Assessment Of Microbial Quality Of Commercially Produced Soybeans Powder Sold In Umuahia Metropolis, Abia State, Nigeria xx
ABSTRACT
The soybean powder consumed
within Umuahia metropolis was assessed for microbial quality. Twenty samples
were obtained from Ubani market. The bacteria isolated from the soybean powder
samples were Staphylococcus aureus, Kiebsiella spp, Enterococcus faecalis,
Salmonella and Shigella spp, while the fungi isolated were Aspergillus spp,
Candida albicans, and Stretomyces. The total viable count ranged from 8.3 x 107
to 3.0 x 108Cfulg, total coliform count on MacConkey ranged from 5.3
x 106 to 2.9x 107Cfu/g, and the range of the fungal count
was from 3.8 x 106 to 3.0 x 107Cfulg. The microbial
population isolated in terms of number and types of organisms reflected poor
hygienic standard of processing and handling, which in turn can constitute a
public health hazard among the populace. Producers should be enlightened about
good hygienic practices as this will help ensure that the products are free
from pathogenic microorganisms.
