Effects Of Sodium Citrate On The Survival Of Bacillus Species And Staphylococcus Aureus From Pentaclethra Macropylla Benth.:- Muritala Kehinde A
ABSTRACT
The fermented seeds of African oil bean
(Pentaclethra macrophylla), also known as "Ugba" or ,
"Ukpaka" in Eastern Nigeria) is a low acid food which could be
prepared into flour and cubes and explored in food fortification and
confectioneries. Fennentation is predominantly brought about by Bacillus
species. The current study was carried out on the inhibitory effect of sodium
citrate on the survival of Bacillus species and Staphylococcus aureus from
fermented Pentaclethra macrophy/la Bentham samples got from three different
markets within Umuahia in Abia State. The analysis involved isolation and
identification of organisms (Bacillus spp. and Staphylococcus aureus) from the
fermented seeds. This was followed by detennination of the antimicrobial effect
of sodium citrate on the isolates. The results show there was no inhibitory
effect of different concentration of sodium citrate on Staphylococcus aureus
and Bacillus specie over time .
