Define the Enumeration of Food Microbiota?
Quality of food depends on its physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory quality. The examination of food for the type and number of microbes and their products is required to analyze the microbiological quality of the food. Number of methods can be employed for enumeration of microbes in food, but none of the method can give the exact number of microbes in a food product. Every method has its own limitations.
