New Developments in Real Time Testing for Microbial Levels
(Webinar length:  1 hr 7 min)

Overview:

Despite the development of rapid methods for both microbial identification and enumeration,
the microbiological testing of food still relies on standard techniques, such as agar plating to
monitor levels of microorganisms in foods. This is partly due to the scepticism surrounding
new methods, the difficulty in obtaining approval from accrediting bodies for alternative
methods, and the cost of rapid methods.

Tests to satisfy customers and regulatory bodies are often dictated to industry. The majority of
tests provide data to manage product quality and for this, there are no restrictions on the test
methods. For the food industry, it is the enumeration of microbial levels that is key and often
more important than the identification of contaminants.
There are some useful rapid methods that have found a place in the food industry. The rapid
tests for microbial enumeration are the most useful for managing food manufacturing plants
with results available within a timeframe that allows decisions to be made to avoid the
manufacture of unsatisfactory product. There have been some new developments in rapid
optical detection methods for food safety that will be addressed during this webinar.
