摘要：This study reports on seventy sev en samples of instant beverages which were randomly sampled and analyzed for the aerobic platecounts and for the presence of some selected pathogens. With the exception of four samples, all other samples were below the maximum permissible levels set by the Ghana Standards Authority for aerobic plate counts for dried products requiring reconstitution. Pathogens such as E. coliand Salmonellawere not detected in any of the samples analyzed. Yeasts and moulds were also not present in samples analyzed. All the samples can be classed as Level 1 under the Australian guidelines for the microbiological examination of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods with Aerobic Plate Counts levels of <104cfu/g being classed as satisfactory.
