Microbial load

Poultry houses are often highly contaminated with dust, which might contain considerable amounts of microorganisms and endotoxins. The concentrations of microorganisms and endotoxins in dust from laying hen houses in Egypt are unknown. However, to estimate the risks for birds, the environment, and people working in laying hen houses, it is important to gather information about the composition of these dusts.

The MST result showed that ruminant-specific fecal contamination (Rum2Bac) was abundant both in pen and non-pen soils, likely indicating heavy cattle fecal loading. However, the soil within cattle pens had higher levels of Campylobacter, Salmonella, and AR genes for resistance to sulfonamides (sul1) and carbapenems (KPC) than the soil outside of pens (p

Value added healthy instant foods are the requirements of modern society and also are becoming popular day by day. These foods are convenient to use and time saving. Dosa is a popular vegetarian fermented South Indian breakfast food item made from parboiled rice, black gram dhal, fenugreek seeds, edible oil and salt. In the present study the attempts were made to standardize instant kodo millet dosa mix by incorporation of kodo millet flours with parboiled rice at different incorporation levels at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% and control 100% with rice flour.

Indoor air contamination of the operating theatres is one of the major sources of life threatening nosocomial infections for patients undergoing certain surgical procedures. There is dearth of information on the burden of airborne microbial contaminations of operating theatres in this environment, hence the need for the study. The study aimed at investigating the airborne microbial load and type of pathogenic isolates as a result of surgical procedures in the operating theatres of a tertiary hospital in South-west Nigeria.

Respiration rate, sensory attributes, change in color, physiological loss in weight, chlorophyll and beta - carotene content and microbial loads were determined during storage of mint leaves at 10 and 27ᵒC to find an optimal gas composition to extend the shelf life. The Low Density Poly Ethylene (LDPE) bags with a thickness of 152 µ which recorded the lowest permeability to oxygen (1067 ml/m2 /day) was selected and used for packaging mint leaves.

The influence of gamma irradiation on microbial load of different peanut varieties has been assessed. The healthy and mature kernels of peanut variety popular in saurastra region of India viz. GG-20 and TG-37A were naturally contaminated and conditioned with three initial moisture contents (6.0%, 8.5% and 11.0%), w.b. and packed in Poly Propylene (PP) bags of 50μ thickness. These samples were irradiated with different gamma irradiation dose (0 kGy, 2.5 kGy, 5.0 kGy, 7.5 kGy and 10.0 kGy) and stored at ambient temperature for three months.

Shelf life studies of food products are gaining impetus due to the consumer awareness towards quality of the ready to cook products. The present study was designed to assess the keeping quality and shelf life of tomato powder incorporated rice based cold extrudates. The Cavatelli extrudates using ingredients: rice flour, wheat flour and tomato powder in the proportion of 36:54:10 respectively was developed and stored under room temperature. The stored samples were evaluated for sensory characteristics and microbial assay at regular intervals for 60 days.

Healthy indoor air is a fundamental human right, and in unventilated rooms is affected by outdoor air quality. Studies are on-going on the effect of the presence of the current „strange black soot‟ in Port Harcourt, Nigeria on microbial air quality, but it is of essence to have baseline data for comparison. This study presents such data from two sources; work carried out in our laboratory and a snapshot of all published literature on microbial air quality in Port Harcourt, prior to date.
