AB - Psychrotrophic Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas
species, pose a significant spoilage problem in refrigerated raw milk and dairy
products due to secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, especially lipases and proteases.
This study evaluated the effect of ascorbic acid against proteolysis activity
produced by Pseudomonas fluoresencens in refrigerate raw milk. Strains
of Pseudomonas fluorescens isolated from raw milk. Samples of pasteurized
milk were inoculated with these strains and stored 10 days at 7°C. All the
isolates showed proteolysis activity. Different concentrations of ascorbic acid
were tested and the protein content was determined. The growth of each isolate
tested was decreased and the content of protein was also decreased in accordance
with the bacterial count.
