Surimi is the one of the most important processed seafood having valuable and predominant protein content. Surimi is perishable, and when it rots, it has a strong odor and a bad taste. Degradation is due to enzymatic autolytic spoilage, fat oxidation, microbiological decay, or a mixture of these factors. The most stern seafood security affairs leading to potentially contaminated products relate to microorganisms, especially bacterial pathogens. For this purpose fish surimi product were collected for the microbiological evaluation, total plate count (TPC), total coliform, <em>Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Vibrio, </em></span>and <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em><span style="font-style: normal;">from seabird fisheries Karachi during January to June 2020. The examined samples ranges varied between TPC (1.0 to 7.8) cfu/gm, TC (11 to 460 MPN/gm), FC (11 to 210 MPN/gm), </span><em>E.coli </em><span style="font-style: normal;">(1.9 to 20), and </span><em>Staphylococcus aureus </em><span style="font-style: normal;">(24 to 182 cfu/gm). The mean of TPC (4.6±2.12 cfu/gm), TC (120.2±107.29 MPN/gm), FC (67.03±28.02 MPN/gm), </span><em>E.coli </em><span style="font-style: normal;">(9.1±5.94), </span><em>Staphylococcus aureus </em><span style="font-style: normal;">(85.2±65.43 cfu/gm) were measured in (N=20) fish surimi product sample. </span><em>Salmonella sp. </em><span style="font-style: normal;">and </span><em>Vibrio sp. </em><span style="font-style: normal;">were absent in all examined samples. </span></p> Waseem Ahmed Mangi Samina Parveen Hina Mansoor Copyright (c) 2023 2023-02-26 2023-02-26 2 1 1 7
