A study was conducted to determine microbial activity in pasteurized milk under prolonged storage at 4oC temperature for 20 days. Psychrophilic count, mesophilic count, coliform count, yeast and mold count along with MBRT tests were conducted each day at the interval of 24 hours. Each day physical defects and sensory evaluation has been also examined.
