Dairy Bacteriology

"Dairy Bacteriology" is a foundational scientific text that explores the complex relationship between microorganisms and dairy products. Written by Bernard W. Hammer, this work serves as a comprehensive guide to the biological processes that affect the quality, safety, and production of milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream. The book details the various types of bacteria found in dairy environments, categorizing them into beneficial organisms used in fermentation and harmful pathogens that cause spoilage or disease.

The text covers essential topics such as contamination sources, methods for controlling bacterial growth, and the scientific principles behind pasteurization and sterilization. By examining the chemical changes induced by microbial activity, the work provides invaluable insights for students of food science and professionals in the dairy industry. "Dairy Bacteriology" remains a significant historical reference for understanding the evolution of food safety standards and the development of modern dairy technology, offering a meticulous look at the microscopic world that governs one of our most vital food sectors.
