dc.description.abstract |
Rice once cooked is perishable. In the present study we investigated cooked
rice spoilage of common rice varieties in Sri Lanka. The study was further
extended to compare the effect of clay and aluminium pots on the cooked rice
spoilage and to study the potential to put off cooked rice spoilage in the
traditionally used botanicals rampe (Pandans latifolia), curry leaves (Murraya
koenigii) and turmeric (Curcuma domestica). One Gram positive bacteria
was isolated and identified as Bacillus cereus. In cooked rice, the total count
of Gram positive bacteria increased with time while the total count of Gram
negative bacteria decreased. When inoculated separately to sterilized rice,
the Gram positive bacteria multiplied to a significantly greater number (p <
0.05) than did Gram negative bacteria. The total bacteria count of different
rice varieties was not significantly different from each other. Rumpe and curry
leaves reduced the total Gram positive bacteria count of rice significantly (p
< 0.05) while turmeric did not. The total Gram positive bacteria count of rice
cooked in aluminium pots was significantly lower (p < 0.05) compared to rice
cooked in clay pots. |
