Assessment of the Microbial and Chemical Safety in the Street Food – A Review

Abstract

Improper personal hygiene can facilitate the transmission of pathogenic Bacteria found in the environment and on people’s hands via food. The present study is undertaken to investigate the microbiological quality and chemical residue present in the different street food samples in Karad, Maharashtra. For Microbial Screening of various street food samples, Enrichment spread plates, streak plate techniques, and Biochemical characterization will be performed. For chemical analysis, the chemical Residue present in street food will be analysed by spectroscopy. The Microbial and chemical safety of Street foods will be compared with WHO guidelines for food safety and other food regulatory Standards. FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) Strategies For the will be set on the Basis of collected data enhancement of Microbiological and chemical Safety of street-vended food.
