dc.description.abstractIndia has been a major exporter of marine products. During the last year India exported seafood products worth about Rs.6000 crores. Occasionally India has been facing a number of quality problems for the export products including microbiological contamination. In recent years, especially after the implementation of European Union regulations, Indian seafood industry has made tremendous improvement both with regard to infrastructure facilities and product quality. This paper deals with the present status on the microbiological quality of the export products from India. This paper is based on the samples of frozen seafood collected and tested during the period of one year, 2001-02. The samples were collected from seafood processing units in and around Cochin and comprised of frozen shrimp, cuttlefish, squid, finfish, crab and octopus. The major defect was TPC above permitted level in 13% of samples and presence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in about 4% of samples. Salmonella and Vibrio cholerae, though isolated were present in only less than I % of samples. Listeria monocytogenes was totally absent. The results also agree with the major microbiological defects reported in seafood from India by importing countries.en_US
