Abstract

This study investigated the mycoflora associated with cookies on sale in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State using standard microbiological methods. The proximate composition of the cookies were also estimated using standard biochemical methods. Mycoflora associated with the cookies includes; Aspergillus and Fusarium spp. Proximate analysis shows that the moisture content ranged from 1.66±0.08 to 5.37±0.01, crude fat ranged from 10.67±16.45±0.35, ash content ranged from 0.96±0.04 to 2.45±0.25, crude protein ranged from 5.49±0.21 to 6.85±0.03, crude fiber ranged from 1.32±0.04 to 3.20±0.01, while the carbohydrate ranged from 73.77±0.01 to 80.68±0.18. Adequate post production, handling and storage of products, especially during sale is important to reduce contamination of products.
