Abstract


The objective of the present investigation was to study the microbial load of fermented camel milk gariss procured from different locations of Khartoum State, Sudan. Gariss prepared in Khartoum State collected from ten different locations five from Khartoum North, three from Khartoum and two from Omdurman) were subjected to microbial examination (i.e. total bacterial counts, lactic acid bacteria, total coliforms, E.coli, yeasts and moulds, Staphylococcus aureus counts and salmonella detection). According to the statistical analysis of the results of this study there were no significant differences in total viable counts of bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, E.coli, yeasts and moulds and Staph counts in the three towns of Khartoum State. Coliform counts (24.25 mpn/ml) in Omdurman were significantly lower than (51.1 mpn/ml) of Khartoum North and (52.83 mpn/ml) of Khartoum. Khartoum North and Khartoum coliform counts they were statistically not different. Only one location positive for salmonella tests located in Khartoum North, while there were three locations negative for Staphylococcus aureus tests. The study concluded that microbial load of gariss collected from different locations in Khartoum State has different trends associated with this factor.
