Evaluation Of Fermented African Oil Bean (UGBA) For Bacteria Of Public Health Significance.
ABSTRACT
Bacteriological studies were
conducted to establish the quality of fermented African oil bean consumed in
Abia State. A total of forty(40) samples; 10 each of wrapped fermented African
oil bean were randomly sampled and cultured on Nutrient, Macconkey, Mannitol
salt and Salmonella-Shigella agars aerobically. Results indicated a high
prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus and Total aerobic count in all the samples.
Ahiaeke market had a total aerobic plate count of 6.6 x Ariam market had 4.3 x
io, Ndoro market has 6.8 x iO and Olokoro market had 5.9 x respectively. The
bacterial 'isolates from fermented African oil bean in Ahiaeke, Ariam, Ndoro
and Olokoro included Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia col Kiebsiella species,
Micrococcus species, Shigella species, Salmonella species, Streptococqis
species, Pseudomonas species, Enterobacter species, Lactobacillus species and
Bacillus species. The results revealed that the good sanitary pradices in
handling foods are still inadequate.
