    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The micro-organism, associated with spoilage of tomatoes shows that tomato contain large amount of water which makes them more susceptible to spoilage by the action of various micro-organism. Out of  the (3) three sources of samples used in the assessment revealed that Bacillus species identified in the spoiled sample are  the major causes of canned spoilage while the fungi isolates are peniucillum species etc which revealed by the assessment are also the cause of  tomato spoilage. In this  ... Continue reading---

         

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]INTRODUCTIONCanned tomatoes are tomatoes usually peeled that are sealed into a canned after having been processed by heat.This product are considered important world wide (Robinso, et al, 1994).
