Abstract:

Swollen bag of vacuum packaged fresh-cut lotus slices indicates deteriorated quality of products. In order to
provide a useful guideline for solving this problem, the objectives of this study were to isolate microorganisms from the
swollen package of fresh-cut lotus roots and to identify the isolates by using VITEK 2 Compact system. Five strains were
isolated, including two bacteria, Enterobacter cloacae, Bacilllus cereus Frankland & Frankland, and three yeasts, Candida
guilliermondii, Candida famate and Candida iusitaniae.

Key words: swollen package of fresh-cut lotus root, isolation, identification, VITEK 2 Compact system
