- Environmental Science
Context:
- Assessing microbial contamination in commercially available soft drinks.
- Investigating the prevalence of Pseudomonas species in the food industry.
Purpose:
- To determine the contamination status of Pseudomonas in soft drinks manufactured and sold in Nanchang City.
- To identify and characterize Pseudomonas strains isolated from contaminated beverages.
Summary:
- A total of 416 soft drink specimens were analyzed, with 69 (16.59%) testing positive for Pseudomonas contamination.
- 111 Pseudomonas strains belonging to 16 different species were isolated and identified, including the novel species Pseudomonas halosensibilis.
Impact:
- Provides a scientific basis for establishing food safety control standards for beverages.
