Abstract
Consumption of contaminated food by pathogenic bacteria leads to illness known as food poisoning thus cause problem of public health. The present study was designed to assess the safety of tuna loins produced in Côte d’Ivoire through survey and bacteriological analysis. Isolation, enumeration and identification of hygienic indicators, contaminated indicators and pathogenic bacteria were made by using standard microbiological method on 471 tuna loins samples collected between September 2011 and September 2013. Results showed that the values of pH and humidity for tuna loins were between 6.06 and 69.35% respectively. Mean counts (cfu/g) of total aerobic microorganisms, total coliforms, fecal coliforms were 9.35x105; 1.08x103 and 4.39x102 respectively. Mean count for Escherichia coli was 1.87x102 cfu/g and that for anaerobic sulphite reducers was only 1.8x101 cfu/g. All the counts exceed the established values in microbiology criteria...
