Method Description
The Enumeration of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Foods and Dietary Supplements by plating involves serial dilution of samples, which are then plated onto acidified MRS (de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe) agar and incubated at 35°C for 72 hours. After incubation, colonies are counted to quantify the viable lactic acid bacteria present. This traditional plating method is essential for assessing the microbial load, ensuring the quality and safety of food and dietary supplements. Accurate enumeration provides valuable information for quality control, allowing manufacturers to maintain product consistency and adhere to regulatory standards in the food and dietary supplement industries.
