ABSTRACT
The research is aimed at analysis
the microbiological quality of locally made soymilk highly consumed by the
public in Umuahia metropolis. The microbial population detected in terms of
number and types organisms reflected poor hygienic standard of production. The
microbial analysis observed in the bacterial counts and activities of
microorganisms were more noticeable in the simple collected from Uzuakoli 7.5 x
10° cfu/ml, and in Mgbalakuma 7.5 x 10 3 cfu/ml. In the fungal counts were more
pronounced in samples collected from Ubakala 8.5 x 10° cfu/ml. Some of the
microorganism that was observed are Staphyloccus aureus, Escherichiacoli,
Baccillus sp. Lactobacillus sp, Streptococcus sp, fungi sacharomyces cerevisae
found in some of the soymilk produced. Statistical analysis showed that there
were significant growth effects on the different growth of the microorganisms.
The implication of the study is that the quality of some commercial soybean
milk reparations marketed in Umuahia needs to be critically scrutinized to
avoid transmission of infections to individual through them. It is very
necessary that producers should be enlightened about Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP) as this will ensure products free of pathogenic microorganisms.
