    Bacteriological Quality of Buffalo Meat Special Reference to Escherichia Coli
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2001) Anita Kumari; Rajendra Yadava
    India occupies a leading position in the world in terms of livestock population. It has a share of about 50.0 per cent of buffalo (84.51 million) and nearly 15.0 per cent each of cattle (204.52 million) and goat (115.28 million) population of the world. India ranks first in the world in buffalo and goat population and sixth in the population of sheep (50.78 million). Meat is a high protein source. It is now gaining entry to many of the traditional vegetarian families in India. In addition, India is also emerging as one of the major exporters of meat and meat products. In fact, the export of meat has increased considerably in recent years. This is mainly because Indian meat is Internationally price competitive. Indian meat industry has established lucrative market in the Gulf countries and Malaysia, and has been fetching a substantial amount of foreign exchange. Commercial organization engaged in meat processing must maintain satisfactory microbiological standards of their products to ensure consumer's safety and protect from spoilage. Such quality control and food safety programme in India appear to be in their infancy. In order to assess the quality of food for consumer's safety, it is essential to examine it for bacteria and food spoilage organisms. Therefore, the present study was undertaken with the objective to assess the hygienic quality and presence of Escherichia coli. A total of 40 samples of buffalo meat from two different sources of Ranchi town i.e. slaughter house Doranda and Kantatoli were analyzed for bacteriological quality. The result of bacteriological examination has been expressed in log₁0 scale.

    Hygienic Quality of Dresses Chicken Meat special Reference to Escherichia coli
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1999) Shilendra Kumar Sinha; Rejendra Yadav
    In India, the broiler meat is considered to be the meat of choice due to, its short production period, low initial investment and its relatively lower price. Commercial organization engaged in preparing ready to cook poultry and those engaged in export of raw broiler meat must maintain strict microbiological standards to ensure consumer safety and protection from spoilage. Unfortunately such food safety norms and programmes are still not adhered to in our country and there are a lot of roadside shops selling contaminated and unhygienic broiler meat. Therefore the present study was undertaken with the objective of assessing hygienic quality and presence of food borne pathogens i.e. E. coli. Altogether 50 (fifty) samples of broiler meat from 3 sources i.e. Ratu Road Market, Kadru Market and a Private Poultry Farm at Kanke were analysed for bacteriological quality. The samples of Ratu Road Market yielded TVC ranging from 7.8808 to 8.3010 with an average of 8.1003, Fourteen out of fifteen samples were positive for coliform and count varied from zero to 4.0414 with an average of 3.6873. All the fifteen samples were positive for faecal streptococci and the counts ranged from 3.0 to 3.3617 with an average of 3.2001. The samples from Kadru Market yielded TVC ranging from 7.6002 to 8.3979 with an average of 7.9732. Twelve out of 15 samples

    Bacteriological Quality of Chevon with special reference to Staphylococcus aureus
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Chandreshwar Prasad; Rajendra Yadav
    In Asian countries, goats are exclusively considered as meat animals. The preference for goat meat (chevon) is probably related to certain special features including distinctive flavour, which make it quite different from mutton. Visceral fat deposition is characteristics of goat. This in turn, affects the succulence and tenderness of chevon. Commercial organizations engaged in meat processing must maintain satisfactory microbiological standards of their products to ensure consumer safety and protect from spoilage. Such quality control and food safety programme in India appear to be in their infancy. In order to assess the quality of food for consumer's safety it is essential to examine it for bacteria responsible food poisoning and also food spoilage organisms. Therefore, the present study was undertaken with the objective to assess the hygienic quality and presence of food borne pathogens i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Altogether 40 samples of chevon from two different sources of Ranchi town i.e. meat booths, Kanke and Bahu bazaar were analyzed. for bacteriological quality. The results of bacteriological examination has been expressed in log 10 scale. Total viable count in the samples of chevon obtained from meat booths, Kanke ranged from 6.3979 to 7.1847 with an average of 6.8463/g. All the samples were positive for coliform and count varied from 4.9031 to 5.6721 with an average of 5.4658/g.

    Studies on Heat Resistant Bacillus Strains Isolated From Different Fermented Foods With Special Reference to Emetic Enterotoxin
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Ram Sarikh Prasad; Dr. Md Kalimuddin
    1.Twenty five samples (20.83%) were found positive for heat resistant Bacillus cereus out of hundred twenty samples of different fermented foods. 2. All the five types of fermented foods viz. dosa premix, rice beer, idli, curd and soysauce examined, were found to be contaminated with heat resistant Bacillus cereus. The incidence of Bacillus cereus in dosa premix, rice beer, idli, curd and soysauce was 37.50%, 33.33%, 25.00 % , 4.16% and 4.16%, respectively. 3. Area-wise incidence of heat resistant Bacillus cereus in fermented foods viz. Dhurwa, Hinoo, Main road Ranchi, Kanke and Kanke road was 23.21%. 16.65%, 19.98% 23.21%, respectively. 4. The bio typing of the isolates revealed that the fermented foods were contaminated with biotypes 1(16.00 %), 2 (4.00%), 4 (72.00%), 5 (4.00%) and 8 (4.00%). This would help to understand the epidemiology of food poisoning due to Bacillus cereus. 5.Most of the isolates from fermented foods ferment xylose (84.00%) and the findings are in accordance with the European. reports.

