Microbial Content of cooked meat kebab Lab Report

Microbial Content of cooked meat kebab - Lab Report voiceHowever, because the meat is cooked on one surface only, there is an increased opportunity for pathogen outgrowth and microorganism multiplication (Vazgecer, Ulu and Oztan, 2004).There have been reported cases of food contaminant and foodborne disease occurrences circumstantially connected to kebab consumptions which can lead to more complex outcomes (Angelillo, I.F., Viggiani, N.M.A., Rizzo, L. and Bianco, A., 2000. Food handlers and foodborne diseases knowledge, attitudes, and reported behavior in Italy. Journal of Food security department 63 3, pp. 381385.

Some human ailments may be caused by foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella serotypes, Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, clostridium perfringens, and Bacillus cereus (Swaminathan and Feng, 1994). The changing epidemiology of foodborne diseases and the resurfacing of some microorganisms and pathogens are attributable to various conditions, such as everyday habits and routines of consumers, food handling and preparation, food manufacture and distribution, and perceptiveness of food risks (Lacey, 1993 Roberts, 2000 Slutsker, Altekruse, and Swerdlow, 1998).This experiment will determine levels of aerobic microorganisms and identify probable pathogens in two kebab meat samples of chicken and lamb. Moreover, it will verify probabilities on disease transmission and assess kebabs quality and safety for human consumption.10 grams of the chicken sample was placed in a unfruitful stomacher bag with 90ml of buffered peptone water homogenized with a blender incubated for 24 hours. 1 ml of chicken sample was then suspended into 9ml of SCB and incubated for another 24 hours at 37 C.10 grams of the lamb sample was placed in a sterile stomacher bag with 90ml of Ringer solution homogenized with a blender reduce with 2 0uL of sample and 180ul of
