At AEMTEK, we’re known for our expertise in conducting a wide range of challenge studies, but what really sets us apart is our knack for tackling one of the food world’s trickiest challenges—acidified foods. Manufacturers of these unique products understand the need to partner with a lab that really ‘gets it.’
Challenge studies for acidified foods come with their own set of complexities. These unique features arise from the very nature of acidified foods and involve various factors, such as:
Acidified foods have low pH levels, creating a unique acidic environment that affects microbial growth differently than in other foods. Our studies address the nuances of pH, offering insights into how it impacts the survival and proliferation of microorganisms.
Different acids and concentrations are used in acidified foods, each with its own way of dealing with microorganisms. Our team knows how to decipher the role of acid type and concentration in challenging the growth of those microbes.
Acidified foods come with their own set of regulations to ensure safety. AEMTEK is well-versed in the stringent regulations governing acidified foods, ensuring that our challenge studies adhere to industry standards and demonstrate compliance, every step of the way.
Some microorganisms adapt to acidic conditions over time. Our studies uncover how these tiny creatures change and adapt, which is key to keeping your products safe.
From pickles to salsa to fruit preserves, acidified foods come in all shapes and sizes. Each product has its unique quirks, and we’ve got the experience to handle them all.
We know which microorganisms matter most for your product. Our studies zero in on the ones that are most important for your specific product.
We take a deep dive into the shelf stability of acidified foods. Factors like pH, temperature, and packaging can all affect how long your product stays fresh. Our challenge studies account for these variables.
Acidified foods rely on a mix of preservation methods, including low pH, heat treatment, and preservatives. We’re experts at evaluating how effective these methods are in keeping those microbes in check.
The type of packaging you use can influence microbial growth. Our studies carefully consider the interaction between food, packaging, and the surrounding environment, providing a holistic perspective.
