Food Protection Trends - November 2008 - 885
Industry Products The enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in food samples is critical to monitoring product quality throughout the manufacturing process, identifying risks and assessing the effectiveness of sanitation measures. TEMPO STA delivers results within 24 hours instead of up to 48 hours for the ISO reference methods and up to 4 days for the BAM method. No confirmation step is needed, contrary to most of the other methods. Some lactic acid bacteria are used in the production of fermented foods such as yogurt. However, certain species can cause spoilage and degrade the organoleptic quality of a product (its taste, color, texture and/or smell). Therefore, the level of lactic acid bacteria in a product has an important role in determining its shelf life. TEMPO LAB provides lactic acid bacteria counts within 40–48 hours, compared to 3 days for the reference methods, which also require time-consuming plating techniques. The fully automated TEMPO system offers ease of use and fast turnaround time for accurate and standardized results. TEMPO STA and TEMPO LAB complete the system’s menu covering most quality indicator testing needs: TEMPO TVC (total viable count), TEMPO EC (Escherichia coli), TEMPO TC (total coliforms), TEMPO CC (coliforms count) and TEMPO EB (Enterobacteriaceae). bioMérieux 314.731.8500 Hazelwood, MO www.biomerieux-usa.com Romer Labs® Introduces Rapid and Chromatographic Analytical Methods for Melamine omer Labs® highlights its expertise in food- and feed safety analysis and proudly introduces new validations for its AgraQuant® Melamine ELISA. The test kit has been proven to be a reliable screening method for melamine in feed and dairy products, including pet food, milk and milk-powder. Furthermore the company launched a straight forward chromatographic method for the analysis of melamine using a MycoSep® 224 for sample purification. The method has been validated for dry and wet petfood commodities, glutens, milk powder, and baby formulas. Romer Labs® full analytical service laboratories in the US, Singapore and Austria offer melamine testing for highly demanding customers on a global scale. Melamine is an organic base with the chemical formula C3H6N6. Most industrial manufacturers use urea to produce the substance. Melamine is used as a raw material for a series of products, including glues, colorants, housewares and because of its high nitrogen content, fertilizers. The use of melamine in food production is banned in most countries. Melamine by itself is nontoxic in low doses, but when combined with cyanuric acid it can cause fatal kidney stones. Romer Labs Inc. 636.583.8600 Union, MO www.romerlabs.com R bioMérieux bioMérieux’s Automated TEMPO® Range Now Covers the Major Quality Indicators with Two New Kits for the Enumeration of Staphylococcus and Lactic Acid Bacteria ioMérieux has enhanced its line of food quality solutions with the launch of two new TEMPO® kits: TEMPO STA, for the enumeration of coagulase-positive staphylococci (S. aureus) and TEMPO LAB, for the enumeration of Lactic Acid Bacteria. “With our expanded TEMPO menu, bioMérieux now covers all of the major quality indicators,” stated Alexandre Mérieux, bioMérieux corporate vice president, industrial microbiology. “The automated TEMPO system meets the needs of our customers in the food industry with a cost-effective solution that is less time-consuming and labor-intensive than traditional methods.” Growth of Staphylococcus aureus in food products is a public health risk since certain strains produce enterotoxins, which if ingested can cause staphylococcal food poisoning. b Be sure to mention, “I read about it in Food Protection Trends”!
