Abstract

Microbiological analysis of food is usually carried out to meet specific objectives such as to determine if the product conforms to standards or specifications or to investigate causes of spoilage. Unlike chemical analysis microbiological analysis involves the study of living things. The microbial load and flora depends on the handling processing and environmental conditions. Thus methods used have to take this and how the results can be interpreted into consideration. This paper discusses the implications of standards which have been set up to ensure the safety and quality of food the availability of some acceptable standard microbiological methods as well as recent advances made in the development of some rapid methods and the application of food microbiology and microbiological standards in ensuring the wholesomeness of food.
