Published: May 2023

Background. A strategy to improve the nutritional content of moringa during its different stages of growth is through efficient fertilizers management. Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of cutting age and fertilization in the nutritional content of moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.). Methodology. A complete randomized block design was used with split plot arrangement (A/B) and four repetitions. Factor A: cut age, 60 and 120 days after transplantation (DAT). Factor B: soil fertilization with NPK (kg ha-1) in the doses 13-13-13 (T113), 26-26-26 (T226), 38-38-38 (T338) and control treatment without application (T4SA). The variables evaluated were: crude protein (CP), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) in stems and leaves. Statistical differences were found (p ≤ 0.05) for cutting age, fertilization with NPK and the interaction between both. Results. The interaction age of cut - fertilization with NPK, showed statistical differences (p ≤ 0.05); for the K in leaves and Zn in stem. According to the means test with Tukey (p ≤ 0.05) regarding factor A, the best treatment was at 60 DDT and T113, T226 and T338 for fertilization with NPK. The best interaction was for the age of cut at 60 DDT with application of T226 and T338 for K in leaves and T113 and T338 for Zn in stem. Implications. The low doses of fertilization used in this study and the form of fertilizer distribution along the growth of moringa contribute to an efficient management of fertilizers in moringa. Conclusions. The age of cut at 60 DDT showed the highest values of nutritional content in leaves and stems. The fertilization doses applied significantly improved the nutritional values with respect to the control. The interaction between cutting age and fertilization with NPK promoted increases in nutritional values of K in leaves and Zn in Stems at the cut age of 60 DDT.

Background. Inappropriate agricultural practices such as use of heavy machinery, excessive tillage and unbalanced use of inorganic fertilizers, inappropriate irrigation practices and poor water management techniques, pesticide overuse, inadequate crop residue and/or organic carbon inputs, and poor crop cycling negatively affect soil characteristics. Objective. Determine the relationship between soil physical-chemical parameters and nematode assemblages, ecological suitability and nutrient recycling potential as influenced by their respective soil ecosystems. Methodology. A total of 576 soil samples were collected in areas characterized by small scale subsistence agriculture in Kenya’s Northern and Southern sites during the cold-dry (1), warm-rainy (2) and hot-dry (3) seasons. The sampling points included land under cultivation (disturbed) and the adjoining natural undisturbed land within three soil groups, namely; Vertisols, Cambisols and Arenosols. Nematodes were extracted, assigned to their respective trophic groups and correlated with analyzed soil chemical properties. Results. Omnivores and predators were positively influenced by an increase in Mg and soil organic matter content while an increase in soil pH, K and NH4 contenthad a linear relationship with bacterivores. Increase in Ca and N concentrations was associated with increased numbers of both herbivores and fungivores. Low ecological disturbance and nutrient cycling potential was favored in natural soils, northern sites and where the soils had an active root growth in season 2. Implications. Sustainable soil management practices are recommended in a bid to maintain the favorable soil structure through nematode assemblage. Conclusion. Changes in soil properties resulting from anthropogenic activities, have a significant impact on nematode assemblages in their respective food webs.

Background: mango is cultivated in most tropical and subtropical regions of the world, it is estimated that there are more than a thousand cultivars, so its regional characterization represents a priority in countries such as Mexico, which holds the first place for export. Objective: the objective of the present study was to identify biochemical characteristics (photosynthetic pigments, type and proportion of carbohydrates) of eight recently introduced cultivars and two new selections in Mexico. Methodology: by spectrophotometric analysis, the concentrations of total sugars, reducing sugars and starches were evaluated, as well as the content of chlorophylls a, b and carotenoids of the cultivars 'Nam Doc Mai', 'Rosygold', 'Mallika', 'Ivory', 'Alphonse', 'Neelum', 'Fairchild', 'Kesar', 'Ataúlfo Diamante' and 'Ataúlfo Zafiro'. Results: in the case of total and reducing sugars, the cultivars ‘Kesar’, ‘Nam Doc Mai’, ‘Ivory’, ‘Mallika’ and ‘A. Zafiro' (0.42, 0.34, 0.34, 0.33, and 0.32 mg*g-1 pf-1) presented the highest values (respectively), the starch content was very heterogeneous and 'Rosygold' (0.36 mg*g-1 pf-1) was identified as cultivar with higher levels. The results showed ‘Ivory’ (0.64, 0.59, 0.27 mg*g-1 pf-1) as the cultivar with the highest concentration of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid photosynthetic pigments respectively. Based on the correlation analysis (r), a certain dependence could be observed between total and reducing sugars (r= 0.70), total sugars and starches (r= 0.76), reducing sugars and starches (r = 0.79). In the case of photosynthetic pigments, a close relationship between chlorophylls a, b and carotenoids was identified (r= 0.99); In the photosynthetic carbohydrate / pigment interaction, a significant correlation was observed between total sugars and chlorophylls a (r= -0.80), b (r= -0.80) and carotenoids (r= 0.82). The close relationship found between reducing sugars and chlorophyll a (r= 0.60), chlorophyll b (r= 0.99) and carotenoids (r= 0.99) stood out. Implications: it is necessary to continue the study in floral and fruiting stages to have a complete profile of the cultivars. Conclusion: these results will contribute in future agronomic studies of these varieties in the region in order to analyze their relationship with parameters such as yield and nutritional content of fruits.

