Anti - Microbial Potentials Of Fresh And Pasteurized Honey
ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial potential of fresh
honey was evaluated on Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli using tube
dilution method. The Minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum bactericidal
concentrations (MBC) were 1: 10,000 and I: 100,000 dilutions respectively for
bacteria specimen. Total colony count for aerobic bacteria for fresh honey
showed different variations. The heaviest load for fresh honey was sample from
Ariam Market which gave 5.0 x l0 CFU/ml while sample from Umuahia market gave
the least microbial load which is 1.0 x l0 in CFU/mi. Sample from eke gave the
heaviest load for coliform count while that from Ndioru market gave the lowest coliform
count. The potency of honey was found to be higher at higher dilution up to 106
dilution. Honey is highly acidic, it contains hydrogen peroxide, and other
phytochemical properties which is responsible for the antimicrobial potentials
of honey.
