MICROBIAL EXAMINATION OF SPOILT AVOCADO FRUIT

ABSTRACT

            Microbial examination of spoilt Avocado fruits was carried out to obtained the causal organism.  A total of 60 avocado from Ogbete Main market and New market Enugu were examined by culturing on nutrient agar and sabourand dextrose agar (SM), for bacteria and fungi causing post – harvest spoilage on the fruits; six bacterial species and six fungal species were isolated. The bacteria include Erwinia SP  (66.7%), Streptococcus sp,  *25%), E. Coli (18.9%) and  staphycoccus sp (33.3%), Pseudomonas sp (20%) and Chromobacterium sp (5%) has the lowest percentage occurrence, Erwinia sp,  Pseudomonas sp and chromobacterium sp were found to be absent in the control.  The fungi species, includes Aspergillus sp  (50%), Pericillium sp  (25%), Fusarium sp  (16.6%), Rhisopus sp  (13.3%), currularia sp (8.3%) and Rhoctorula sp  (3.3%), were also kolated Avocado fruits from Ogbete main market were more contaminated than the avocado form the new market.

1.0              INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND  OF STUDY

            The Avocado pear, Persea   Americana is a tropical and sub tropical  fruit tree, originated in central America or adjoining regions of North or South America.  It has now spread to much of the near tropical world.  The avocado is limited especially by its climatic requirements, with their race differences.  It is also highly susceptible to drought injury.  But excess soil moisture is equally fatal, encouraging the dread phytophthora root rot in most of the world, and where  the fungus is unknown. Despite the high water activity of  most fruits, the how PH leads to their spoilage being dominated by fungi, both yeast and moulds.  Other common diseases of pears include the black spot or scab caused by as comycetes

Avocado fruits has being estimated that one fourth of all produced harvested is no consumed before spoilage (Salulche, 1974), spoilage of fresh fruits usually occurs during storage and transport and while wacting to be processed unlike many other foods fruits after picking and before processing are ‘a live’ of the products plus the normal ripering process complicate an independent discussion of the microbiological spoilage problems are really market diseases of these products:

Shape, varies from slightly obligate to highly elongate, an intermediate oval or pear shape is preferred.  Yellow to purple or black.

The composition of the fruit influences the likely type of spoilage.  thus bacteria soft rot is widespread for the most part among the fruits is limited to those that are not highly acid.  Because most fruits are somewhat acid are fairly dry at the surface, and are deficient in B vitamins, mold are the most common causes of spoilage.  The compositions too, must determine the particular kind of molds most likely to grow, thus avocado support a large, variety of fungal spoilage organisms and other kinds comparatively few.

1.2       STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

            Micro-organisms are known to destroy fruits, thereby reducing the quantity for consumption and the profits desirable from fruits such as avocado.  Many spot are noticed on pears which do change the taste when consumed.

Bacteria and fungi are harmful and useful living organisms.  The spoilage of most fruits is always associated with  bactera and fungi, many diseses of plants are associated with bacteria and fungi (Micro-organisms)

The adverse effect of bacteria in plants and fruits has resulted in shortage of avocado fruits for consumption. Revenue is lost by farmers and industries that uses avocado fruits as a raw materials for fruit juice due to the spoilage caused by micro-organisms.

1.3       AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

            Microbial examination of spoilt avocado fruits

To isolate and identify how micro-organism destroy avocado so as to guide producer  and farmers on how to manage the fruits

To isolate and identify it those micro-organisms are responsible for the spoilage

To compare the extent of spoilage in the area of colelction (tree) with that of market

1.4       HYPOTHESIS

            HO:     Microbial organisms do not cause spoilage of avocado at either in the field or during exposure for sale.

Hg       = Microorganisms (Fungi and Bacteria) are responsible for avocado spoilage.

1.5              SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study will be useful to farmers, fruit juice industries and consumers of avocado fruits. T he outcome of this research will guide users of avocado fruit on the best method of preserving to avoid spoilage, the research work also will add to the literature and information existing about avocado for student and companies that uses avocado as raw materials for the production of fruit juice

ISOLATION OF MICROORGANISMS ASSOCIATED TO THE DETERIORATE OF TOMATO FRUIT

ABSTRACT

Evaluation of microorganisms associated with deterioration of tomato  fruits were carried out. Analysis revealed that various bacteria and fungi in high densities participated in the spoilage processes. Analysis was conducted at 24 hours interval for four days. In tomato, bacterial population of 2.6 x 103cfu/g on the first day increased to 2.5 x 106cfu/g on the second day and reduced to 4.1 x 105cfu/g on the third day. In pawpaw, the load was 5.0 x 106cfu/g on the first day and increased to 1.9 x 106cfu/g on the second day but reduced to 1.3 x 105cfu/g on the 3rd day. Pathogenic bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, Micrococcus varians) were isolated on the 1st day and 2nd day in the samples.. In tomato, mould emancipation count was 3.2 x 103cfu/g on the first day but increased to 7.8 x 107cfu/g on the fourth day. Microbial species encountered were bacteria such as Micrococcus varians,   Lactobacillus fermenti, Bacillus subtilis,