Background. Grazing pastures in small-scale dairy systems reduces feeding costs in these farms in the highlands of central Mexico. Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) is a temperate climate grass resistant to hydric deficit, extreme temperatures, and high stocking rates, which make it attractive for these systems. However, many varieties are susceptible to endophyte infection that may cause toxicosis in cattle, which has not been studied in Mexico. Objective. To evaluate grazing of tall fescue pastures of K31 variety susceptible to endophytes, compared to perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) cv. Bargala pastures, both associated with white clover (Trifolium repens cv. Ladino). Methodology. An on-farm experiment was undertaken with a participant farmer with six Holstein cows with similar number of calvings, stage of lactation, and milk yields (kg/day). Treatments were BGL: grazing for 8 h/day on a perennial ryegrass cv. Bargala pasture and K31: grazing for 8 h/day of a tall fescue cv. K31 pasture. Cows were also supplemented with 4.6 kg dry matter of a commercial concentrate (18% crude protein) and 5 kg fresh basis of chopped green maize forage. A double cross-over design was applied, with three 14 day each experimental periods. Results. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) between treatments in chemical composition of pastures or supplementary feeds, nor between animal production variables. Implications. The comparison of tall fescue vs ryegrass pastures as alternative temperate pasture to reduce production costs in small-scale milk production systems. Conclusions. It is concluded that both grasses have similar performance in these systems.

Background. Small-scale dairy farms play an important role in supporting livelihoods in both developing and developed countries.  Objective. The aim of the research was to identify the determinants of adoption of maize silage and insights to improve extension activities towards smallholders in central Mexico. Methodology. A detailed study was conducted with 48 farmers who were already engaged with the use of the innovation. First, a hierarchical regression analysis was conducted and subsequently, farmers were divided into three groups. To identify differences among groups, parametric and non-parametric analyses were conducted. Results. Farmers’ intention was influenced by experience, milk yield and land sown to maize. Findings suggested that farmers’ decision to use the innovation was based on usefulness in Group 3, importance in both groups 1 and 2, increases both in profitability and milk yield in Groups 2 and 3. However, high initial investment and rent of machinery during the harvest season were observed as major constrains. Implications. The study identified determinants to use and adopt maize silage by smallholders and provided insights to improve extension activities towards non-users. Thus, this paper added to the growing body of evidence on information towards a better understanding of factors driving farmers’ decisions to adopt an innovation and highlighted some extension approaches to be tested on the field. Conclusions. It was concluded that the hitherto unnoticed maize silage can be a suitable innovation to farmers without studies, with small farm size and low availability of land.

Authors: Adekunle Adewale , Ayanwale Adeolu , Kehinde Ayodeji Damilola
Published: May 2023

Background. Innovation platforms (IP) are a set-up where a group of stakeholders that are somewhat interdependent are identified and invited to get together and interact in a forum for social learning. However, Sub-Saharan African researchers have recently paid very little attention to its participation. Objective. To investigate the determinants of participation in IPs and its sustainability. The study specifically outlines the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers and identifies variables influencing farmers' participation in IPs and the sustainability of such IPs. Methodology. The study used a multistage sampling technique to collect its data. The data were analyzed using the Double hurdle count model. Results. The results of the first hurdle indicate that the decision to participate in IPs is significantly influenced by factors such as gender, age, household size, years of farming experience, number of female working-class members, young dependents, aged dependents, access to agricultural extension, and asset ownership. While the findings of the second hurdle model reveal that gender, age, marital status, years of schooling, the number of female members of the working class, the number of young dependents, the number of aged dependents, access to extension services, and asset ownership play a significant role in determining the sustainability of participation in IPs. Implications. The paper adds evidence for a better understanding of the determinants of participation in IPs and its sustainability. Conclusions. Based on these findings, it is recommended that institutional structures and programs that enhance farmers' education, the frequency of extension contacts, and farm income be implemented to sustain participation in IPs.

