Yeast and mold and coliform counts in yogurts
Undesirable levels of yeast and molds (>102
cfu.g-1) (SLSI, 1989) were not recorded in any
yogurt sample in the present study. Although it was
not significantly difference (p>0.05) yeast and mold
growth was slightly higher in rice yogurts than in
plain yogurts, probably due to contamination during
rice incorporation into yogurt. No coliform bacteria
were detected in any of the yogurt samples due to
employment of good hygienic practices during the
manufacturing of yogurt in this study.
