Microbial challenge studies evaluate the ability of a food product to inactivate or inhibit the growth of specific microorganisms. Challenge studies monitor the microbial growth of an inoculated product, over time, when held under its intended storage conditions. This data demonstrates if the product is able to withstand contamination by potentially hazardous organisms.
Relatedly, validation studies evaluate the ability of a process to inhibit or reduce the microbial load of a specific microorganism in a product. Validation studies monitor the reduction in microbial load of an inoculated product after undergoing such processing.
AEMTEK offers customized challenge and validation studies designed to meet the goals of each specific project. Our experienced Ph.D. microbiologists and mycologists will help guide you through the process in order to design a scientifically valid study for the product of interest.
