Incidence Of Indoor Bacteria For Food Storage House

Microorganism which is including fungi, algae, bacteria virus and organic dust present in air can cause several allergic infections. To study was conducted in 5 different as of indoor food storage house in Bholad to analyze the composition and intensity of bacteria using petri-plate method. Bactria are present in order 1.8x102 to 5.3x106 .Bacteria identified in there are the most dominating species are, .Bacillus Pseudomonas and Ssaphyococcus. The present study investigates the incidence and diversity of airborne bacteria in food storage houses located in Bhalod, District Jalgaon (M.S.). Air samples were collected from five different storage facilities during rainy and winter seasons using the Petri-plate exposure method. A total of four dominant bacterial species were identified: Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus lactis, and Pseudomonas spp. The results revealed higher bacterial concentrations during the rainy season, with Bacillus subtilis (55–85%) and Staphylococcus aureus (56–59%) being most prevalent. Seasonal variations indicated that microbial load and spore concentration were relatively higher in the winter months. These airborne microorganisms, particularly endotoxin-producing species, pose potential occupational health risks, including respiratory impairments and allergic responses, to workers exposed to grain dust. The findings highlight the importance of regular microbial monitoring in food storage environments to minimize health hazards and ensure safe grain storage practices.
