Abstract:

The different customer and regulatory specifications for mesophilic and thermophilic aerobic and anaerobic spore numbers in skim-milk powder, in addition to some specifications on specific spore-forming bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus, can be challenging for the industry to meet. Twenty-two samples of medium-heat skim-milk spray-dried powder from eight sources were analysed in triplicate with 16 bacterial and spore enumeration tests to understand the variety of spore-forming bacteria population. Using 16S rDNA sequencing, the species were identified for 269 isolates that were represe…
