- Abstract
Milk has a very important role for human diet, being indispensable for the growth and development of human body (Young IV. Park and at., 2013). The aim of this paper was to analyse the quality of milk, obtained under a farm of bovine, in laşi County. For the purpose investigations, have been used samples of fresh milk, harvested directly from farm, in sterile containers and very well homogenised. The acidity of milk, indicated a mean value of16.48°T (degrees Thorner), which proves a properly freshness of samples analysed. The fat content was in the range of 3,69%-4,78%. Therefore, if we relate to standard it is considered that the milk has a high fat content. The average content of casein was 2,89%. After perform the reductase test, the milk analysed was range in second quality class, with a content of 202520 NCS/mL, somatic cells, value located below maximum limit admissible in European norms. The physico-chemical analyzes have generated results which falls within the limits of specific standards, thus demonstrating, the quality of the analyzed samples. By the application of heat treatment (pasteurization/sterilization), would be significantly reduce the microbial load of milk and also, would be increase the consumer safety.
