Media for Monitoring Fungi in Foods
May 14 2010
Fungal spoilage of food remains an important economic issue, and at the same time the production of mycotoxins by some of the organisms responsible can also present a health challenge.
Monitoring and subsequent disposal of contaminated food therefore has an important role. Designed for this task, Lab M’s range of microbiological culture media includes both Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar and
Dermatophyte Test Medium.
Lab M’s Dermatophyte Test Medium aids differentiation between saprophytic and environmental fungi. Used alongside Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar, a selective medium for the enumeration of yeasts and moulds in foods, it is proving to be an important part of any programme aiming to comprehensively monitor food products and processing.
As part of Lab M’s extensive range of microbiological culture media, the company offers a wide variety of products that are used primarily in food industry applications.
