Squid is one of the most popular seafood among the Terengganu’s people. However, the<br />

microbiological data of this product is still limited. Therefore, in this study the<br />

enumeration of the bacteria in fresh and deep fried squid will be determined using Total<br />

Plate Count (TPC), Most Probable Number (MPN), and selected agar such as Eosin<br />

Methylene-Blue Agar (EMB) and Baird-Parker Agar (BPA). The deep fried technique will<br />

be evaluated through spiking method to see the effectiveness of cooking. The<br />

microbiological status in deep fried squid should be less than the fresh squid due to the<br />

heat process applied that can kill the bacteria. The reduction of bacteria count towards<br />

frying time shows the effectiveness of cooking technique. The microbiological load of<br />

fresh and deep fried squid will be determined the hygiene status of food that contribute<br />

to the foodborne diseases.<br />
