Abstract:
Psychrophilic bacteria from 50 raw milk samples were enumerated by rapid real-time optoelectronic microbiological method and aerobic plate counting method in the same time. Testing data of psychrophilic bacteria was assayed and compared deriving from the two detection methods. The results showed that counts of psychrophilic bacteria using standard curve: Lg CFU/mL= -0.417*DT+7.91 of rapid real-time optoelectronic microbiological method were 2.3~3.7×106 CFU/mL and the detection time was of 3.2 to 18.1 h. The result of aerobic plate counting was 2.3~3.7×106 CFU/mL. When the detection time of rapid real-time optoelectronic microbiological method was more than 18 h, the psychrophilic bacteria was not detected. Meanwhile the results of aerobic plate counting were <1 CFU/mL. The difference of logarithm of testing results between the two detection method was -0.9~0.8 with the absolute values of <1. The testing results from the two methods were quite consistent. These results indicated that using rapid real-time optoelectronic microbiological method to detect psychrophilic bacteria in raw milk had high applicability, greatly shorten the testing time, and the method was also accurate, simple and easy.
