Psychrotrophic bacteria in milk: How much do we really know?

Background Every day, people take milk or use milk products to cook and bake. When milk is stored at room temperature for days without boiling it goes bad because of the presence of bacteria in milk. For this reason, milk is stored at cold temperatures. However, some bacterial species are able to grow at cold temperatures hence cause defects in milk. This causes milk production companies to make losses even after applying required storage measures. According to Olivera, favarin, Luchese and McIntosh (2015), P. flourecsens, a psychrotrophic bacteria, is among microbes that cause such defects in milk.

The fact that humans continue to consume milk long after weaning exposes them to health problems on the long term. The hormones found in milk may cause several forms of cancer, while the high fat content may be partially responsible for the development of heart ...

Introduction

Every day people consume meat as food, and no individuals wonder if they eat organic beef, pork, lamb, mutton, chicken, or their cloned counterparts. This question arouses genuine interest, because citizens are mainly unaware of such a type of food for consumption. It should be noted that cloned animals, or clones, appear as a result of asexual reproduction of animals, using somatic cell nuclear transfer (Lee et al., 2012, p. 389). Cattle began to be cloned as early as in 1998, and farm animals are regarded ...

I have selected the following topic for this proposal: “Cloned animals and the safety of eating the products produced from them.” I chose this topic for the following reasons: Technology is improving at a rapid rate, and before long, cloning will be used as a way to get more produce at a cheaper cost and higher rate of efficiency. Cloned animals and their products are already being utilized throughout the United States. Cloning is going to become a widespread technology at some point in the near future, so I believe that by learning about potential negative effects now, I ...
