Projects

ABSTRACT

This research study was conducted to analyse the microbiological quality ofsome ready-eatfoods which are sold in Motor Parks in Ohafia Local Govt. Area and also to examine effects of contaminant in the food consumed by travellers. A total of 8 food samples which include Moimoi, Agidi, Abacha, and meat pie from Ebem motor park (park 1) and Abiriba motor park (park2) were collected and subjected to microbiological analysis. The total bacterial count range from l.OxlO6 to 8.0xl05, total Fungi count 1.4xl06 to 8.4xl05, total Coliform count 1.0x103 to 6.2xl03 and total Salmonella count 7.0xl04 to 1.8xl05. Total Staphylococcus was not detected in the food samples except that of abacha from park2 which had 3.7x105. The result observed the presence of Aspergillus glaucus, Rhizopus stolonifer, and Penicillum chrynogenus. The probable organisms associated with the food samples after biochemical characterization were Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, Shigella dysenteriae and Escherichia coli. This study concluded that the high levels ofcontamination in the food sample could be a result ofthe lack of personal hygiene by handlers during food preparation.
