Method Description
The Total Yeast and Mold (TYM) plating method involves assessing microbial contamination in various samples by cultivating viable microorganisms. After sample dilution, the diluted aliquots are spread onto selective agar plates. Incubation follows, allowing yeast and mold colonies to proliferate. Following incubation, colonies are counted, and results are expressed as colony-forming units (CFU) per unit volume.
