Abstract

Fruit juice is widely consumed everywhere in the world because of its authentic taste and is popular among both adults and children. Several studies have been conducted on common juice available in Dhaka to detect the level of microbial contamination. Consequently, the current study was done to evaluate the microbiology of a total of 25 samples and compare drinks from three different categories (street vending, packaged drinks, and soft drinks) that were collected from various locations throughout the city of Dhaka. Among all the samples fresh juice samples were found to be highly contaminated with different microbes where the total viable bacterial count was within a range of 103 to 106 CFU/ml. However, other pathogenic microbes like E. coli, Pseudomonas spp., Staphylococcus spp., Vibrio spp., and Salmonella spp. also present in fresh juice but were totally absent in other samples. The result indicates that street juice samples may be prepared under unhygienic environments and which may serve as a reservoir of various pathogenic bacteria. The study reveals that government should take necessary action to ensure public health safety. Stamford Journal of Microbiology, Vol.12 (1) 2022: 54-58

达卡市不同种类水果和软饮料样品微生物质量评价

果汁因其纯正的味道在世界各地被广泛消费，深受成人和儿童的欢迎。对达卡常见的果汁进行了几项研究，以检测微生物污染水平。因此，目前的研究是为了评估总共25个样本的微生物学，并比较从达卡市不同地点收集的三种不同类别的饮料(街头自动售货、包装饮料和软饮料)。在所有样品中，鲜榨果汁样品被不同的微生物严重污染，活菌总数在103 ~ 106 CFU/ml之间。然而，其他病原微生物如大肠杆菌、假单胞菌、葡萄球菌、弧菌和沙门氏菌也存在于鲜榨果汁中，但在其他样品中完全不存在。结果表明，街头果汁样品可能在不卫生的环境下制备，可能成为各种致病菌的宿主。研究表明，政府应采取必要措施确保公众健康安全。微生物学报，Vol.12 (1) 2022: 54-58
