Aerobic Colony Count (Aerobic Bacteria Count)

Why is Aerobic Bacteria Count in Foods? Results, Evaluation ...

All foodstuffs are contaminated with microorganisms at all stages from harvest to consumer. Public health is endangered if the microorganism load found in food exceeds the limits. Therefore, microorganism load in foods is a parameter that should be controlled especially in terms of food safety.

Generally in aerobic bacteria counts; Bacterial numbers are determined in psychrophilic, mesophilic, thermophilic groups and aerobic / anaerobic conditions. The most common microbiological analysis is "Total Mesophilic Aerobic Colony Count". We can have an idea about the quality of the foods consumed with analysis such as aerobic bacteria count. For this reason, analysis processes such as aerobic colony count are carried out in order to have information about all the stages that the food produced goes through to consumption.

Total aerobic microorganism count is accepted as one of the quality parameters. With the total aerobic microorganism count, information about the conditions of the stages of food production, storage and transportation, the use of additives and shelf life can be obtained.
