| Abstract: | The study aims to assess the microbiological status of selected food and water samples collected from a selected region of Shillong. The research was carried out at the State Food Testing Laboratory, Commissionerate of Food Safety under the Department of Microbiology Pasteur Hills, Shillong, Meghalaya. For our research, four selected samples were taken for the study. These samples include tap water, homemade jam, infant milk powder, and pork samples respectively. The selected samples were collected from various sources and selected regions of Shillong. Samples of ‘tap water’ were collected from selected localities of Shillong namely; Mawprem, Lumdiengjri, and Jaiaw areas. From the study, it was shown that two localities viz, Lumdiengjri and Jaiaw show the presence of E. coli and coliform whereas; one locality of Shillong i.e., ‘Mawprem locality’ depicts negative results respectively. Similarly; samples of ‘homemade jams’ were also collected on random sampling and analyzed in the laboratory where the result was found to be all negative. Another sample of 'Infant milk powder’ was analyzed as per the Food Safety and Standard Act 2006 and the results were found to be negative. However, Pork samples were similarly collected on random sampling from three different localities of Shillong viz, Mawprem, Mawlai, and Iewduh area and the result obtained from analysis of these pork samples indicate that all the samples collected from these localities show positive results for the present of E. coli, Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus spp, Yeast and Molds and Pseudomonas spp. The study also shows that all the collected pork followed standard procedure during sampling where a clean environment was taken for this study to prevent cross contamination. The evaluation of these samples tested was authentic. During analysis, negative and positive controls were taken to indicate quality control of the product tested. Therefore, from the study, it was observed that; from the four selected samples, two samples namely, water and pork samples were found to show the presence of pathogen whereas, the homemade jam and infant milk powder showed the absence of pathogen respectively. |
