Screening and isolation of microbial contaminants from carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks of Delhi
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Food borne pathogens are a global public health problem, their abundance in various range of foods is posing great danger of their spread among communities. Soft drinks are gaining popularity day by day because of various flavours retailed all over the world. This investigation was carried out so as to analyse the microbial load in carbonated and non-carbonated drinks available in the local market of Delhi. Total plate count method was performed with the different samples, among them only Banta sample showed bacterial load of 1.7 x 103 Cfu/ml. Cold drinks was further analysed for the presence of enteric bacteria, Staphylococus aureus. Presence of food associated microbes are either air-borne or water borne which may invaded into the drinks. Variety of microbial contaminants can be eliminated from the drinks by maintaining proper plant sanitation processing and storage.
