Abstract

The following research was conducted to evaluate the quality of raw cow's milk at the level of individual milk producers, which is considered the first step for the production of safe and high-quality milk. For testing raw milk for the presence of certain specific bacteria, were taken 45 samples of fresh raw cow's milk. Raw cow's milk samples are analyzed for the possible presence of certain specific pathogens such as E. coli, coagulase-positive staphylococci, Enterobacteriaceae, and Total Coliform bacteria. An increase in the total number of bacteria and the number of somatic and contamination with some specific pathogenic bacteria leads to a change in organoleptic markers in raw milk. The changes that occur in raw milk are conditioned by the number and type of microbiological agents. Most often these changes refer to just one mistake, a mistake in the taste, smell, aroma, or consistency of the dairy product. However, in cases of greater microbial contamination, all organoleptic errors can occur simultaneously. In addition, every slightest change due to the presence of microbiological causes of spoilage reduces the nutritional value of the product. Despite its importance for overall quality, control of spoilage microorganisms is not mandatory for the dairy industry, and the products are controlled by an insignificant number of producers. These tests aim to prove the presence of certain specific types of pathogenic bacteria in raw milk.
