According to the Regulation on microbiological
safety of foodstuffs in trade all of the
samples were in order. No pathogenic microorganisms
were isolated. The total number
of microorganisms ranged from 0 to
1.0x103
.
Of the total number of analyzed samples of
pasta with supplements, which was 90, 18
were contaminated. The reason of microbiological
contamination was the presence
of coagulase-positive staphylococci and increased
total number of microorganisms in
samples of lasagne sheets. The industrial
production in relation to artisanal is reflected
in a number of advantages, such as improving
the qualities, less manual work and
higher hygienic safety of finished product.