    Studies on bacillus Enterotoxins and their Pathogenesis
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1997) Malik Mehboob Willayat; K.G.Narayan
    1. Six varieties of rice collected from north, south, east and west of Ranchi city were found contaminated to an extent of 50.00, 56.25, 81.25, 87.50, 100.00 and 100.00 percent, respectively, for Sonachur, Rice King, Mansuri, Parmal, Gandevta and Bundu. 2. Percentage of sample bearing heat resistant strains (100°C, 20 minutes) was 7.29 indicating that cooked rice may not be sterile always as is presumed. 3. The biotyping of the isolates revealed that the rice was contaminated with biotypes 7(28.94%), 6( 23,68 %), 5(18,42%) and 2(13.15%). This would help to understand the epidemiology of food poisoning due to Bacillus cereus. 4. Most of the isolates from rice (65.78%) did not ferment xylose and the findings are in accordance with the European reports. 5. The field isolates varied in production of the type of enterotoxins. 45.83 percent isolates produced both emetic as well as diarrhoeal type enterotoxins compared to 33.33 and 20.80 percent producing only emetic and diarrhoeal enterotoxins, respectively. 6. Shake-Cultures incubated at 30-32°C for 5-12 hours was ideal for optimal production of diarrhoeal enterotoxin as tested by VPR and MLT. 7. Bacillus cereus metabolites viz. phospholipase C, hemolysins and the lethal toxins when separated by gel filtration and other Methods did produces VPR or MLT in Vivo but Produced strong in Vitro lecithinovitelline reaction and hemolysis.

    Studies on Bacillus Cereus Isolated from Milk and Milk Products
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1997) Miss Elanbam Motina; Md,Kalimuddin
    Altogether 250 samples of milk and milk products from urban and suburban areas of Ranchi were tested, out of which 81 samples revealed contamination with Bacillus cereus and the percent positivity was 32.40. Higher percent of contamination was found in urban (36.00) than in suburban (28.80) areas. However, statistical analysis revealed that the difference was not significant. Results of studies on milk and milk products also showed similar pattern of contamination with Bacillus cereus. Of the milk products tested, highest percentage (41.37%) of rasogula samples followed by milk powder (40.00%) pera and berfi each (26.31%) were found contaminated. The more samples of raw milk from urban (35.71%) than from suburban (25.00%) areas were found positive for Bacillus cereus. The average presumptive counts of Bacillus cereus in the samples of milk and milk products drawn from urban areas were more than in the samples of suburban areas. but this difference was statistically not significant. Majority of the positive samples of milk and milk products had a presumptive and confirmatory counts of <4.000 cfu/ml or g in suburban and urban areas. Confirmatory counts of Bacillus cereus was 5.000 cfu/g and above in milk products from urban area. Only two samples from suburban area were found contaminated at the level of 8.000 to 9.000 cfu/g of berfi.

    Biotyping and Serotyping of Bacillus Cereus and Serologic Method for Detection of Enterotoxin in Food and Faec al Specimens
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1992) Narendra Kumar Jha; K.G.Naryan
    Bacillus cereus is commonly associated with food poisoning outbreaks in England, Australia, Canada, Japan and other European countries. Both 'emetic as well as diarrhoeal type of food borne illness have been reported in these countries. It has been found to be associated with diarrhoeal cases in human beings in India. A number of B. cereus strains (averaging 50.0% of European and 100.0% of Indian) are non-typable with British serotyping system. Therefore suitable markers are needed for epidemiological studies. Keeping this in view altogether 42 isolates of B cereus were studied. Of these 40 were isolated in this laboratory and 2 were obtained from PHLS, Colindale, England. These latter were associated with diarrhoeal and emetic type of food borne 111ness. Out of these 40 Indian isolates 26 were non-typable with British serotyping scheme while rest 14 were not sent for typing. The PHLS, Colindale, further reported that majority of these fermented xylose, a rare character and these resembled clusters of emetic type enterotoxin producers. All 42 isolates in this study were subjected to 11 tests required for species identification. In addition 18/40 sugars used by the PHLS, Colindale were used to study fermentative ability. The isolates under test were found variable (1.e. 20-80% of strains) with respect to fermentation of xylose, salicin and cellobiose.