Published: May 2023

The article discusses the prospects of socio-economic development of the territory of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the role of the organization of Arctic tourism on the Northern Sea Route (NSR). Among all the northern countries of the world, Russia has the longest coastline in the Arctic seas and the largest sector of the adjacent shelf and waters of the seas of the Arctic Ocean (SLO). It is shown that, in comparison with neighboring Arctic countries, the potential of the development of tourist space and the development of Arctic tourism in the Russian Federation is far from being fully used. The current possibilities and prospects of using the nuclear icebreaker fl eet of the Russian Federation for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) are discussed. The prospects of improving the infrastructure of ports in the northern polar regions and the possibilities of developing Arctic cruise tourism on the NSR route are considered.
On the puiseux theorem
Authors: Dinh Thi Minh-Tam
Published: April 2023

In 1850, Puiseux solved the problem of finding roots of complex polynomials in two variables and proved that the field of these series is algebraically closed. His proof provided an algorithm constructing the roots.
In this article, based on the paper “Ha Huy Vui, Nguyen Hong Duc. On the Lojasiewicz exponent near the fibre of polynomial mappings, Ann. Polon. Math. 94 (2008), 43-52”, we give a different algorithm computing Newton - Puiseux roots of a complex polynomial in two variables. This algorithm is more effective in practice.

Authors: Tomar Pritosh , Gope P.C.
Published: May 2023

Prostheses used temporarily are flexible based on function. Given the paucity of empirical knowledge flexural strength of temporary resins, choosing the right material for their manufacturing is challenging. Dentures have been reinforced with partial fibres both during the production process and during repairs. Polymer's fiber-rich phase in the denture base can either form a distinct structure or the reinforcing fibres can be dispersed equally throughout the material. In this work, the static three-point flexural strength and modulus of denture base polymer reinforced with various fibre reinforcements were determined. PMMA base material can currently be strengthened by adding fibre reinforcement. The creation of bar-type specimens complied with standard 27 of the American National Standards Institute and the American Dental Association. After being immersed in artificial saliva at 37°C for 10 days, the specimens were broken under 3-point loading with a crosshead speed of 0.75 mm/min in a universal testing machine. The highest breaking weights were expressed in Newton’s. The mean flexural strengths were measured in MPa (n = 10 per group). Results were compared using variance analysis and Duncan's multiple ranges testing (P.05). Impact strength of The Glass and Natural fibre (Jute, Sugarcane, Banana etc.) group with 1% and 0.5% composition respectively composition have the maximum value. This group shows the maximum value of flexural strength, compression strength and tensile strength. The findings imply that fibres that are impregnated or re-impregnated strengthen the denture base polymer more than fibres that are not impregnated. When compared to the same amount of fibre reinforcement placed on the compression side, the fibre reinforcement applied on the tensile side produced much higher values for flexural strength and flexural modulus.

Published: April 2023

Objective: In this study, we aimed to show whether there is a relationship between inflammatory markers and recurrent hospitalizations within 1 year in patients with heart failure.
Methods: All patients over the age of 18 who were followed up with a diagnosis of heart failure in the cardiology outpatient clinic between 2020-2021 were included in the study. The files of the patients were scanned and their sociodemographic characteristics, hemogram and biochemical parameters were recorded. Platelet lymphocyte ratio (P/L), neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (N/L), monocyte HDL (monocyte/HDL) ratios were calculated from inflammatory markers. It was screened how many times the patients were hospitalized and followed up in the hospital in the last year. The correlation between the number of hospitalizations and inflammatory markers were evaluated.
Results: 483 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 65.65±11.75 years. The mean ejection fraction of the patients was found to be 29.53±6.102% (minimum 15 and maximum 45). CRP=8.01±9.29, monocyte HDL ratio=0.0172±0.010, platelet-lymphocyte ratio=149.24±88.80, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio=4.54±4.88.It was determined that 73 (15.1%) of the patients had recurrent hospitalizations within one year. A significant positive correlation was found between recurrent hospitalizations and monocyte HDL ratio (r= 0.123, p=0.007), but no significant correlation was found with other parameters.
Conclusion: A significant positive correlation was found between recurrent hospitalizations and only monocyte HDL ratio. No significant correlation was found between other inflammatory markers. Larger studies with a large number of cases are needed to evaluate the relationship between recurrent hospitalization and inflammation.

