Out of 40 samples of Mushroom 30 obtained from local shop and 10 from standard shops cultivated purposely for sell had total viable counts ranging from 4.193 1 to 10.464 (8.249 +0.311) and 4.613 to 8.322 (6.062 ±0.312) respectively. All of the samples collected from local and standard shops were also put to coliform counts. 25 samples of khoa from local shops and 15 fromstadshops showed coliform counts ranging from 0.000 and 6.255 (4.229 ± 0.839) and from 0.000 to 5.322 (3.315+ 0.631) in two types of samples respectively. Of 40 samples of paneer 20 samples collected each from local and standard shops revealed coliform counts ranging from 4.602 to 5.959 (5.276 ± 0.079) and from 3.204 to 5.748 (5.013±0.121) respectively.EnglishThesis
