INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Milk is considered as nature's most complete food because of its unique
composition. It’s fairly suitable proportion of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and
minerals and other substances enhance and supplement the nutrient in poor quality foods.
However, the Philippine dairy industry remains in its infancy stage despite the effort of
the government and private sectors to uplift the local milk production. It comprises only
2% of the total domestic supply. Thus to meet the local demand, the dairy industry
heavily relies on importation. The consumption also varies according to the form of the
product. By volume, milk powder accounted for 41% of the importation. These Imported
dairy products are often sold as reprocessed and repacked goods. Over the year, milk
consumption has been increasing. Based on food consumption surveys of the Food and
Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), per capita milk consumption averaged 8.7 kg/year
for the period of 1958-1969. This figure increased to 12.6 kg in 1978 and 16.0 kg in
1982(PCARRD, 1991).
Powdered milk is also a common item in UN food aid supplies, fallout shelters,
warehouses, and wherever fresh milk is not a viable option. It is widely used in many
developing countries because of reduced transport and storage costs (reduced bulk and
weight, no refrigerated vehicles). As with other dry foods, it is considered nonperishable,
And is favored by survivalists, hikers, and others require nonperishable, easy-to-prepare
food (Anonymous, 2012).

Perhaps the most difficult problem in handling and processing dairy products is
their highly perishable nature. There have been a number of food borne illnesses resulting
from the ingestion of dairy products made with milk that was not properly pasteurized or
was poorly handled causing post-processing contamination
. In order to avoid excessive
spoilage, many dairy products were developed as a result of attempts to prolong storage
life. These include Milk powder, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cheeses. All have
prolonged storage life but still subject to contamination (Anonymous, 2011). Further,
Brock, 1978 stated that Milk contains relative few bacteria when it leaves the udder of a
healthy cow.Since milk is such a good growth medium, it is better to sterilize or
pasteurize before drinking, because such bacteria rapidly multiply. Though bacteria can
be retarded or killed during pasteurization, consumers should be aware of contacting
disease brought by improper food processing that leads to microbial contamination that
cause spoilage, unpleasant odors and tastes and a food poisoning outbreak in a
community due to ingestion of the bacteria and or their toxins present in the
food(Quinn,1994).

Importance of the Study
Powdered milk is a convenient form of nutritious milk that doesn't require
refrigeration. It is easily reconstituted and also an easily transported and stored dairy
ingredient. It is an economical source of dairy solids. They are required for the
manufacture of infant formulae and recipes for baked goods where adding liquid would
render the product too thin. Powdered milk is also widely used in various sweet and
certain products such as milk candy, chocolates, caramel candy, pulvoron, pastillas,
snacks, soup, ice-cream, ice crumble toppings, coffee creamer, sauces and etc.
(Anonymous, 2011).
Downes
et al., 2001 stated that powdered milk must be considered sensitive
products from a public health aspect because they are often consumed after reconstitution
without additional heating. It is well established that dried milk can be a source of
foodbourne illness because of contamination. Probably the two most significant sources
of contamination are the dairy utensils or the milk-contact surfaces. Unaseptic packaging
from workers hands, Equipments such as fillers used in handling and processing as well
as storage of these products may also serves as possible source of contamination and
pathogen. Normally the packaging material contributes very little to the total microbial
load in the finished product. If the dairy utensils or the milk-contact surfaces are
inadequately cleaned, sanitized and dried, bacteria may develop in large number. Under
very poor conditions these sources may increase the bacterial content of milk by millions
per millilitre. Undesirable bacteria from these sources include coliform bacteria, lactic
Streptococci, and thermodurics, those which survives pasteurization. These bacteria grow

well in milk hence endanger its keeping quality (Frazier and Westhoff, 1988).
It is therefore important to determine the bacterial load of the product to evaluate
the safetiness of the food for the consumer.
Objectives of the Study
The study was conducted to:
1. determine the microbial load in repacked milk powder, and
2. determine presence of coliform organism.
Place and Time of the Study
Fifteen samples were collected from three different stalls and two grocery stores
selling repacked milk powder at Baguio City Public Market and were brought to the
Microbiology Laboratory Room, College of Veterinary Medicine, Benguet State
University, La Trinidad, and Benguet for processing from August 2011 to March 2012.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Microorganisms are associated with most of the food we eat. These
microorganisms can cause spoilage and lend up unpleasant odours and flavours to the
milk. Also, milk can harbour pathogenic microorganism which produces disease if
microbial populations are permitted to proliferate extensively. Certain microorganism
produces toxic substances which results in food poisoning outbreak (McCuen
et al.,
1988).
Davis, 1962 reported that Bacterial standards for milk varies from place to place,
some areas require that milk must contain not over 100,000 bacteria per ml, however,
United State public health suggested a certain regulation of not over 200,000 bacteria per
ml. Federal regulation defined in the pasteurized milk ordinance mandate that milk
standard plate count should not be greater than or equal to 10 4 .While in the Philippines,
the Standard Microbial Plate Counts shall not exceed 50,000 cfu/ml and coliform count
should be less than or equal to ten cfu/ml (Anonymous,2007).
Wholesome, high quality milk and hygienic control of milk is indeed necessary,
these involves many carefully controlled steps, regardless of whether the end result is
filled milk or powdered milk. These hygienic controls involves such matter as clean
milking operation and equipment, hygienic processing of the milk and proper storage and
delivery to the end consumer. The genera comprising the coliform bacteria are principally
E.coli, Enterobacter and
klebsiella. Test for this bacteria are designed to measures the
quality of the procedures for the handling and processing of the milk after the

