Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Scope: This Indian Standard specifies a horizontal method for the enumeration of psychrotrophic microorganisms that are able to grow and form colonies on a solid agar culture medium after aerobic incubation at 6,5 °C. This document is applicable to: — products intended for human consumption, — products intended for animal feeding, — environmental samples in the area of food and feed production, handling, and — samples from the primary production stage.
2 Psychrotrophic microorganisms are able to grow at low temperatures. These microorganisms may cause decay of refrigerated foods (except gas-packaged foods) due to odour and taste deviations. Some psychrotrophic microorganisms present in raw milk are also capable of producing heat stable enzymes. When heated (pasteurization or sterilization) these enzymes are insufficiently inactivated, causing quality defects in the heated product (fat or protein degradation).
3 The standard includes scope, normative references, terms and definitions, principle, culture media & reagents, equipment and consumables, sampling, preparation of test sample, procedure, expression of result and test report.
