Analyzes of the total number of microorganisms in milk have been carried out in accordance with the requirements of ISO 4833. From the samples taken randomly in the market were separated in two samples where one we analyzed the number of total microorganisms without using any treatment, while in the other one we analyzed the number of total microorganisms after adding a quantity of 0.4 ml preservative per 1 L milk. The results show that the number of microorganisms decreased by 26 times 30 minutes after the addition of the preservative, while the 48-hour action of the preservative reduced the number of microorganisms by 174 times, cipher that represents the peak of the effect of the added preservative.

The equipment which is used in determining the rheological qualities is those of Bra bender: Farinograph, Extensograph, however, lately one also started to use Mixolab Chopin, which at the same time determines the quality of the proteins and starch. The purpose of this study is to determine the rheological qualities of the dough obtained by mixing the flour of wheat cultivars from the region of Balkans with their bran, and the possible correlation of rheological parameters determined with Bra bender (Farinograph) and Mixolab Chopin equipments. Based on the obtained results either with the Bra bender equipment, or with Mixolab Chopin, better rheological qualities for production of bread are indicated by the bread which is obtained by mixing the flour of wheat cultivar Orovcanka with its bran. High positive correlation coefficient is observed with regards to water absorption and development of dough, the stability of dough indicates a lower positive correlation coefficient, whereas the degree of softening indicates a medium negative correlation coefficient. With regards to the correlation coefficient among the values of Amylograph regarding the maximum viscosity and C3-torque Mixolab, as well as Amylograph concerning the maximum viscosity and slope gMixolab, in both cases we observed a medium positive correlation. Therefore, in general, the correlation between equipment Bra bender and Chopin Mixolab is positive, however not so prominent, respectively, variable.

Given the fact that aflatoxins M1 mycotoxins can cause toxic effects called mycotoxicosis. It has been reported that mycotoxins are carcinogenic, tumorigenic, and dermatological in a large number of organisms and cause hepatic carcinoma in humans. This study aims to identify the quantity of mycotoxins M1 in dairy products used by consumers in the Republic of Kosovo. According to the results obtained from the analyzes of processed milk samples we have come to the conclusion that the content of aflatoxin M1 in all types of dairy products is not allowed limits according to the regulation in force for the safety of food products.
