Study on microbiological analysis of street sugarcane juices available in Farmgate, Dhaka

Abstract

The study was conducted on microbial analysis of street sugarcane juicess collected from selected areas of Dhaka, Bangladesh. There were four samples of sugarcane juicess were collected from Farmgate, Dhaka. In this study four samples of sugarcane juicess the pH found in the range of (5.06 to 5.95) and the acidity (0.009 to 0.018) and the brix (17-280). The TSS, TDS and TS (27.75 g/l to 49.75 g/l), (57.371 g/l to 126.575), and (85.121 g/l to 176.32 g/l) respectively .In this study the lowest TVC (total viable count) is 2.5×108 Cfu/ml in sample-2and the highest TVC (total viable count) is 3.7×109 Cfu/ml in sample-3. The lowest TCC (total coliform count) is 5×106 cfu/ml in sample-1 and the highest TCC (total coliform count) is about 4×107 cfu/ml in sample-3. E.coli is also found in this study the lowest E.coli found in sample-4 is about 2.0×104 cfu/ml and the highest is about 3.6×104 cfu/ml in sample-3. Salmonella and shigella are also found in few number. The lowest number is 5.2 ×102 cfu/ml in sample-2, and 1.7×104 cfu/ml in sample-2. And the highest number is about 15×103 cfu/ml in sample-3 and 1.2×105 cfu/ml in sample-1.
