Accelerated detection of post‐heat‐treatment contamination in pasteurized double cream

Abstract
A technique is described which enables a semi‐quantitative estimation of the extent of post‐heat‐treatment contamination of pasteurized double cream within 2 days. The method involves preincubation of the cream sample at 21° C for 25 h, after which Gram‐negative psychrotrophic bacteria are selectively counted (21° C/25 h incubation) on agar containing growth inhibitors for Gram‐positive organisms.
