AROMATIC

Dairy products play a vital role in providing essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins and minerals. However, the poor sanitary quality of raw milk intended for direct consumption in certain Mediterranean countries, combined with adverse weather conditions, leads to waste discharges when the overproduction of milk is associated with a lack of processing industries and / or poor refrigeration conditions.

The AROMATIC project (ARIMNET 2 France-Tunisia-Egypt) aims to develop simple and effective methods using natural preservatives, drawing on traditional methods of cheese production and the potential of plants, to better protect raw milk against contamination. microbial, before direct consumption or cheese making. The project is expected to provide simple methods that can be applied by small producers to improve the safety and quality of raw milk and derived products, even in the absence of industrial milk facilities.
