Title

The presence of Clostridium in milk and some dairy products

Abstract

In the work the most probable number (MPN) of spores of (a) sulphate (IV) reducing Clostridia, (b) gas forming (RCM), (c) Cl. tyrobutyricum (RCM-lactate) and (d) presumptive Cl. perfringens has been determined. In most samples of raw milk MPN (a, b, c, d) was in the range 1,0·101 – 1,0·103 in 1 l. In rennet ripening cheeses (market products class I) MPN (a, d) was below 2,0·102 in 1 g, (d) below 1 in 1 g (present in 21% of samples). In milk powder (class Extra and I) MPN (a) was below 2,0·102 in 1 g (present in 65% and 70% of samples).
