Question

What are the procedures neede to achieve microbiology?

Answer 1

Answer:

First decision to make during the microbiological testing of foods is:

a. A surface sample.

b. A homogenized sample of the food.

Although most food samples will be homogenized, in some foods such as whole meat cuts where the interior is essentially sterile, a surface sample may be more significant because homogenization will include portions of food that contain no MO and dilute results.

Other applications where surface measurements are important in MO testing include food contact surfaces in a plant.
