In-Vitro Assessment Of Honey, Snail Slime, And Tetrapleura Tetraptera (Schum & Thonn) Taub From Different Vegetation Zones Of Nigeria On Some Pathogenic Organisms
ABSTRACT
The study was carried out in order to
make an in-vitro assessment of honey from different vegetation zones viz;
Derived savanna, Rainforest zone and Mangrove, snail slime from two species ;
Achachatina achachatina and Achachatina Marginata and Tetrapleura tetraptera
and test/ascertain their effect on pathogenic organisms such as Bacteria
{Escherichia co/i, staphylococcus aureus, and pseuclomonas aeruuginosa,
stretoptococcus spp } and Fungi {Aspergillus Species, Penicillium Spp, Rhizpous
Species, Peniculliurn Spp}. Results from the proximate analysis of honey from
the different vegetation zones showed high variations in PH, Specific gravity
{SG}, percentages Moisture Content {MC}, ash, constant pressure {CP} and TTA
for bacteria, pure honey 100% from rainforest zone showed the highest
inhibition effect on the growth of S. dysenteria {2. 88} but did not have any
effect on Escherichia co/i and S. typhii, while Tetrapleura tetraptera showed
the highest growth inhibition effect on Stretoptococcus spp{7.40} which was
closely similar to 10:90% honey and Tetrapleura tetraptera mixture with value
of 6.20. Honey from derived savanna showed the highest PH value of 4.73, while
that from mangrove forest showed the highest CP value of 0.32, SG%, MC%, TTA%
values were statically similar across the three vegetation zones. For fungi,
pure honey had the highest inhibition effect on Rhizpous Species, {1.19%} while
Tetrapleura tetraptera had the highest effect on Fusarium s {6.8}. The highest
inhibition effect was however observed with 1:9% of honey and Tetrapleura tetraptera
mixture on Asergillus with value 7.50.
