Microbial Quality Of 'Ogi' (Pap) Sold In Umuahia Market
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the microbial
quality of ogi sold in Umuahia market. The ogi samples were collected
aseptically from ten different sellers in Umuahia market. These samples were
taken to the laboratory immediately and were analysed using standard
microbiological and biochemical methods. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus
aureus, Kiebsiella, species, Streptococcus species and Pseudomonas species were
the bacteria isolated while Mucor species, Aspergillus species and Fusarium
species were the fungi isolated. The total bacteria counts ranged from
1.2x105to 9.8x106cfulg and the coliform counts ranged from 1.2x105to 5.5x106
cfulg while the fungal counts ranged from 1.0x105to 5.0x106cfulg. The high microbial
count is attributable to poor hygienic practices during the processing and post
processing handling of the ogi.
