Abstract

Hibiscus sabdariffa drink (Zobo) was produced using different methods of production (boiling method, hot soaking method
and, maceration and pasteurization method) and different concentrations (1.5%, 5% and 8.5%) of Hibiscus sabdariffa calyx.
Hibiscus sabdariffa drink, thus produced was stored at ambient (28± 2oC) and refrigeration (4 ± 2oC) temperatures. pH,
titratable acidity, bacterial counts and fungal counts were determined every 48 h. There was an inverse relationship in the
pH and total titratable acidity of the samples. Zobo produced by maceration and pasteurization method had the best
microbiological quality, 1.1x102, 1.6x102 and 1.9x102. While Hibiscus sabdariffa drink produced by boiling method was
least in microbiological quality, 4.8x104, 6.3x104 and 7.1x104 for 1.5%, 5% and 8.5?lyx concentration respectively. At
refrigeration condition, growth was slowed down in the Hibiscus sabdariffa drink produced by the different methods.
