Abstract
Quality parameters in milk are a key issue for both the dairy industry and
consumer health. This study examines key indicators that include the physicochemical
composition of milk, such as its fat content, proteins, total solids and somatic cell count, which
directly affects its nutritional value and organoleptic properties.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality parameters of raw milk in five
cooling tanks in the municipality of Popayán, Cauca. Samples were collected from five tanks at
30-day intervals, and parameters such as bacteria, physicochemical quality and somatic cell count
were analyzed.
Microbiological parameters showed a greater presence of Enterobacteriaceae type bacteria
such as Klebsiella pneumoniae with an average percentage of 50%, 37.5% corresponded to
Citrobacter freundii and 12.5% to Escherichia coli. In terms of physicochemical quality, the
average fat in the samples of the five farms was 61.97%, the average protein 46.971%, total
solids 197.74% and somatic cell count 6.635.846%.
Finally, the presence of microorganisms is evidenced in the milk samples of the five
cooling tanks, which generate a degradation since milk is a product sensitive to the proliferation
of microbiological agents by antibiotic resistance, also influence compositional quality and
nutritional use, implying an impact on public health
