From January to December 2022 a study was carried out in Cameroon to have the microbiological profile of honeys produced in the most productive areas, according to the transformational levels. For that, 150 samples were collected proportionally to the weight production of each are with respectively 90 samples in the bimodal forest, and 30 in the western highlands and Sudanoguinean agroecological zones. These samples were analysed via the plate count methods and the Analytical Profile Index (API 20E-BIOMERIEUX®) according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. The results obtained showed that all the samples were contaminated, 48.66 ± 33% of them having load level above the recommended ones. Risks factors associated with the contamination of honeys revealed a strong association (p<0.001) between the microbial agent and the technological level. A multi.. Read More»