Rothia sp in pawpaw and, Lactobacillus fermenti, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Leuconostoc species, Rothia species in tomato, and fungi such as Penicillium nalgiovense, Penicillium notatum, Saccharomyces sp, R. stolonifer, Humicola sp,

A. niger and Candida tropicalis in pawpaw. Rhizopus stolonifer, Botrytis cineria, Penicillium notatum, Saccharomyces species, Rhodotorula species, Vorticillium

albo-atrum, Penicillium expansium, Mucor mucido, Monilia sp were isolated from

tomato. Washing of fruits with chlorinated water, fruit storage room kept at high sanitary conditions, treatment of fruits with antimicrobial agents, as well as some forms of refrigeration are necessary to increase shelf-life and reduce the risks of microbial toxins which are deleterious to human health.

ONION IS ASSOCIATED WITH MICRO-ORGANISMS WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF CAUSING SPOILAGE.

ABSTRACT

Onion is associated with micro-organisms which are capable of causing spoilage. Onions with rots were examined microscopically. A solution of it was made and the serial dilution of 1:10-1­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ to 1:1-5  were made from 10ml of the onions sample. From the dilution, 1ml of each diluent was plated on nutrient and saboor and  dextrose  agree to permit the grouth of the common bacterial and fungi, from the roffen onions. Duplicate plates were performed for each dilution. The plates was sivirled of gently to ensure even distribution of diluent and was incubated in inverted position  of 370 c for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the colorues  were counted, with vales yielding 30 to300 (to avoid TFTR and TNTC), the viable count per ml was defermined by multiplying the average number of colories of the duplicate plates by the corresponding factor (MPN table). Gram staining was carried out on the colories and examined microscopically. Representative colories were seperately sus-cultored on nutrient agar slopes for confirmatory characterization of the organism present Biochemical test for identification was also carried out. The result showed a mixed flora of bacterial and fungi including moulds as the organism responsible for spoilage of onions. The fungi isolated were Mucor spp rhizopus spp, Aspergilus spp and saccharomycis spp. The bacteria isolated from the sample were staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pyogenes and Bacillus spp.

1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

Onions is a vegetable crop and ancient in nature if is through to have been domesticated in the central Asia. It is one of the oldest vegetable cultivated by man for food. In the world onion buld are found in ancient Egypt, India, China and Europe during the middle ages, and in the late sixteenth or early seventeenths centuries, it spread to the new world by the Spaniards. The crop is now wide spread in both temperate and tropical regions with Europe as the largest producers (cobley and Steele, 1976).

 

In the tropic most onions are grown with irrigation during the relatively cool dry season in semi arid region, they are not good crop for hot wet tropic. Onions can be grown under a wide range of climatic condition but they succeed best in a mild climate without excessive rainfall or great extremes of heat and cold. They are not suitable to regions with heavy rainfall in the lowland humid tropics. Cool conditions with an adequate moisture supply are most suitable for early growth followed by warm drier condition for maturation, harvesting and curing. They can be grown on a variety of soils, but the soil should be retentive of water, non – packing and rich in nutrient, a good fertile loam usually gives the best result. They may be grown successfully on peat soils. The soil optimum pH is about 6.0 – 7.0 (alkaline) (carl and Hall, 1986).

 

In storage a specific environment must be provided for the onions, if a high quality product is to result. Storage losses are a function of storage environment as well as the condition and cultural practices used during the growing season. Proper control of storage environment can however, significantly extend the storage season from that which would result from storage environment that were not matched to the condition of the onions when placed in storage (carl & Hall, 1986).

 

Onions may be stored in bulk or may be placed in palletised bins that are stacked in a storage structure. The use of bins may make handling of onions convenient but it does make ventilation of the onions more difficult. Improved bins design may alleviate the ventilation problems in future (cobley and Steele, 1976).

 

Onions are packed locally by using basket and jute bags these packaging material come locally from palm; bamboo and fibrous jute trees, also they have different sorts and sizes. These packaging materials have the function for transportation and storability of the onions. Again these packaging material are locally available and relatively cheap. Apart from these few advantages mentioned they have no barrier to dust, not suitable for measuring weight and can easily be crushed which might lead to damage of the onions.

 

The deterioration of raw onions may result from physical factors; actions of their own enzymes, microbial or combination of these factors. Mechanical damage resulting from action of animals, birds or insects or from brushing, wounding, bursting, cutting, freezing, desiccation or other mishandling may predispose towards increased enzymatic action or entrance, and growth of microorganisms. Also previous damage by plant pathogens may make the part of the crop used as food unfit for consumption or may open the way for growth of saprophytes and spoilage by them. Contact with spoilage onions may bring about transfer of organisms causing spoilage and increasing the wastage. Improper environment condition during harvest, transit, storage and marketing may favor spoilage.

