    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This research was carried out for the isolation and identification of fungal spoilage organisms in foods. The foods studied are, packaged and unpackaged powdered milk, corn flour and soybean flour. These samples were bought from Enugu main market (Ogbete) using sterile nylon bags for each samples and taken to the laboratory for analysis. One gram of each sample was put into nine (9) ml of sterile water, tenfold dilution was carried out upto the fithth  srerile test tubes to reduce microbial loa ... Continue reading---

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Food products are a rich nutrient source that can attract both bacterial and fungal colonizers. Pitt et al (2009). As such, the food product can be regarded as an ecological resource. Colonization with a number of food-borne microorganisms is beneficial with respect to nutritional value and prolonged storage of the food product, which is known as food fermentation in other case. After successful colonization of the product, its nutritional properties are altered. Samson et al. (2004).When the nu ... Continue reading---
