Abstract | ||||
Sixty samples of salted Om El-Kholoul were improvement of the microbial quality of the collected from different localities in Giza, Alexandria and Ismailia. Collected sampels were examined organoleptically and subjected to bacteriological examination for enumeration of Aerobic, enterobacteriaceae, Staph. aureus, enterococci counts as well as isolation and identification of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.The mean counts/gm of Aerobes, Enterobacteriaceae, Staph. aureus, Strept. faecalis and Strept. faecum were 4.9 x 155, 4.8 x 104,1.9x105, 1.5 x 105, and 8 x 102, respectively. V. parahaemolyticus could be isolated from all examined samples. The weight, pH and sodium chloride percent of ten sampels were estimated and the inhibitory Om El-Kholoul (Wedge shell-Donax trunculus) is effect of lemon juice (Citrus aurantifolia) onthe microbial load of such samples was noticed.
