Abstract
Coliforms, aerobic mesophilic spore formers, yeasts, and moulds commonly occur in spices.
Samples ofcardamon, coriander, mustard, black pepper, ginger (dry), red chillies, fennel, chilly powder,
cumin, turmeric, bishops weed, garlic, onion (dehYdrated), and fenugreek obtained from some of the
spice markets were examined. Co1iforms (o-2400!g) belonged to Eschen'a coli, Aerobacter
aerogelU?S, and intermediate types. Aerobic mesophilic spore formers related to Bacillus subtilis,
Raell/us pOIYIIlYXa, Bacillus panfothaJItfclIS, Raell/us cereus, and Bacillus lichim1ormis. Some of the yeast
encountered were of the Candida type. Among moulds, Penfcilh"ulll, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus
ory:zae, and Trichoderma were present. The role of these organisms in spoilage has been indicated.
