Bbb. Reddy et al., BACTERIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF ICE-CREAM MARKETED IN TIRUPATI, A PILGRIMAGE TOWN OF INDIA, Journal of Food Science and Technology, 31(2), 1994, pp. 151-152
Counts of mesophilic aerobes, coliforms, aerobic spore formers and sta
phylococci in market samples of icecream varied in relation to the sou
rces and packages. Higher counts of coliforms were prevalent in sample
s collected from local vendors. Icecream samples from parlours and hot
els showed higher staphylococcal counts. With reference to the package
s, icecream sold in cups had higher counts of coliforms and staphyloco
cci, while aerobic spore formers were on a higher side in icecream bar
s.
