Abstract | ||||
"Moloha" is a quite popular type of salted fish which several months storable without refrigeration. fifty samples of "Moloha" were investigated. The salt contents were in the range from 10.8 19.6 with average 15.2%. The average of pH and the water activity (a) were 5.9 and 0.900 respectively. The means value of Staph. aureus, Lactobacillus, mould and yeast counts per gram were: 3X10", 3x102, 3x102 and 7X10 respectively. Coagulase positivie Staph.aureus could be detected in 10 (20%) while Clostridium per fringens in 4(8%). The most predominant mould and yeast species could be identified. In which the significance importance of the isolates as well as the control measures are discussed. | ||||
