Ca and Mg Concentrations in Spices and Growth of Commonly Sporulated and Non-Sporulated Food-Borne Microorganisms According to Marketing Systems
Ca and Mg levels were determined in five spices according to marketing system (in bulk or commercialized in glass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers) and correlated with microbial growth of commonly sporulated (<i>Clostridium perfringens</i> and <i>Bacillus cereus</i...

Ca and Mg levels were determined in five spices according to marketing system (in bulk or commercialized in glass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers) and correlated with microbial growth of commonly sporulated (<i>Clostridium perfringens</i> and <i>Bacillus cereus</i>) and non-sporulated (<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>, psychrophilic and mesophilic bacteria, and yeasts and molds) food-borne pathogens present in them, when they were previously added to the microbial culture media. The basil had the highest mean Ca and Mg level and showed the highest microbial growth in the food-borne pathogenic microorganisms studied (<i>p</i> < 0.001). For Ca, the lowest levels were measured in cloves (<i>p</i> < 0.001), which had the lowest capacity for microbial contamination.
