between May and September 2005.

Effect of mastitis on macro-minerals of bovine milk and blood serum in Sudan.

Milk and blood serum from clinically mastitis infected, subclinically mastitis infected and healthy Friesian cows (15 samples from each of 3 groups) were evaluated for macrominerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus). The milk from cows infected with subclinical mastitis revealed a significant decrease in potassium (P < 0.001) and a significant increase in sodium and phosphorus content (P < 0.
