Physicochemicls And Microbial Quality Of Local Fermented Milk

ABSTRACTCulturally, consumption of local fermented skimmed milk (nono/tsala) is common in Northern Nigeria and many other parts of Africa and it is sometimes associated with microbial diseases due to poor hygienic practice. Hence, this study was conducted with the objectives of assessing the microbial quality and some physicochemical parameters, a purposive sampling was used to collect a total of 12 different samples from Dutse local government, Jigawa state. The results obtained showed that the pH of the samples ranged between 4.890±0.01414 and 4.450  ±0.07071, with titratible acid value…
