Food Microbiological Detection

Food is a vital component of the body's life-sustaining and nutritional needs, and its importance cannot be overstated. Food testing is an important test for people to control the quality of food nowadays. The variety of foods available today has led to an increase in the number and types of microorganisms attached to food. The types of microorganisms in different types of food are also very different, which makes food testing difficult.

Our Solution

Lifeasible uses physiological and biochemical techniques, molecular biology, immunological techniques, mass spectrometry, and microbiological techniques to detect microorganisms in food and selects the most appropriate detection techniques by taking into account the specific food samples of their subjects.

• Detection of pathogenic bacteria in food that may impact human health, etc., mainly includes Salmonella, aflatoxin, etc.
• Detection of pathogenic microorganisms that may be present in food.
• Detection of harmful microorganisms produced during the manufacturing and processing of their food.

Our Platform

Physiological and biochemical technology

Physiological biochemical techniques as a more important food microbiological detection method, physiological biochemical techniques can show strong applicability in determining the metabolites of the bacteria, but also accurately reflect the status and number of strains of bacteria.

• ATP bioluminescence method
• Trace sublimation method

Molecular biology techniques

Molecular biology technology is mainly based on the genetic status of the detection, and then accurately determines the specific species and the number of microorganisms. The application of this technique is relatively difficult, but it has shown strong applicability in the identification of difficult-to-culture microorganisms, and there are more specific detection methods.

• PCR
• Real-time fluorescence PCR
• Multiplex PCR
• Gene microarray
• Nucleic acid probes
• High throughput sequencing

Immunological detection technologies

Immunological techniques are also commonly used in the analysis of food microorganisms, mainly to analyze the antigen-antibody specific reactions of microorganisms present in food, and to determine the type and number of microorganisms present in food by detecting the specific gene expression products of microorganisms.

• Immunomagnetic microsphere assay
• Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Mass spectrometry

Mass spectrometry is widely used to analyze the genes of microorganisms in food with the help of proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics, and to determine the content of microorganisms in food.

• GC-MS
• MALDI-TOF MS
• ESI-MS
• Py-MAB-MS

Microbiology detection techniques

Microbiological detection is a relatively traditional food microbiological detection technique, which is mainly processed by direct microscopic observation or standard plate counting method and can achieve effective detection of microorganisms in samples, clarify their general quantity, and determine the microbial content of food.

• Microscopic detection method
• Plate culture method

Other methods

• Flow cytometry
• Near-infrared spectroscopy

Key Advantages

• Wide range of applications, detection of many types of food microorganisms, whether beneficial microorganisms or harmful microorganisms present in food, can be detected and analyzed in detail.
• Our testing process has a reasonable system layout and a perfect testing mechanism, with a system to guarantee the testing norms.
• Our timely innovation and scientific application of detection technology coincide with the current demand for high standard detection of food microorganisms, allowing effective scientific analysis of the detected microorganisms.
