ALIMENT LAB is able to determine the microbiological condition of the products, ensuring the health and suitability for consumption, and compliance with legal requirements. In the microbiology department of laboratory are conducted detection tests of pathogens and microorganisms in food spoilage and measurements of general health indicators. For this purpose commonly nutrient substrates are used in conjunction with confirmatory tests (biochemical and / or serological).
More particularly, the microbiological analysis of food includes:
Detection and identification of pathogenic microorganisms (responsible microorganisms for foodborne diseases) such as:
- Listeria monocytogenes
- Salmonella spp.
- Vibrio spp.
- Clostridium perfringens
- Bacillus cereus
- Campylobacter spp.
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Count microorganisms in food spoilage or are general health indicators such as:
- Total Aerobic Bacteria
- lactic acid bacteria
- coliforms
- Enterobacteriaceae
- Escherichia coli
- Pseudomonas spp.
- Yeasts and fungi
