Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Motivation: In practice, sometimes scientific researchers encounter to more specific cases of biological findings in soft drinks and bottled water, where the traditional approach to microbiological testing does not lead to concrete results. Aim: In order to identify the monitored biological objects and solve problems with these products, other methods need to be applied. In this context, several interesting cases of Bulgarian beverages and bottled water are described in this paper. Methods: The applied analytical method is a microscopic analysis, which has led to clarification of the observed „inconveniences“ in the investigated products. Results: In soft drinks are identified algae, mold and fungal hyphae that entered in ready for consumption production during the manufacturing process by drinking water used, by air-borne substances or by any other ingredients. The microalgae established in the samples of mineral and spring waters are mainly green and bluegreen algae. Diatoms, green algae end euglenophytes are identified in samples of table waters. In most cases it comes to own flora of the water sources, which multiplies due to improper storage of bottled water. Conclusion: Identified biological findings are not dangerous to consumers, but make the product unsuitable for consumption.
