Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this study, the microbial quality of some white cheese (ricotta,\nhalloumi and homemade samples) sold in Benghazi markets was studied in December\n2019. Samples were analyzed for total colony count, total coliforms, Escherichia\ncoli<\/em>, and Staphylococcus aureus<\/em>. The\ntotal bacterial count ranged from 5.10 to 7.55 log10<\/sub>CFU\/g for all cheese types with a mean of 6.88 \u00b1 0.8024log10<\/sub>CFU\/g.  Total bacterial counts for ricotta cheese\nwere 5.10 to 7.46, and were 6.54 to 7.49 log10<\/sub>CFU\/g\nfor Halloumi cheese manufactured locally in Benghazi, and 5.61 to 7.55log10<\/sub>CFU\/g homemade white cheese. Total coliform count were 2.48to\n6.70 with a mean of 4.67\u00b1 1.4673 log10<\/sub>CFU\/g. Besides, total Staphylococcus<\/em> count was 1 to 4.82,witha mean of 3.68 \u00b1 1.055 log10<\/sub>CFU\/g. All cheese samples were highly contaminated with\nbacteria, as the microbial load was above the acceptable limits (5.70 to 6.18).\nThe studied species were classified as having poor quality. A high microbial\nload in cheese samples indicates a risk to the general health of consumers.\nThis proves the need to improve food hygiene standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
