| Abstract | U ovom radu, ispitana je mikrobna populacija minimalno procesiranog povrća tj. svježe narezanog
povrća iz trgovačkih centara u Osijeku, Hrvatska. Ukupno je analizirano 39 uzoraka svježe narezanog povrća:
salate (matovilac, kristal, puterica, rikula), kupus (bijeli i crveni), mrkva i poriluk. Određene su aerobne,
mezofilne bakterije, aerobne, psihrofilne bakterije, aerobne, sporogene bakterije, bakterije porodice
Aeromonas, bakterije porodice Pseudomonas, koliformne bakterije, bakterije porodice Enterobacteriaceae,
bakterije vrste Escherichia coli i plijesni.
U analiziranim uzorcima je utvrđena najveća prisutnost aerobnih, mezoflinih bakterija (do 1,38×108/g),
aerobne, psihrofilne bakterije (do 1,2×108/g) i bakterija porodice Pseudomonas (do 4,67×106/g). Koliformne
bakterije, bakterije porodice Enterobacteriaceae, bakterije Aeromonas sp. i plijesni su bile manje zastupljene.
Nije utvrđena prisutnost bakterije vrste Escherichia coli. |
| Abstract (english) | In this work, microbial population of minimally processed vegetables – “ready to eat” salads collected form supermarkets in Osijek, Croatia, was assessed. Total number of 39 samples of fresh cut vegetables was analyzed: leafy salads, cabbage, carrots and leek. Total counts of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, aerobic psychrophilic bacteria, aerobic sporogenic bacteria, bacteria Aeromonas sp., bacteria Pseudomonas sp., total coliforms, bacteria of Enterobacteriaceae family, Escherichia coli and fungi was analyzed.
Highest contamination of analyzed samples was observed by aerobic, mesophilic bacteria (1,38×108/g), aerobic psycrophilic bacteria (1,2×108/g) and Pseudomonas sp. (4,67×106/g). Coliforms, Enterobacteriaceae, Aeromonas and fungi were present in lower counts. The presence of Escherichia coli was not observed in analyzed samples. |
