The tests in agar dishes and agar drops were used simultaneously to determine the amount of mesophilic aerobic and facultative-anaerobic microorganisms and coliform bacteria in certain food products. The results of the analysis of more than 40 samples of different food products in both the tests have proved to be identical. The method can be recommended for practical use at laboratories of sanitary-epidemiological stations during prophylactic sanitary control, and at laboratories of food manufacturing enterprises.

The quality and safety of fish products are crucial because poorly handled fish products can result in foodborne illnesses, spoilage, and economic losses. Data on the nutritional and microbiological quality of fish products in Ethiopia, especially in Lake Tana, is limited. This study assessed the proximate composition and microbial quality of raw and open sun-dried fish products in Lake Tana.

Chicken thigh is a popular and widely consumed meat product. However, its high moisture content and susceptibility to microbial spoilage limit its shelf life. To address this issue, we investigated the efficacy of an edible coating based on alginate nanoparticles (AlgNPs) containing menthol, essential oil (EO), or their combination for extending the shelf life of chicken thigh.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared sugar-free (A) and sugar-added (B) carob sherbet fermented with water kefir grains, noting significant changes in pH, TSS, and titratable acidity after 48 hours of fermentation.
  • After fermentation, sugar-free A maintained higher levels of beneficial compounds like gallic acid and displayed a lower decrease in antioxidant activity (DPPH) compared to sugar-added B, although both saw declines over time.
  • Moreover, A showed better mineral retention after 14 days, while B exhibited higher microbial counts throughout fermentation and storage.
