The aim of the present study is microbial analysis of freshly prepared orange juices sold in the markets of Dehradun (Uttrakhand). Bacterial count and yeast count has been done by spread plate method and pour plate method. Isolated strains were characterized on the basic of microscopy and certain biochemical tests. Orange juice at suddhowala showed...

... viable count of microorganisms in orange juice was variable in suddhowala and premnagar. In, suddhowala total viable count was 420 bacteria, 240 yeast and 60 mold but less total viable count of microorganism in orange juice which was collected at premnagar i.e. 200 bacteria, 145 yeast and 50 mold (Table 1). These strains were characterized on the basis of microscopy and biochemical tests. ...Similar publications

... In developing countries like India, packaged fruit juices and fresh fruit juices by street food vendor outlets are widely consumed by large population [19]. In local market, people tend to think about the nutritive benefits but quality aspects are however ignored [20]. Due to improper practices and poor hygiene, there may be chances of diarrhoeal diseases because of microbial contamination. ...
Aim and Objective: The objective of the present study is to determine microbial contamination in fresh and packaged commercial fruit juices (including a combination of Aloe vera with fruit juices) available in the Ahmedabad city of Gujarat, India. Materials and Methods: Seventeen samples were collected from various parts of the city which includes 9 commercial fruit juice samples and 8 street vended fresh fruit juice samples. Samples were examined for Total plate count, Yeast and mould count, coliform count, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella, Enterobacteriaceae, Listeria monocytogens and Vibrio Cholerae. Results: Commercial fruit juices do not exceed the FSSAI standards for fruit juices and are free of harmful pathogens making themsafe for human consumption. Street vended fresh fruit juice samples exceedthe FSSAI limit for Total Plate count, Yeast and mould count and Coliform count. Street vended Fresh fruit juices demonstratethepresence of Ecoli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus in 75% (6/8) samples. Enterobacteriaceae were identified in street vended fruit juices which exceeds the FSSAI standard limit. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that commercial fruit juices were safe for human consumption but fresh juices showed significant microbial growth and harmful pathogens which must be controlled to ensure consumer’s safety and health. However regular monitoring of commercial and fresh fruit juices is recommended to avoid food borne illness resulting from pathogens encountered in the study.
