Simple and inexpensive techniques based on the monitoring of change
in color of milk in methylene blue dye reduction test due to
metabolic activity of the viable bacterial cells and routine
analysis such as travel time, temperature of milk, solid-not-fat,
%fat, acidity and specific gravity are presented in this book. The
change in dye color was recorded as voltage signal of a specially
designed light sensing probe (LSP) for about 40 min. Subsequently,
the output voltage of LSP was interfaced with a PC to predict and
display the SPC (cfu/ml) and MBRT (h) of raw milk along with its
quality grade in real time. The predictions of raw milk quality
grades based on the calibration of LSP output voltage with SPC and
MBRT were in good agreement with actual grades showing considerable
promise for this novel assessment technique. Also, data mining
techniques can be applied to predict raw milk quality in terms of
MBRT from the independent parameters of raw milk quality. Various
data mining techniques used to predict microbial quality against
the actual observed quality to classify milk into 4 quality grades.
