| dc.description.abstract | One hundred twenty five samples from five different spices namely, Fenugreek (Trigenella joenulll-graecum), 'abish'; Black kumin (Nigella sativa), 'tikur azmud'; Ethiopian caraway (Trachyspermllln alllllli), 'nech azmud'; Ginger (Zingiber officinale), 'zingibel' and Korarima cardamom (Aji'atnolllulIl corrorima), 'korarima' were examined for the incidence and level of contamination by Bacillus species A total of seven hundred eighty one isolates of Bacillus species were isolated and identified. The highest average spore count (log 8.32 cfulg ) was noted in ginger and this was not significantly different within samples (C.Y., <10%). Although black kumin yielded the smallest average count of spores (log 1.63 cfulg), the counts, in 13 of the 25 samples was below detectable levels « log 1 cfulg), resulting quite significant variation within samples (C.Y., 117%). The most frequently isolated aerobic sporeformers were Bacillus plllnilus (43.7%), B. sllbtilis (16.6%), B. circuians (11.2%), B. lichenifonnis (8.2%) and B. cereus (4.9%). B. pumilus was most important in ginger and korarima than the other spices tested. The proteolytic, lipolytic and amylolytic activities of B. pumilus, B. subtilis and B. cereus were assessed. The B. pumilus isolates were a-c--ti-v-e.. -i-n- proteolysis and lipolysis, but amylolysis activity -.-----.---~--.--.------.- .. ---.. - - -- -- . - - .-- .. _._- ------~-.-. was negative in all isolates.

The growth pattern and spoilage potential of B. pUlIlilus, B. subtilis and B. cereus isolated from the above mentioned spices were tested on legume-based, meat-based and vegetable-based sauces. The growth pattern of B. plimillis followed almost similar growth pattern in all sauces. B. subtilis showed a sharp increament of growth between 6h and 12h in legume-based and meatbased sauces. For the B. cereus the highest growth was observed at 18h in legume-based and meat-based sauces. However, growth rate in was low in all cases. | en_US |