Published: May 2023

En este trabajo se realizó la evaluación del desempeño del proceso de producción de una inmunoglobulina G (IgG) en una fase inicial del desarrollo tecnológico, con el objetivo de identificar un conjunto de proyectos dirigidos al incremento de la eficiencia productiva. Para esto, se propuso y desarrolló una estrategia que constituye una herramienta para evaluar procesos biotecnológicos, integrando indicadores técnicos, económicos y ambientales. Como resultado, se demostró que existía baja eficiencia del proceso fundamentalmente en la etapa fermentativa, determinada por el bajo aprovechamiento de las capacidades instaladas solo del 30,45 %. Se identificaron reservas productivas también, condicionadas por la baja masa de IgG obtenida por volumen cosechado. Se identificó estadísticamente gran dispersión en la productividad celular para los ciclos analizados y a la etapa de filtración del crudo fermentado como la de menor recobrado en purificación, de solo el 77,46 %. El análisis económico demostró que los gastos de material gastable y materia prima son los que más inciden en el costo de producción unitario y que este presenta alta variabilidad entre ciclos productivos. Se proponen un conjunto de proyectos que deben conducir a la mejora del proceso y se recomiendan acciones dirigidas al funcionamiento de los sistemas de gestión.

Medialisierung und Mediatisierung
Authors: Birkner Thomas
Published: May 2023

Mediatization is of the most successful yet most often discussed approaches used in media and communication studies. The issues of media change and societal change are central in this respect, with two traditions having developed, which examine the role of the media in our modern society in different ways (qualitative v quantitative methods). The research focus could be divided between a) changes to communication in humans’ daily lives, for example through smartphones, and b) influences of the mass media in different areas of society such as politics, the economy and sport. The third edition of this book, which has been revised and updated, explains the origins of these approaches, presents key studies and findings on them and discusses their similarities and differences.

Published: April 2023

Background: The leading cause of mutations in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome is the high rate of nucleotide misincorporation during reverse transcription. Most mutations were found within the “a” determinant of the S gene’s major hydrophilic region (MHR). They resulted in escape mutants due to amino acid changes in the MHR. However, mutations outside the MHR can also trigger escape mutants. Objectives: This study focused on further molecular studies on the MHR of genotype D of HBV DNA isolated from patients with chronic HBV infection, together with the coexistence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B surface antibodies (anti-HBs) in their serum samples. Methods: In this study, serum samples from 83 patients with chronic HBV infection were analyzed by serological and immunological tests for the concurrence of HBsAg and anti-HBs. In addition, the mutation in the HBV DNA was assessed by nucleotide sequencing of S genes within, upstream, and downstream of the MHR. Results: Among 83 patients with chronic HBV infection, the coexistence of HBsAg and anti-HBs were detected in 11 (13.25%) individuals. Mutations in eight amino acids of seven samples analyzed for nucleotide sequencing were observed at 27 different sites in three locations, namely upstream, within, and downstream of the MHR. The mutations affected the structure of the epitope and the appearance of an escape mutant. Conclusions: The results indicated that mutations downstream and upstream of the MHR play a role in the coexistence of HBsAg and anti-HBs in patients with chronic HBV infection.
Exploring shared and individual assessment of paired oral interactions
Authors:   Concordia University, Uludag Pakize , McDonough Kim , Trofimovich Pavel ,   Concordia University,   Concordia University
Published: April 2023

Studies concerning the assessment of second language (L2) paired oral interaction to date have investigated interactional patterns that emerge from paired oral tests and identified the factors that create variability in an individual’s test scores. However, less work has addressed concerns about whether scores should be shared or individual when assessing L2 speakers’ oral interactions. Therefore, the present study compared shared and individual assessment of L2 English paired oral task performances. Paired oral interaction episodes were sampled from a larger corpus of university-level L2 speakers engaged in paired speaking tasks and were assessed by 60 raters who were randomly assigned to rate Speaker A, Speaker B, or both speakers. To avoid any possible rating effects due to rating stimuli, half the raters evaluated audio recordings while the other half assessed video recordings. The raters used an analytic rubric with four domains: discourse management, collaborative communication, content development, and language accuracy and complexity. Comparison of raters’ scores revealed that individual discourse management ratings were significantly higher than shared ratings for both members of the pair regardless of the rating modality (audio vs. video). Implications for assessing pair interactions are discussed.

