ISO 11289 Yeast and Mold Profiling in Aquaculture Products
The ISO standard ISO 11289 provides a robust framework for quantifying yeast and mold content in food products, including aquaculture products. This service specializes in the analysis of raw materials, intermediate products, and final products used in seafood and aquaculture industries to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
Understanding the microbial composition is crucial in preventing spoilage and ensuring product stability. Yeast and mold can significantly impact shelf life and consumer health. This service ensures accurate quantification of yeast and mold species, which helps in identifying potential sources of contamination and implementing effective control measures.
The testing process involves several steps: sample collection, preservation, homogenization, and then the application of ISO 11289 methods for enumeration and identification. The results provide detailed profiles of yeast and mold populations present in the aquaculture products, which are essential for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
The service is particularly valuable in monitoring production processes to maintain consistent product quality throughout the supply chain. It aids in early detection of issues that could lead to recalls or other disruptions. The insights gained from this testing can also inform process improvements aimed at enhancing food safety and quality.
Our expertise lies not only in executing these tests but also in interpreting results within the context of broader industry standards and best practices. This enables clients to make informed decisions about their operations, ensuring they meet or exceed regulatory requirements and market expectations.