pasteurization process (McCuen, 1988).
Coliforms are facultative anaerobes with an optimum growth at 37° C. Coliforms
are indicator organisms; they are closely associated with the presence of pathogens but
not necessarily pathogenic themselves. They also can cause rapid spoilage of milk
because they are able to ferment lactose with the production of acid and gas, and are able
to degrade milk proteins. Mabesa
et al., 1989 as cited by Dulay, 2008 reported that
Coliform group of microorganism has been used as index of the sanitary quality of foods
and sometimes as an indicator of sanitary conditions existing in environment or kitchen
during handling and processing.Further, Enumeration of these organisms in heat
pasteurized foods can be used to assess the adequacy of heating process designed to
inactivate bacteria and in assessment of overall quality of food and hygienic conditions
present during food processing (Downes
et al., 2011).
Escherichia coli is a natural inhabitant of the large intestine and small intestine of
all mammals(Quinn
et al.,1994).It causes coliform mastitis in cow and sow In dairy
cows, the source of infection is faecal contamination of the skin of the mammary gland
and relaxation of the teat sphincter following milking increases vulnerability to infection.
In man it produces fatal intestinal infections in infants.
E.coli is excreted in the faeces and
can survive in faecal particles, dust and water for week or months. Because of its
prominence as a normal intestinal bacterium in most mammals, most strains of
E.coli are
easy to detect in food and water and currently one of the indicator bacteria to monitor in
water, foods and dairy products (Nester, 2004).

Enterobacteraerogenes is very common normal faecal flora and can be isolated
from wound. It causes coliform mastitis in cattle and occasionally part of the mastitis-
detritus-agalactia (MMA) syndrome in sows (Quinn
et al., 1994).
Klebsiellapneumoniae is normally found in the normal flora of the mouth, skin
and intestine. It is present in the environment, vegetation, soil and in faeces. It also causes
urinary tract and wound infection, otitis, meningitis and pneumonia in man (Hyde, 1989).
Proteus mirabilis is found in faeces of mammals and environment. It causes
urinary tract infections in man, dogs and horses. Also associated with otitis externa in
dogs and diarrhoea in young mink and lambs, calves, goats and pups (Hyde, 1989).

The media were prepared based on the manufacture’s specification(Appendix D).
Experimental Phase:
Six grams of each sample in powdered form was reconstituted in 10millilitres
(ml) phosphate buffered- distilled water at PH of 7.2. Using a pipette, one ml of the
reconstituted milk powder was poured in Trypticase Soy Broth that served as cultivation
medium for isolating bacteria and was incubated for 24 hours at 37oC.
Standard Plate Count (Figure No.2)
A series of dilution was made on a five sterile test tubes containing nine ml of
distilled water as diluents. One ml from the incubated sample in TSB was delivered to
test tube one containing nine ml of sterile distilled water thereby giving a dilution of
1:100.It was mixed by swirling. Another one ml from test tube one was pipetted and
delivered to test tube two containing nine ml distilled water giving a dilution of 1,000.It
was then mixed by swirling. From test tube two, one ml was transferred to test tube three
containing nine ml of distilled water giving a 1:10,000 dilutions. The same procedure was
repeated to test tube four and five with a dilution of 1:100, 000, and 1:1,000,000
respectively.0.1 ml from each test tube was delivered to a sterile plate containing 20ml of
melted nutrient agar tempered at 43-45 0C. It was gently swirled to mix and then allowed
to cool and solidify. It was placed in an upside down position inside the incubator at 37c
for 24 hours. The plate was examined for visible microbial growth. Counts were made
from each plate using a Quebec colony counter. The average count from all plates were
calculated and recorded to obtain the microbial count per ml of sample.

