                                              ABSTRACT

Twenty (20) samples of suya meat in Enugu were collected randomly and analyzed microbiologically and the isolates were identified as Staphylococcus aureu (35%), Escherichia coli (15%), Streptococcus species (15%), Pseudomonas (35%). The most frequently isolated organisms were Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas. The total viable bacterial counts ranged from 1.9x  3.8x  cfu/g whereas, total coliform count ranged from 1.1x -3.0x  cfu/g on Nutrient agar and MacConkey agar  respectively. The result revealed that the hygienic condition of the meat was below acceptable standard for human comsumption.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0                                          INTRODUCTION

1.1      BACKGRONUD OF THE STUDY

Meat is the flesh of animals which serves as food; it is obtained from sheep, cattle, goat and swine (Haman, 1997). Meat is a major source of protein and an important source of vitamins for most people in many parts of the world, thus they are essential for the growth, repair and maintenance of body cells which is necessary for our everyday activities. 

Meat could be traced back to human history, then when primitive men use raw flesh of dead animals. But as man developed, he domesticated  wild animals. Beef have been the major supply of meat in Nigeria as a result of extensive and semi-intensive cattle production system in Nigeria by Fulani and Hausa people of the northern Nigeria. (Umoh, 2004).

Suya meat is a boneless lean meat of mutton, beef, goat or chicken meat staked on sticks, coated with sauces, oiled and then roasted over wood using a fire from charcoal. It is a traditionally processed meat product and is usually not done with strict hygiene condition because they are still done locally.that is served hot and sold along streets, at clubs, picnics centers, and restaurants and within institutions. Suya meat is one of the intermediate moisture products that are easy to prepare and highly relished.

Due to the chemical composition and characteristic, meat are highly perishable foods which provide an excellent medium for  growth of many hazardous microorganisms that can cause infection in human and also lead to meat spoilage and economic loss. The most important bacterial meat spoilage is caused by lactic acid bacteria which is physiologically related group of fastidious and ubiquitous gram-positive organisms. These  include many species such as Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Streptococcus.

Since meat has a high nutritive value, microorganisms could easily grow on it. The possible sources of contamination are through slaughtering of sick animals, washing the meat with dirty water, handling by butchers, contamination by flies, processing close to sewage or refuse dumps environment, spices, transportation and use of contaminated equipment such as knife and other utensils. (Igyor and Uma, 2005).

The slaughtering process affords extensive contamination of sterile tissue with gram-negative enteric bacteria from animal intestine including Salmonella species and Escherichia coli as well as contaminant such as gram-positive Lactic cocci associated with humans, animals and the environment. Enterococci and Clostridia have been isolated from lymph node of red meat animals (Lawries, 2000, Alexander et al. 1998).

Microorganisms grow on meat causing visual, textural and organoleptic changes when they release metabolite (Jackson et al. 2001). The smoke produced as a number of effects including preservative effect resulting from the deposition of organic compounds all presents in the smoked product (Suya meat). (Dineen et al.1999). A preservative effect is also induced by the surface drying that occurs to the extent of 30% total weight loss in hot smoked product. Antioxidant effect is produced by the phenolic deposite unto the product.

The microbial load in meat and meat product increases as long as growth conditions are favorable. The factor influencing microbial growth includes acidity, pH, temperature, water activity. Gaseous requirement, nutrient and competition of microbes for the nutrient. Controlling these factors implies maintaining long shelf life of meat and meat product but proper preservation of meat could be achieved by the combination of two or more preservation method which includes drying, salting and high temperature (Nester et al. 2001).

  

1.2                     AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

          This work is aimed at determining the microbial quality of suya meat sold in Enugu and has the following objectives:

1.  To isolate, characterize and identify microbial species associated with                                  suya meat  

2. To establish the public health implication of consumption of suya meat.

3. To offer useful information where necessary to the consuming public.
