| Sumario: | Jinicuil is the fruit of the Inga Jinicuil Schtdl tree, found in some regions of the state of Guerrero, mainly in those with humid climates; however, it is not well known or used in the region. For this reason, the present research sought to analyze and determine the presence of microorganisms that make up the native microbiota of the fruit, in order to provide information on the quality indicator organisms that are present in the total composition of this. To do this, microbiological analysis methods based on Mexican Official Standards were used, such as deep plate sowing, use of statistical techniques such as the most probable number method and observation of morphological characteristics. These methods allowed obtaining colonies and confirming the presence (or absence) of bacteria, molds and yeasts, as well as the prevalence of these microorganisms in the different parts of the fruit and the identification of some fungal genera present in it. The result obtained indicated the high prevalence of indicator microorganisms in the peel of the fruit, this due to the exposure it suffers in its maturation development, while in the pulp and seed the presence was considerably lower, which showed that the consumption of this fruit does not present any risk to health as long as it is not contaminated in any way by contact with the outside, because these parts are the edible ones of the jinicuil. The fungal genera Fusarium and Penicillium were identified by observing macro and microscopic characteristics that share the results obtained with the consulted bibliography on the most common genera found in the open air, because the presence and prevalence inside the fruit is lower than in the peel, it does not represent any inconvenience if there is no visible development in this part, which would show the production of mycotoxins at levels sufficient to be considered unfit for consumption. |
