Microbiological Activity
Microbiological contamination is a very serious issue for milk products. We conducted this test for coliform count and yeast and mould count. These microorganisms are responsible for many food-borne diseases. Due to improper or poor hygienic condition during the manufacturing process, microorganisms may occur in the finished product. All the 12 curd brands were found to be free from any microbial contamination. Coliform count as well as yeast and mould count in all the brands was found to be <10 cfu/gm, thereby meeting the requirement.