 

Genera of bacteria usually present in onion include pseudomonas spp, Bacillus spp, chromobacterium, Enterobacterium, flavobacterium, lactobacillus serratia, staphylococcusspp, streptococcus spp and others and perhaps genera containing plant pathogens, such as Erwinia and  xanthomomes. Grouwth  of some micro-organisms may take place between harvesting and processing or consumption of the vegetable. Adequate control of temperature and humidity will reduce such growth  (frazier and westhoff, 1978).

 

1.2         AIMS OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT

 

The aims of this research project are:

 

1               to isolate, identify and characterize the different micro-organaniszs that are responsible for the spoilage of onions.

 

2               To categorize the pathogenic micro-organisms associated with the spoilage of onions.

 

1.3         STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

 

The society is a place where a vegetable is been consumed everyday. This project research goes a long way in identifying problems which is encountered when spoilage occurs in onions; onion bulb that is contaminated when consumed causes severe stomach ache (presence of enterobacteriacea) because  of the pathogenic micro-organisms present in if  and this inturn is hazardous to ones health. The pathogenic micro-organisms present in the spoilage of onoins are  deterimental to humans e.g pseudomonas spp., staphylococcus spp, Erwinia etc.

 

Onions been a member of the vegetable group  is used widely in seasoning, flavouring and sometimes cured and stored as spicing agent. The proper storage of onions makes it available for use all year round and the effect of spoilagemicro-organisms afecting it has an adverse efect on the society at large because if makes onions not readily available to the society; that is why studies is been carried out in this project research to minimize and or stop spoilage of onions.

 

1.4         HYPOTHESIS

 

HO-A mixed flora of bacteria and fungi is found in spoilt onions.

 

Hi-bacteria and fungi found in onion result in the onions own enzymatic actions causing physical, microbial or combination of these factors leading to entrance and or growth of micro-organisms.

 

1.5         SIGNIFCANCE OF STUDY

 

The justification of this project research is to ascertain the different micro-organism responsible for the spoilage of onions. In this process bacteria and fungi were isolated identified and characterized because they are the microorganisms associated with the spoilage of onions.

 

The deterioration of raw onions can also result from physical factors, actions of their own enzymes, microbial action or combination of these factors. In physical factors; the storage patter can affect the raw onions that is if it is stored in bulk or may be placed in palletized bins and this does not make ventilation of the onions easily, so improved bins design may be of great help. In action of their own enzymes; if the raw onions is crushed during packaging, handling, this may inturn allow the penetration of micro – organisms which will now alter the enzymatic action of the raw onions and may lead to spoilage of the onions flesh which is meant for food and if consumed could be hazardous to health.

ONION IS ASSOCIATED WITH MICRO-ORGANISMS WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF CAUSING SPOILAGE.

ABSTRACT

Onion is associated with micro-organisms which are capable of causing spoilage. Onions with rots were examined microscopically. A solution of it was made and the serial dilution of 1:10-1­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ to 1:1-5  were made from 10ml of the onions sample. From the dilution, 1ml of each diluent was plated on nutrient and saboor and  dextrose  agree to permit the grouth of the common bacterial and fungi, from the roffen onions. Duplicate plates were performed for each dilution. The plates was sivirled of gently to ensure even distribution of diluent and was incubated in inverted position  of 370 c for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the colorues  were counted, with vales yielding 30 to300 (to avoid TFTR and TNTC), the viable count per ml was defermined by multiplying the average number of colories of the duplicate plates by the corresponding factor (MPN table). Gram staining was carried out on the colories and examined microscopically. Representative colories were seperately sus-cultored on nutrient agar slopes for confirmatory characterization of the organism present Biochemical test for identification was also carried out. The result showed a mixed flora of bacterial and fungi including moulds as the organism responsible for spoilage of onions. The fungi isolated were Mucor spp rhizopus spp, Aspergilus spp and saccharomycis spp. The bacteria isolated from the sample were staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pyogenes and Bacillus spp.

MICROBIAL FOOD SPOILAGE DISORDERS (DISEASES) AND ITS CONTROL

ABSTRACT

Foods and microorganisms have long and interesting associations which developed long before the beginning of recorded history. Foods are not only nutritious to consumers, but are also excellent sources of nutrients for microbial growth. Depending on the microorganisms present, foods may spoil or be preserved by fermentation. Foods can act as a reservoir for disease transmission, and thus detection and control of pathogens and spoilage organisms are important areas of food microbiology. During the entire sequence of food handling from the producer to the final consumer, microorganisms can affect food quality and develop potential health effects for humans. Food spoilage is a metabolic process that causes foods to be undesirable or unacceptable for human consumption due to changes in sensory characteristics (tactile, visual, olfactory or flavour). Chemical reactions that cause offensive sensory changes in foods are mediated by a variety of microbes that use food as a carbon and energy source. These organisms include bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Many physical and chemical methods are employed to control the growth of certain microbes on foods thereby preventing their spoilage.
