Özet
Deep-red ground pepper (Isot), a variety of red ground pepper is a special spices belonging to Sanliurfa and consumed both in Sanliurfa and other provinces of Turkey. The aim of this study was to determine the parasitic contamination levels of deep-red ground pepper produced at home. For this purpose, 82 samples of homemade Isotin Sanliurfa (Turkey) were collected from manufacturers. The occurrence of parasite eggs and protozoon oocysts in the samples was investigated by microscopic examination. Protozoon oocyst and helminth eggs were detected in four of the 82 Isot samples (4.87%). Three of these samples were identified as protozoan oocysts (3.68%) and one of these samples was identified as helminth eggs (1.21%) More hygienic measures should be taken on in order to prevent parasitic contaminations. © Medwell Journals, 2014.
