Bacteriology Quality of Zobo Drinks Consumed in Some Parts of Osun State, Nigeria
The bacteriology of Zobo drink prepared and sold at nine market;
Alamisi market, Ikirun; Oluode market, Osogbo; Oja obi market,
Ila-Orangun, Ede;Sabo market, Ile-ife; Ilesha market, Owena market;
Timi market; Orile owu market, Ikire market in Osun state Nigeria were
assessed. Zobo drinks were purchased from these markets on twelve
different occasions for a period of six month. The samples were
bacteriologically analyzed using standard methods. All the screened
drink samples had varying levels of bacterial contamination ranging
from 1.2 x 102 to 1.2 x 106 CFU/ml for a total viable count. 58.3% of
the total sampled drinks (n=108) i.e (63/108) had bacterial count above
the acceptable limit < 104CFU/ml. While all the drinks sampled had
total coliform count exceeding the recommended safe level of zero
organisms detectable per 100ml. seven bacteria species were isolated
from the zobo drinks sampled. The bacteria isolated were E. coli ,
Bacillus species, S. aureus , S. faecalis , proteus species,
Enterobacter species, and Klebsiella species. E coli, Bacillus
species, Enterobacter species and S aureus were isolated from all the
samples. The present finding revealed that zobo drinks retailed and
sold in these markets are potential vehicles for transmitting food
borne illness, thus the need to develop Good Manufacturing Process
(GMP) and Post Production Preservation and Packaging technique. \ua9
