EP 5.1.4 Microbial Limits in Preserved Ingredients Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

The EP 5.1.4 Microbial Limits in Preserved Ingredients laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab is governed by a range of international and national standards. These standards are developed and published by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), Turkish Standards Institution (TSE), and others.

ISO 11133:2014

This standard provides a general framework for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms in food, including preserved ingredients. It specifies the methods for the determination of microbial limits in food products, including enumeration by colony counting and identification using biochemical tests.

ASTM E2197-13

This standard outlines a method for the determination of the presence or absence of specific microorganisms in food, including preserved ingredients. It involves the use of enrichment broths to enhance the growth of microorganisms before enumeration by colony counting.

CEN ISO 6579:2013

This standard provides a general framework for the detection and identification of Salmonella spp. in food, including preserved ingredients. It specifies the methods for the determination of microbial limits in food products using enrichment broths and biochemical tests.

TSE EN ISO 16140-1:2004

This standard outlines a method for the detection and identification of microorganisms in food, including preserved ingredients. It involves the use of selective media to enhance the growth of specific microorganisms before enumeration by colony counting.

Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)

These organizations are responsible for developing and publishing standards that govern laboratory testing services, including EP 5.1.4 Microbial Limits in Preserved Ingredients testing. SDOs include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