Published: May 2023

Context.—

Noninvasive papillary urothelial carcinomas (PUCs) comprise most urinary bladder tumors. Distinction between low-grade (LG-PUC) and high-grade (HG-PUC) PUCs is pivotal for determining prognosis and subsequent treatment.

Objective.—

To investigate the histologic characteristics of tumors with borderline features between LG-PUC and HG-PUC, focusing on the risk of recurrence and progression.

Design.—

We reviewed the clinicopathologic parameters of noninvasive PUC. Tumors with borderline features were subcategorized as follows: tumors that look like LG-PUC but have occasional pleomorphic nuclei (1-BORD-NUP) or elevated mitotic count (2-BORD-MIT), and tumors with side-by-side distinct LG-PUC and less than 50% HG-PUC (3-BORD-MIXED). Recurrence-free, total progression-free, and specific invasion-free survival curves were derived from the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression analysis was performed.

Results.—

A total of 138 patients with noninvasive PUC were included, with the following distribution: LG-PUC (n = 52; 38%), HG-PUC (n = 34; 25%), BORD-NUP (n = 21; 15%), BORD-MIT (n = 14; 10%), and BORD-MIXED (n = 17; 12%). Median (interquartile range) follow-up was 44.2 months (29.9–73.1 months). Invasion-free survival was different between the 5 groups (P = .004), and pairwise comparison showed that HG-PUC had a worse prognosis compared with LG-PUC (P ≤ .001). On univariate Cox analysis, HG-PUC and BORD-NUP were 10.5 times (95% CI, 2.3–48.3; P = .003) and 5.9 times (95% CI, 1.1–31.9; P = .04) more likely to invade, respectively, when compared to LG-PUC.

Conclusions.—

Our findings confirm a continuous spectrum of histologic changes in PUC. Approximately a third of noninvasive PUCs show borderline features between LG-PUC and HG-PUC. Compared with LG-PUC, BORD-NUP and HG-PUC were more likely to invade on follow-up. BORD-MIXED tumors did not statistically behave differently from LG-PUC.
A Review of Laboratory Practices Using the HLA-B27 Survey by the College of American Pathologists: How Important Is Allele-Level Typing?
Authors: Peña Jeremy Ryan Andrew , Fung Mark K. , Gandhi Manish J.
Published: May 2023

Context.—

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune disorder with a strong genetic risk, especially with HLA-B27. Clinical testing for HLA-B27 has been used to help diagnose patients with signs and symptoms of AS. Testing methods used by clinical laboratories for HLA-B27 fall into the broad categories of serologic/antibody- or molecular-based methods and have evolved over time. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) offers a proficiency testing survey for HLA-B27.

Objective.—

To analyze HLA-B27 testing trends and their performance in the past decade, using the proficiency testing survey data submitted to CAP.

Design.—

We analyzed the HLA-B27 CAP proficiency testing data from 2010 to 2020 for the method used, participant concordance, and error rates. Results from case scenarios to understand evolving scientific data around HLA-B27 risk alleles were also analyzed.

Results.—

Antibody-based flow cytometry is the most common method, though it has decreased from 60% in 2010 to 52% in 2020, with a corresponding increase in molecular methods. Among the molecular methods, real-time polymerase chain reaction has increased from 2% to 15%. Flow cytometry had the highest error rate (5.33%), and sequence-specific oligonucleotide (0%) is the most accurate (0%). Results of case scenarios demonstrated that most participants understood that allele-level HLA-B27 typing results inform clinical interpretation, for example HLA-B*27:06 is not associated with AS.

Conclusions.—

These data demonstrated the changing trends for HLA-B27 testing during the past decade. HLA-B27 allelic typing provides a better understanding of AS association. This is possible by testing for the second field with methods like next-generation sequencing.

Context.—

The nature and associations of gallbladder (GB) “adenomyoma” (AM) remain controversial. Some studies have attributed up to 26% of GB carcinoma to AMs.

Objective.—

To examine the true frequency, clinicopathologic characteristics, and neoplastic changes in GB AM.

