Isolation And Characterization Of Molds Associated With The Spoilage Of Cake:- Omotosho, Titilayo F.
ABSTRACT
This research evaluated microbial
quality of cakes sold in Umuahia for the presence of mold which are usually
spoilage and toxigenic microorganisms. Fungi of five (5) genera were isolated
which includes Penicillium digitatum, Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma spp.,
Mucor spp. and Cladosporium spp. The result of the predominance showed
Penicillium digitatum, Aspergillus niger, Trichoder ma spp., Mucor spp. and
Cladosporium spp. with 87.5%, 62.5%, 25%, 62.5% and 25% predominance respectively.
The total fungal count of the various samples considered in this study range
from 2.2x10cfu/g to 8.6x10cfu/g. The result from this study showed presence of
some potential mycotoxigenic fungi. Therefore it is recommended that adequate
hygiene practice should be observed while preparing snacks to reduce
contamination.
