Bulletin of the IDF N° 442/ 2010: Current situation and compilation of commercially available screening methods for the detection of inhibitors/antibiotic residues in milk
The presence or absence of residues of antibiotics and microbial growth inhibitors in milk is checked routinely and systematically in all dairy countries. A wide range of screening test kits is available to the dairy sector for this purpose. This compilation brings together recent information on what is available commercially, the analytical principle of the […]

Bulletin of the IDF N° 105/1978: Metal contaminants in milk and milk products
Pathways to and incidence in milk and milk products, toxicological aspects, analytical aspects, advice on how to minimize contamination, etc. are reviewed for arsenic, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, mercury and tin.
Bulletin of the IDF N° 351/2000 – Safety in Dairy Products
The papers presented at the Symposium in Ljubljana, Slovenia, 4 April 2000, dealt with the subject of safety in dairy products, with special emphasis on safety and hazards in Europe. Today, safety in food products is very much in focus, due to calamities with microbiological outbreaks, dioxin contamination, and other threats to human health. The […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 114/1979 – Somatic cells in milk; their significance and recommended methods for counting
By various authors After a review of literature on the significance of the somatic cell count of raw milk in relation to the quality of heat treated milk and milk products, the document describes recommended methods for somatic cell counting in milk (microscopic count; Coulter Counter, Fossomatic) and ends with a chapter on quality control […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 288/1993 – Corrosion Prevention / Prévention de la corrosion – Environmental influence of chemicals
Use of electrochemical criteria for predicting and preventing stainless steel corrosion in dairy engineering by G. Daufin & J. Pagetti (France) The paper illustrates the connection between the fundamental principles of electrochemical corrosion and the rule of the six main processing parameters – pH, chloride content, temperature, oxidizing power, time and electrochemical potentials. Basic recommendations […]

Bulletin of the IDF N° 281/1993 – Catalogue of tests for the detection of post-pasteurization contamination of milk
By a Group of Experts The control of recontamination by heat-labile bacteria after pasteurization of milk is of paramount importance in ensuring the quality of the product. As the level of recontamination varies between countries, it is not possible to establish a «standard method». In this bulletin the microbiology of pasteurized milk is described briefly. […]
