Pre-enrichment – time and temperature, other
considerations
Time and Temperature Requirements
AOAC
24 ± 2 h at 35 ± 2°C
–
BAM (FDA)
– 24 ± 2 h at 35 ± 2°C
MLG (FSIS-USDA)
– varies with food, 18-24 h, 20-24h or 22-26h (all ± 2°C)
HC
– 18-24h at 35 ± 1°C
ISO
– 18 ± 2 h at 37 ± 1°C
Other considerations – variable requirements for:
5
-
Need for pH adjustment
-
Pre-soaking of dry ingredients
-
Thawing requirements for frozen product
-
Formulation differences for “same named” broths.
Selective Enrichment – media, time and
temperature
