Effect Of Ginger And Garlic On The Microbial Load And Shelf-Life Of Burukutu
ABSTRACT
Burukutu was produced using the
modified method. After production, the product was analyzed physico-chemically
and the following values were obtained, using parameters like pF (3.94), Total
Titratable Acidity (0.55), Specific Gravity (0.8273g/m3), Alcoholic Content
(4.10%), and Temperature (29°C). Diverse microbial genera such as
Staphylococcus sp, Bacillus sp, Lactobacillus sp, Aspergillus sp, Sacchromyces
sp, and Escherichia coil dominated the spoilt burukutu. Isolates of the above
mentioned microbial genera were treated with the ethanolic extracts these
spices; ginger, garlic, and ginger-garlic in the ratio of 20grams of spice to
100m1 of 90% ethanol (20g 100m1). These spices had an effect on the spoilage
organisms but the combination of the spices ginger-garlic in equal proportions
(40g : lOOmi) gave a synergistic effect that was better off. So, of all the
treatments, ginger-garlic (40g 200m1) was most effective followed by garlic and
ginger respectively. Shelf-life of the product can be extended beyond 2 weeks
of production, by blending burukutu with a combination of these spices