Design.—

Cholecystectomy cohorts analyzed were 1953 consecutive cases, prospectively with specific attention to AM; 2347 consecutive archival cases; 203 totally embedded GBs; 207 GBs with carcinoma; and archival search of institutions for all cases diagnosed as AM.

Results.—

Frequency of AM was 9.3% (19 of 203) in totally submitted cases but 3.3% (77 of 2347) in routinely sampled archival tissue. A total of 283 AMs were identified, with a female to male ratio = 1.9 (177:94) and mean size = 1.3 cm (range, 0.3–5.9). Most (96%, 203 of 210) were fundic, with formed nodular trabeculated submucosal thickening, and were difficult to appreciate from the mucosal surface. Four of 257 were multifocal (1.6%), and 3 of 257 (1.2%) were extensive (“adenomyomatosis”). Dilated glands (up to 14 mm), often radially converging to a point in the mucosa, were typical. Muscle was often minimal, confined to the upper segment. Nine of 225 (4%) revealed features of a duplication. No specific associations with inflammation, cholesterolosis, intestinal metaplasia, or thickening of the uninvolved GB wall were identified. Neoplastic change arising in AM was seen in 9.9% (28 of 283). Sixteen of 283 (5.6%) had mural intracholecystic neoplasm; 7 of 283 (2.5%) had flat-type high-grade dysplasia/carcinoma in situ. Thirteen of 283 cases had both AM and invasive carcinoma (4.6%), but in only 5 of 283 (1.8%), carcinoma arose from AM (invasion was confined to AM, and dysplasia was predominantly in AM).

Conclusions.—

AMs have all the features of a malformative developmental lesion, and may not show a significant muscle component (ie, the name “adeno-myoma” is partly a misnomer). While most are innocuous, some pathologies may arise in AMs, including intracholecystic neoplasms, flat-type high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma (1.8%, 5 of 283). It is recommended that gross examination of GBs include serial slicing of the fundus for AM detection and total submission if one is found.

In this modern era of business and competition, no organization can achieve its organizational goals and objectives or success without the role of leaders. Transformational and Servant leadership play an important role in enhancing employee outcomes like engagement, task performance and organizational citizenship behaviour. The current study put forward a theoretical framework and core effect of transformational and Servant leadership on different employee outcomes. We also consider the mediating role of dimensions of self-determination theory. The collection questionnaire method and a non-probability convenient sampling technique were used for data collection. During two and half months, we distributed 540 questionnaires and received 372 questionnaires properly filled. After applying statistical tests using SPSS and Amos, we find that transformational leadership and servant leadership increase employee engagement, task performance and organizational citizenship behaviour. And for leaders, employees' psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) must be fulfilled because psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) significantly affect transformational leadership, Servant leadership and employee outcomes such as employee engagement, task performance and organizational citizenship behaviour.
Efects of Pasteurized Sheep's Milk Use on Production and Ripening of Siirt Herby Cheese
Authors: GÜLMEZ Murat , YILDIZ BAYHAN Kübranur , ÜNER Sefa
Published: May 2023

Siirt herby cheese is a varietty of local cheeses, and raw sheep’s and goat’s milk are used in its production. The curds obtained by curdling the milk obtained in the highlands is sold in the city centre during the day or the next day. Siirt herby cheese is produced from the retail curds. Three different cheese samples form retail curd, raw sheep’s and pasteurized sheep’s milks were made. The samples were ripened at 4°C for 120 d. Hygienic quality of raw milk supplied from a farm and raw milk curd bought from local retailers did not have adequate hygiene. Coagulase positive staphylococci were 3.11±0.6 log10 CFU/ml in raw milk, then it increased to 6.6±0.5 log10 CFU/g in the curd before salting. Pasteurization of milk was decreased the total count of the coagulase positive staphylococci below the maximum permissible value (103 CFU/g) in the regulation on Microbiological Criteria of the Turkish Food Codex. These samples were only contained >103 CFU/g coagulase positive staphylococci at the 120th d of ripening. The pasteurization of milk allowed to obtain cheese that meets the desired hygienic criteria. In addition, sufficient acidity and pH development were observed in pasteurized dairy cheeses even though starter culture was not used. It was found that the traditional cheese production using both retail curd and raw milk may not be suitable for producing cheese in accordance with the official standards and regulations. It was concluded that in the case of the production of these cheeses, it is not appropriate to offer them for sale before the completion of the legal ripening period of 120 d. It was deemed necessary to conduct further research in order to draw up a production diagram including the parameters of the Siirt herby cheese production process.
