Dear all,
We are unfamiliar with the microbiological testing and need your advise on what is the correct sampling method for conducting either for shelf life test and thermophillic test.
For your information we are producing non-carbonated canned drinks by retorting the products.
So, for the incubation test for thermophillic, do we have to incubate the sample immediately after the production or can we wait for a few days before incubate the sample at 55 deg C for 5 days or both of this method can be use?
For the shelf life test, is it same as above, need to incubate the samples immediately or wait for few days?
Thank you.
