29、um after aerobic incubation at 30 C. The method is applicable to:a) products intended for human consumption and for animal feed;b) environmental samples in the area of food and feed production and handling.This part of ISO 4833 is applicable to:1) products that require a reliable count when a low li
30、mit of detection is specified (below 102/g or 102/ml for liquid samples or below 103/g for solid samples);2) products expected to contain spreading colonies that obscure colonies of other organisms, e.g. milk and milk products likely to contain spreading Bacillus spp.The applicability of this part o
31、f ISO 4833 to the examination of certain fermented food and animal feeds is limited and other media or incubation conditions can be more appropriate. However, this method can be applied to such products even though it is possible that the predominant microorganisms in those products are not detected
32、 effectively.For some matrices, the method specified in this part of ISO 4833 can give different results to those obtained using the method specified in ISO 4833-2.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable fo

36、rposes of this part of ISO 4833, microorganisms are bacteria, yeasts and moulds that are able to produce colonies under the conditions specified in this part of ISO 4833.4 PrincipleA specified quantity of the liquid test sample, or a specified quantity of an initial suspension in the case of other p
37、roducts, is dispensed into an empty Petri dish and mixed with a specified molten agar culture medium to form a poured plate.Other plates are prepared under the same conditions using decimal dilutions of the test sample or of the initial suspension.The plates are incubated under aerobic conditions at
38、 30 C for 72 h.The number of microorganisms per gram or per millilitre of the test sample is calculated from the number of colonies obtained in the plates containing fewer than 300 colonies.5 Culture media and diluents5.1 GeneralFollow ISO 11133 for preparation, production and performance testing of