Data Gathered
The Data gathered were the following:
1. Source of samples: Milk powder samples were taken from different stalls selling
Repacked Milk Powder at Baguio city public market (Figure no.1)
2. Mean Number of Bacteria Per ml of the Sample. This was computed by
multiplying the colonies counted on each individual plate by their
corresponding dilutions. The mean total number of the colonies will be
divided by the number of plate used where the count will be made.
3. Colony Characteristic of Coliform Bacteria. The growth of coliform bacteria was
observed according to their characteristics appearance on XLD (Appendix
A).
4. Biochemical Tests. These were based on their reaction in MR, VP, and Indole
And Citrate (Appendix A).
5. Identity of coliform organism. This was based on the colony characteristics on
XLD agar, gram staining reaction and biochemical test (Appendix B).

It shows that the Mean Number of bacteria per ml of the sample ranged from
1.6 x 107 to 9.3 x107.This indicates that all the samples are contaminated and have
exceeded the maximum count of United State Public Health Services which is 200,000
per ml (Davis,1962) and the Philippines standard which is 50,000 cfu/ml of milk sample
(Anonymous, 2007).
The very high load of Microorganism in the sample can be attributed to the
improper repacking and storage of the product .It was observed that the samples were not
properly sealed and the packaging materials were dusty and too vague. Samples were
even stored in places accessible to pest infestation such as mice and fliesand arefreely
exposed to air contaminants and passersby. Downes, 2011, reported that improper
processing and unaseptic packaging lead to contamination. Further, Frazier and
Westhoff, 1988 stated that very poor condition of the environment may increase bacterial
count of milk by millions per ml.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Fifteen samples were collected from randomly selected stalls and grocery stores
selling repacked milk powder at Baguio City Public Market to determine the microbial
load and the presence of coliform organism in each sample. Each sample were
reconstituted in phosphate buffer and then inoculated to TSB. One ml of each sample
from TSB was inoculated to nutrient agar for standard plate count. Further, loopful of
sample from TSB were inoculated to XLD. Growth suggestive of coliform was streaked
to TSI agar. Then subjected to Gram staining and Biochemical tests.
Results showed that the isolated coliform and their frequency were:
Enterobacteraerogenes, 37%;
Escherichia coli, 47%;
Klebsiellapneumoniae, 47% and
Proteus mirabilis,13%.And the mean number of microorganism per ml of sample ranged
from 1.6x107-9.3x107.
It is concluded therefore that the repacked milk powder samples are heavily
contaminated with faecal coliform.
It is recommended that repacked powdered milk should be studied further on
the presence of Gram positive bacteria, molds, yeast, most especially
Staphylococcus
Sppand
Salmonella where poisoning have been recorded.

Appendix C
Gram Staining, TSI and Biochemical Test Performed
A. Gram staining
This is the differential colouring solution that distinguishes gram negative bacteria
from gram positive organisms.
Procedure:
1. Put a little amount of the colony in a dry and clean glass slide.
2. Place a small drop of distilled water at the centre of the slide and spread it evenly using
a sterile wire loop.
3. Air dry and heat fix on a flame and cool.

4. Flood with crystal violet for 2 minute then wash with running water.
5. Drop grams iodine and let it stand for 1 minute and then rinse with running water.
6. Apply grams acetone decolourizer for 10 seconds then rinse.
7. Counter stain with safranin for 30 seconds and then rinse
8. Dry the stained smear and examine under microscope.
B.Tripple sugar iron test
Isolated colony is touched with an inoculating needle. A tube of TSI agar is stab
inoculated in the middle of the agar to within 5mm from the bottom of the tube. On the
withdrawal of the straight wire, the entire slant is streaked (right to the top) the tubes are
incubated at 37 for 16 hours.
30
C.INDOLE TEST
A loopful of the test organism will be inoculated into Indole broth for 24
hours.Ehrlich’s reagent will be added. A positive result is indicated by a Pink/Red layer
forming on top of the liquid.
D.METHYL RED TEST
Methyl broth will be inoculated with pure culture from the plate and incubated for
24-48 hour at 37 0C.Five drops of Methyl Red Indicator will be added to the broth after
incubation. A change in colour from yellow to red indicates a positive result.

Public Market / Florence G. Puctiyao. 2012
E.VOGUES-PROSKAUER TEST
Vogues-proskauer broth will be inoculated with pure culture from the plate and
will be incubated at 37 OC for 48 hours. After incubation, 0.6ml of 5%Naphtol in absolute
ethyl alcohol 0.2ml of 40% potassium hydroxide containing 2% creatine will be added.
Shake well and keep the broth undisturbed for three to ten minutes. A positive result will
appear as bright red to orange in colour.
F.CITRATE UTILIZATION TEST
A slant of Simmon’s Citrate Agar is streaked with a pure culture stock and
incubated for 24 to 48 hours at 37c.The PH indicator Bromothymol Blue, changes the
slant from green to blue if the growth and utilization occurs. It is negative if the medium
31
remains green and is positive if it turns blue.
