Laboratory of Microbiological food analysis

Laboratory of food microbiology development research, teaching and extension activities, mainly related to the microbiological analysis of food and food ingredients for research purposes. We have a wide selection of international and national standardized techniques (AOAC, NTC, PLACA INVIMA) for the determination of pathogenic microorganisms and counting of indicator microorganisms in various matrices.

  • Bactericidal Activity (OAC).
  • Detection of Escherichia coli (RapID ONE).
  • Detection of Salmonella (INVIMA N.18 Salmonella Detection).
  • Determination of Foreign Matter in Panela and Pollen (NTC 1311).
  • Determination of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Plate Count INVIMA N.17).
  • Lyophilization: Usage per Hour (Instrumental Measurement).
  • MPN of Total and Fecal Coliforms (MPN INVIMA N.13 and N.14).
  • MPN of Total Coliforms (MPN INVIMA N.13).
  • Commercial Sterility Test (Plate Count INVIMA N.21).
  • Count of Bacillus cereus (Plate Count INVIMA N.9).
  • Count of Lactic Acid Bacteria (ICONTEC NTC 5034).
  • Total Coliform Count (APHA).
  • Count of Strict and Facultative Aerobic Spores (Plate Count INVIMA N.5).
  • Count of Strict and Facultative Anaerobic Spores (Plate Count INVIMA N.6).
