dc.description.abstractThe total plate count (TPC) is considered to be an important index to determine the hygenic quality of the product. Different parameters that influence the recovery of micro-organisms during bacterial enumeration of frozen seafoods were evaluated. The parameters studied were plating technique, incubation temperature, incubation period and the diluent. The results were statistically analyzed and it was found that spread plate technique yielded higher bacterial count than pour plate technique. An incubation temperature of 30degree celcius was found to facilitate greater bacterial recovery than conventional 37degree celcius. Comparing incubation periods of 24, 48, 72 and 96 h it was found that an incubation period of 48 h was sufficient for frozen marine products.en_US
