Microbial profile in flour milling process: Yeast and Moulds analysis / Siti Nurul Fitriah Ahmad

A survey was undertaken to determine the mycological status of the wheat flour and the distribution of mycological in the flour milling fractions and end products. A total of 8 milling stages and end products was obtained from a flour mill factory in Klang. Yeast is 10 4Cfu/ml , with 43.13 % of 51 p...
