Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market Department: Science Technology By: vick123 Project ID: 320 Rating: (2.8) votes: 65Rate this project12345 Price:₦1000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThe bacteriological qualities of food thickener Deuterium microcarpum (Ofor) and Brachystegia eurcycoma (Achi) sold in Owerri main market were analyzed using standard microbiological methods. About 0.lml of the 102 dilution was inoculated unto sterile plates of nutrient agar and MacConkey agar. The total bacterial count ranged from l.7x104 cfu/ml to 2.3x105 cfu/ml for the achi samples and 7.2x104 to 2.7x105 cful/ml for the ofor samples. The Ofor samples were more contaminated than the achi samples. The microorganisms isolated included Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Bacillus Corynebacterium and Micrococcus spp. These bacteria are implicated in various food illnesses. Food thickeners like achi and ofor should be shielded from dust and other contaminating agents While being sold in the market....Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
