| Abstract | ||
| A microbiological analysis was conducted to ascertain the bacteriological quality of the most widely available chicken meat products (Strips, Burgers, and Kofta) in Minia city markets including bacterial counts (Aerobic bacteria, Coliforms, and Staphylococci) and isolation of pathogenic microorganisms (S. aureus, E. coli, Salmonellae, and Listeriae). Sixty samples of chicken products (20 each of Strips, Burger, and Kofta) were randomly collected from different local markets. The mean value of Aerobic bacteria, Coliforms, and Staphylococci was (3.1×104 ± 8.85×103, 4.83×102 ± 0.34×102, and 0.22 x 102 ± 0.58×10 cfu/g) for Strips; 9.3×104 ± 3.6×104, 7.48×102 ± 0.47×102, and 1.87×102 ± 0.24×102 cfu/g) for Burger, and (5×105 ± 1.4×105, 4.03 x 103 ± 8.69× 102, and 5.72×102 ± 0.39 x 102 cfu/g) for Kofta examined samples. S. aureus was isolated from Strips, Burger, and Kofta samples in different percentages (25, 35, and 45 percent), whereas E. coli was identified at different levels (35, 45%, and 50%). Nevertheless, the attempts to separate Listeriae and Salmonellae failed. The present data on the microbiological parameters exceeded the specified requirements established in (ES) No. 3493/2021, (50 %) and (60 %) of Strips and Burger samples, respectively, should be condemned. Meanwhile, 75% of Kofta samples should be banned because their microbiological features surpassed the requirements stipulated by (ES) No. 2910/2005. | ||
