Evaluation Of Microbial And Sensory Quality Of Meat Samples Sold In Aba And Umuahia:- Mark Cornelius I
ABSTRACT
A
study on the evaluation of microbial and sensory quality of meat samples from
Aba and Umuahia was carried out. Samples of Beef, Chevon and Pork from Aba and
Umuahia were analysed. Proximate composition, sensory quality and microbial
safety were determined. The result showed that Beef contained 71.05% moisture,
22.55% protein, 4.05% fat and 1.23% ash; Chevon was 72.05% moisture, 3.81% fat
and 1.1% ash; Pork had 73.01% moisture, 22% protein, 4.18% fat, 1.1% ash; For
sensory ratings under nine-point hedonic scale, Chevon and Pork (8.36, 7.90)
were liked very much considering flavour, but Beef (6.12) was liked slightly,
Pork was the most tender of all, followed by Chevon (6.19) and lastly Beef
(5.06). Finally, Chevon and Pork (8.15 and 8.25) were more acceptable
(p<0.05) than Beef. All meat samples were slightly and moderately
contaminated with moulds and bacteria· respectively. Moulds found were
Aspergillus spp., and Rhizopus spp. Bacteria found in all samples include E.
Coli, Enterobacter spp., Salmonella spp., and Pseudomonas spp. Beef was
considerably more contaminated than Chevon and Pork.
