Microbiological culture media in food testing laboratories

摘要

There are dozens of suppliers of microbiological culture media around the world. Only a few have long histories of supplying products of complexity and diversity. This history must be combined with a lasting commitment to the quality of products and the service, plus technical support that justify the trust of loyal users. In food manufacturing and service, product safety issues and premature spoilage can exact a great toll on manufacturers, suppliers, consumers and public health agencies if they are not managed effectively and proactively. A key element in proper management of food quality is judicious selection of the microbiological culture media used in laboratory testing.
