 Need of Microorganism testing in food

Microbiological testing of food is the detection of microorganisms in food. Microorganisms play a significant role in our environment, as do all humans, animals and plants, and are potentially the largest volume of living organisms on our planet. 

There is a clear link between microorganisms and diseases, since these dangerous living organisms are accountable for many lives of diseases.

Enumeration of Microorganism

Microorganisms can be present in different foods and drinks and can be dangerous when they approach a human body. Any of these microorganisms may appear to be vulnerable to one or even more classes of infections. 

 There are many methods for detecting and enumerating microorganisms in food. The approach used depends on the intent of the test. Direct Enumeration, Viable Enumeration, Metabolic Activity Measurement and Constituents Measurement are one of the identifying techniques of microorganism in food.

Pathogen Testing

Food contaminated with microorganisms like bacteria, microbes, moulds and viruses, can present a threat to the consumer. In order to prevent pathogenic microorganisms, it is necessary to track typical spoilage organisms in order to minimize losses during processing.

 

Immunologically related approaches are available in the SFTS microbiology food research services in Chennai for the identification of pathogenic bacteria.
