Indicator organisms in food production

Importance of monitoring indicator organisms

Microbiological indicator organisms are crucial for monitoring hygienic conditions in food production. The presence of specific bacteria, yeasts, or molds indicates poor hygiene and potential microbiological contamination.

Implementing HACCP systems

HACCP systems are widely implemented to certify the safety and consistency of food products. Biological, chemical, or physical hazards can be introduced through raw materials, processes, equipment, environments, and employees. Our rapid and reliable test systems enable easy checks of raw materials, final products, production lines, staff, and cleaning efficiency (CIP water) for microbial contamination.

Types of microbiological indicator organisms

The “total viable count on surface” refers to the number of colony-forming units (cfu) per defined area (e.g., 1 cm²) of the analyzed surface. This is typically determined using total plate count agar, where colonies are counted after 48 hours of incubation at 30-35°C. The total viable count indicates the hygienic status of food production, showing potential microbial loads and contamination sources. The “aerobic mesophilic count” indicates the number of cfu formed on a plate count medium during a specified incubation time at mesophilic temperatures (approx. 30-37°C), reflecting the microbial status of the production and environmental conditions.

Coliform bacteria are indicators of fecal contamination and are often used to monitor water quality. Their detection on surfaces in the production environment or in solid foods signals that hygienic conditions need improvement. Coliform bacteria, which include genera from the Enterobacteriaceae family, share biochemical characteristics such as positive lactose fermentation and negative oxidase reaction. They can be identified using nutrient media with chromogenic substrates for their enzyme β-galactosidase (e.g., X-GAL).

Enterobacteriaceae are gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria typically 1-5 µm in length. They are facultative anaerobes, mostly motile, but some genera are non-motile. Enterobacteriaceae are oxidase-negative and can be distinguished from similar genera by this trait. These bacteria are normal components of the gut flora in humans and animals and are also widely spread in the environment (e.g., soil, water). Some genera, such as Cedecea, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Hafnia, Klebsiella, Kluyvera, Morganella, Proteus, Rahnella, Salmonella, Serratia, Shigella, and Yersinia, are pathogenic and can cause serious diseases.

Enterococci are gram-positive organisms that belong to the intestinal bacteria, alongside the gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae. They may appear as contaminants in various fermented foods, indicating poor sanitary conditions during production and processing. However, Enterococci are also used as starter cultures in fermentation processes, contributing to the development of organoleptic properties in fermented foods. In water, Enterococci serve as indicators of fecal contamination, appearing only if introduced by human or animal feces.

Yeasts and molds can contaminate foods, leading to quick spoilage. Molds, in particular, can produce toxic or allergenic substances, posing significant health risks. These organisms can spread rapidly through dust and aerosols, consistently contaminating production surfaces. Therefore, they should be included in hygiene monitoring sampling plans.

Yeasts are facultative anaerobic, unicellular fungi that ferment sugar to CO2 and H2O, or to alcohol and CO2 under anaerobic conditions. These properties are commercially exploited in brewing, wine, and baking industries, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae being the most common industrial strain. Candida species are significant in food spoilage, residing on human and animal mucosa.

The term “mold” commonly refers to the visible part of fungi present on the surface of contaminated food. Beneath the surface, fungi form mycelium, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. Specific molds and yeasts are used industrially, such as in cheese production. However, harmful mold genera can produce toxins (mycotoxins) and have allergenic potential due to their spore formation. Besides food spoilage, molds are also a concern in buildings infested by mold.

Key benefits of using our test systems

Our test systems offer numerous advantages for monitoring microbiological indicator organisms:

  • Rapid and reliable results: Quickly detect and quantify microbial contaminants to ensure food safety.
  • Comprehensive coverage: Test raw materials, final products, production lines, staff, and cleaning efficiency.
  • Ease of use: Designed for simplicity, making it easy to integrate into existing HACCP systems.
  • Sensitive and specific: Detect low levels of contamination to prevent the spread of harmful microorganisms.

Conclusion

Monitoring microbiological indicator organisms is essential for maintaining hygienic conditions in food production. Our test systems provide a reliable and efficient solution for detecting bacteria, yeasts, and molds, helping you ensure product safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Implementing these systems as part of a comprehensive HACCP plan helps prevent contamination and protects consumers from potential health risks.
