Its importance results from its richness in water, proteins, lipids, minerals and vitamins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of raw cow milk marketed in Pala, Chad. A total of thirty (30) samples were collected. The standard microbiology technique was used to enumerate and test for total aerobic mesophilic flora (TAMF), <em>Escherichia coli</em>, <em>Staphylococcus</em>, yeasts and molds, and <em>Salmonella spp</em>. Dornic acidity content was also assessed. TAMF, <em>E.coli</em>, <em>Staphylococcus</em>, yeast & molds were dissatisfied with the quality in the proportions of 20%, 17%, 83.3% and 7% respectively. Salmonella was totally absent in all samples. The Dornic acidity was high in all samples with a value between 22 and 30°D. In view of these results, raw milk has an acceptable hygienic quality despite the low proportions of dissatisfaction with the quality observed. Efforts to raise awareness of hygiene measures must be made in the milk sector in order to restore its expected safe quality.</p>2023-06-21T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Gondimo Gabdibe Elysée, Abdelsalam Adoum Doutoum, Abdullahi Hissein Ousmane, Jamalladine Mahamat Doungous, Valery Beral Mbaigolmem, Abdelsalam Tidjanihttps://www.macrothink.org/journal/index.php/jfs/article/view/21488From Corpulence to Normal Weight-Practical Perspectives for Adopting Healthy Eating and Shopping Attitudes and Behaviors2023-11-23T19:00:47-08:00Eddie John Paul Fishereddie.fisher9@btinternet.comEddie Fishereddie.fisher9@btinternet.com<p class="ber-6535">World-wide efforts to reduce obesity amongst countries’ inhabitants have failed. A widening gap has developed between theory and practice of how to improve this unwished for situation. This research focused on bridging this gap by developing practical and workable solutions for both the short- and long-term. The principal findings and recommendations of this research include government interventions to reduce the cost of healthy food and increase the cost of unhealthy food (long-term), accept obesity as a disease and change the word to corpulence (short-term), use a multitude of options to increase the chances of success (both short-and long-term) and help individuals to change their eating habits by adopting an eat-less-but-more-often diet plan (long-term). </p>2023-11-24T00:00:00-08:00Copyright (c) 2023 Eddie John Paul Fisher, Eddie Fisher
