Bacteria Quality Of Scent Leaves (Ocimum Gratissimum) Treatment On Smoked Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus) And Mackerel (Atlantic Mackerel)
ABSTRACT
The project examined the bacteriological quality of smoked
Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Mackerel (Atlantic mackerel). A total of 16
catfishes and mackerel specimens were analyzed. Counts of Escherichia coil,
Salmonella spp detection ,and Staphylococcus aureus were undertaken. Samples of
smoked fish specimens collected from a pond at National Root Crops Research
Institute, Umudike, Abia state between 6:00 -7:00am, stunned, treated with the
concentration of Ocimum gratissimum of 20,40,60% wlv respectively, and were
smoked for 14h and taken to the laboratory within 24-48h Escherichia co/i were
present in both samples. The result of this study revealed a bacteria count
range of 1.6 X1O'(cfu/ml) to 5.6 X 102 (cfü/ml) for smoked Clarias gariepinus
and 1.0 X 101 (cfl.i/ml) to 5.5 X 102 (cfiu/ml) for Atlantic mackerel. Sanitary
conditions at the pond should be improved. Likewise, roads to the pond should
be made all weather roads so that the fish can reach the markets fast.
Refrigeration facilities and! or ice should be provided at the Research
Institute.
