Microbiological analysis of street vended sugarcane juice in noida city, india
The outbreaks of human infections and diseases have been found in street vended contaminated fruit juices. So, there is a need to analyze the microbiological quality and safety of street vended juices for human consumption. The objective of this study was to analyze the microbiological quality of street vended sugarcane juice sold in Noida city, India. Total 40 samples of freshly extracted sugarcane juice from Noida city were collected and studied during the months of June 2013 to August 2013. The results indicated the pH of the collected samples in acidic range. MPN of samples (total coliforms) range from 9.4 MPN per 100 ml to greaterThan 2400 MPN per 100 ml. Spread plate technique on standard agar showed the presence of lessThan i greaterThan Pseudomonas aeruginosa lessThan /i greaterThan (25%), lessThan i greaterThan Salmonella lessThan /i greaterThan spp (57.5%), lessThan i greaterThan Klebsiella lessThan /i greaterThan spp (90%), lessThan i greaterThan S. aureus lessThan /i greaterThan (82.5%) and lessThan i greaterThan Escherichia coli lessThan /i greaterThan (72.5%) in the juice samples mainly due to unhygienic practices followed by the street vendors implying the immediate need of monitoring so as to improve microbial quality of juices
