Abstract

The number of microbiological assays is increasing year after year, with great advances in easy-to-use methods that ensure rapid, accurate, sensitive and specific results, at a moderate cost. Automated and rapid microbiological methods allow manufacturers to bring out their products to the market more rapidly, with safety and preservation being guaranteed. There have been many developments in instrumentation that are allowing more rapid and efficient ways to obtain viable cell counts. ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), the most used immunological method, is completely automated and well established in many food companies. ATP bioluminiscence diagnostic tests are currently being used for food industry real-time monitoring of hygiene. Food applications of molecular biology are becoming more and more important. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is the most used method. In the future, biosensors will be in place in food processing systems. And in that field, research is also being done into biochips and microchips.
