Four strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from different genus، species and
sources were tested for their abilities to bind of AFM1 for 14 hours.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus LC705 showed higher ability to bind AFM1 (88.35%)،
followed by Bifidobacteri
um bifidum BG1 (84.21%), Lactobacillus bulgaricus
R21 by 80.41% and finally Streptococcus thermophilus by 71.52% after 14
hours of incubation.
In this research, we have measured the radioactivity resulting from the Cesium-137 and Potassium-40 isotopes, in milk samples (from different sources) in Lattakia’s regions. It has been found that all samples were not contaminated by Cesium-137, but
it was recorded that all samples containing radioactivity resulting from the Potasium-40 isotope with a magnitude range between , and average value . As compared with other world results, there was a good agreement between them, taking into account the errors in measurements.
A total of 294 samples of raw-unpasteurized bovine milk and variety of
dairy products (hard cheese, sweet cheese, cream cheese and cream), were
collected from local markets in Lattakia city as well as 44 samples of used water
(clear potable water
collected before used in cheese preparing processes) and
preserving water (turbid water collected from hard cheese preserving tanks).
All samples were analyzed for E.coli O157: H7 detection.
the residual lead effect in cows milk was
studied in the Governant of Tartous. For this end,135 dairy cows in
different milking seasons and from three different farm stationes
(Zahed cow station,Cement factory farm station and Banias refinery
cow
station) were used.
The objective of the study was to accurately determine lead
concectrations in cows milk in the three different farms. Samples of
milk,soil,water and feedstuff were collected and lead concentration
was determined then statistically analyzed.
