LABTEK Services provide various products and services to support every need of your dairy industry microbiology testing process. We know that microbes are present everywhere around us. They may be harmless or may be a reason for contamination or health related problems. They may spoil our food, infrastructure or may contaminate the sterile environment. Microbiology testing is a very crucial step for maintaining quality and safety of raw material and products in the dairy industry.
For this challenge LABTEK Services provide high quality environment monitoring facilities, various lab supplies to check the presence of microbes for rapid and reliable results.
WHY MICROBE TESTING IS IMPORTANT?
Product testing remains an important step in every food manufacturing system. Microbes can be easily grown in raw materials like milk because they provide a favorable environment for growth of bacteria, yeast and mold. So regular sampling of microbes is very important. We can use biochemical, biological or molecular methods for detection of microbes in air, food, and clinical samples.
IDENTIFICATION OF MICROBES
For the management of food quality and sterility identification and characterization of microbes sometimes it becomes very important to know about the source of microorganisms. Some microbes can survive in various adverse conditions, so we can use some microbiology techniques to identify the source. Some factors like the increase of air humidity may be a cause of increase of air borne microorganism numbers.
Microbes and Shelf life of product
Shelf life of food is very important in the food, dairy industry. So it becomes the responsibility of manufacturer that they give idea about the self-life of product. So different test are performed in different conditions of presence of related organism.
Examples of microbes may be present as contaminants.
E.coli
Candida
Aspergillus species
Or maybe yeast, mold, parasites etc.
We are happy to provide various laboratory supplies in the UK for your testing needs.
We offer various testing facilities like
- Air quality testing
- Water quality testing
- Mold and bacteria testing
- Pathogen sample testing
- Pathogen surface testing
How we test air quality
Air present in the processing area may contaminate our food and affect their quality. Dairy products like butter, buttermilk, curd, fermented milk products are more susceptible for contamination by air borne microbes. So controlling the quality of air in cleanrooms, filling halls play an important role in contamination control. We provide settle plates for microbial air monitoring.
Why are these settle plates the best?
- Ready to use
- Triple wrapped irradiated
- Shelf life for 20 weeks
- Contain medium for isolation of yeast and fungi
