Abstract
A microbiological study of bee honey sold in the Moscow markets with respect to pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria of the genus Salmonella, Shigella, total microbial contamination (KMAFAnM), bacteria of the E. coli group, mold, osmophilic yeast, S. aureus) was carried out. Additionally, organoleptic (appearance, aroma, taste) and physicochemical (determination of the mass fraction of sucrose, fructose and glucose, hydroxymethylfurfural, acidity, electrical conductivity, etc.) were conducted to exclude product falsification. Microbiological, organoleptic and physico-chemical studies were carried out in a testing laboratory that meets the requirements of GOST ISO / EC 17025-2019. The study presented 221 honey samples taken from 13 Moscow markets for the presence of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. According to the results of studies, Escherichia coli was found in 37 samples (16.7 %), E. coli bacteria (BHEC) in 18 samples (8 %), S.aureus, 25 KMAFAnM (53 samples (23.9 %)) 11.3 %), osmophilic yeast - 3 (1.3 %), a discrepancy in physical and chemical parameters was found in 45 (20.3 %) samples. Considered Russian and international requirements for the microbiological safety of honey in relation to pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. Analyzed the comparative characteristics of indicators and their values.
