I would like to have more information about the probable microbes found in packaged milk(pasteurized and fermented milk) and their characteristics.thank you for your help.
The package containing pasteurized milk usually have thermoduric organisms such as microbacterium, micrococci, and aerobic spore formers such as Bacillus sp. etc apart from containing post pasteurization contaminants such as Pseudomonas and Flavobacterium etc. More technology on milk and dairy products can be obtained from this link
