Estimation of Microbial Population in Some Confectionary Products

Microbial analysis is essential part of food safety. Confidence in the safety and integrity of the food supply is an important requirement for consumers. For the evaluation we used following confectionary items such as Dairy milk, Jam, Jelly, biscuit (Parle-G, Priya gold, and Britannia). For microbiological test all sample were used in triplate form. Specific media were used for identification of different microbes (Yeast, Mould, Bacteria). For the identification and microbial analysis TPC, PDA, Macconkey media were used and for confirmation of gram positive bacteria gram staining have done. Number of gram positive seen in jelly and Mould was seen in biscuit. Aim of our studies were compare specified confectionary product and find out the amount of microbes found in all confectionary products and also compare all on the basis of microbes presence in all confectionary products.
