Bacteriological Safety of Freshly Squeezed Mango and Pineapple Juices Served in Juice Houses of Bahir Dar Town, Northwest Ethiopia
Keywords:
freshly squeezed juice, quality, safety, bacteriaAbstract
The objective of this study was to assess bacteriological quality and safety of freshly squeezed mango and pineapple juices in Bahir Dar town, Ethiopia. The mean aerobic mesophilic count of mango juice (4.76 log CFU/ml) was relatively higher than pineapple juice (4.21 log CFU/ml) across each juice house. The mean Staphylococcus aureus counts were 3.84 log CFU/ml in mango and 3.74 log CFU/ml in pineapple juices. Total coliform counts were in the range of 9.2 to > 1100 MPN/ml in mango and from < 3 to > 1100 MPN/ml in pineapple juices. Total coliform counts in water samples were in the range of < 0.018 to > 16 MPN/ml. Pineapple juice was more acidic (pH= 4.26
