Food MicrobiologyViable and Total Bacterial Populations Undergo Equipment- and Time-Dependent Shifts during Milk ProcessingMilk undergoes sustained contact with the built environment during processing into finished dairy products. This contact has the potential to influence the introduction, viability, and growth of microorganisms within the milk. Currently, the population dynamics of bacteria in milk undergoing processing are not well understood. Therefore, we measured for total and viable bacterial composition and cell numbers in milk over time and at...
