Microbiological Tests - Lactic Acid Bacteria Count

Acid-producing microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, particularly in many raw and processed food products. One of the most important groups of acid-producing bacteria for the food industry is lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria are actually considered a beneficial organism or a spoilage organism, depending on the type of food and its application. Lactic acid bacteria count is done to determine the general level of this bacterial group in a particular product or sample.

Lactic acid bacteria are a group of bacteria that play an important role in various fermentation processes. These bacteria ferment food carbohydrates and produce lactic acid as the main product of fermentation. It also contributes to the degradation of proteins and lipids and to the production of various alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters and sulfur compounds. Lactic acid bacteria play an important role especially in food, agriculture and clinical applications.

On the other hand, resistance to antibiotics threatens humans and animals around the world. To reduce this phenomenon, antibiotics are banned in livestock and aquaculture. Instead, lactic acid bacteria are used to improve animal growth and reproductive performance and control bacterial infections. These grow probiotics, non-antibiotics.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also microbiological tests - lactic acid bacteria counting services.
