This test method is a rapid method used for the detection and enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus. This method employs 3M™ Petrifilm™ Staph Express Count Plates, which contain a chromogenic medium that allows presumptive identification of S. aureus based on colony color and morphology.
This test method is outlined in the USDA/FSIS Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook as a procedure for measuring pH in meat samples using a pH meter.
This test method is an official method developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the determination of moisture content in meat and poultry products. This gravimetric method is used in regulatory and quality control laboratories to ensure product labeling accuracy and compliance with standards. A known weight of sample is dried in an… Continue reading Moisture – 125°C
This test method is a vacuum‑oven loss‑on‑drying method used to determine moisture and total solids in flour by drying a weighed sample at 98–100°C under reduced pressure until constant weight.
This test method is a standardized method for the analysis of meat samples for mineral and trace element analysis using microwave-assisted acid digestion. This process effectively breaks down the complex organic matrix of meat, converting it into a clear solution suitable for instrumental analysis. This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium,… Continue reading Minerals [Meat]
This test method is a standardized procedure for the isolation and enumeration of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in food samples. LAB are important microorganisms in food fermentation, spoilage, and safety assessments. This method is commonly used for testing dairy, meat, fermented products, and other foods where LAB are either beneficial or indicators of microbial activity.
This test method is a rapid molecular detection method validated for the qualitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food and environmental samples. This method was evaluated and approved under the AOAC Performance Tested Methods program, confirming its reliability and equivalence to reference culture-based methods.
This test method is a validated rapid detection method for the qualitative identification of Listeria species, including but not limited to Listeria monocytogenes, in food and environmental samples. It is approved through the AOAC Performance Tested Methods (PTM) program, ensuring it meets rigorous criteria for sensitivity, specificity, and reliability when compared to traditional reference methods.
This test method determines the color of oils and other transparent liquids by comparing samples to calibrated Lovibond® or Gardner liquid standards, providing a standardized visual evaluation of red/yellow (RYBN) tint and overall Gardner color to ensure consistent color grading across batches.
