Abstract

Sugar cane juice is extensively consumed as a refreshment as well as energetic drink. Sugar cane juice has valuable properties and is regularly consumed along with lemon juice to hepatitis patients. Sugarcane juice suspension taken out 1 ml suspension of 1:10 dilution and transferred on the selective media aseptically for the isolation of the pathogen of Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by standard plate count method (SPC). The attempt was made to analyze the microbial quality of squeezed sugar cane juices sold in Chikhli market. The presence bacterial pathogen is alarming need to follow safety regulations regarding the public health and hygiene. It is suggested that proper food safety handling and storage for better hygienic and sanitary control must be practiced to avoid any contamination.
