| Final pH (at 25°C) 7.0 ± 0.2 | |
** Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 17.29 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense 10 ml portions in the size 20 x 150 mm screw capped tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation
Tryptone Water Broth HiVeg is prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate which is free from BSE/TSE risks associated with animal based peptones. Tryptone Water Broth, HiVeg is the modification of Tryptone Water Broth which is recommended and prepared as per APHA (1) for cultivating Salmonella species from foods. HiVeg hydrolysate and yeast extract provide the essential nitrogenous compounds, vitamin B complex and other growth nutrients for the growth of Salmonellae. Dipotassium phosphate serves as a buffer thereby maintaining the pH. Dextrose is the fermentable carbohydrate source. Bromo cresol purple is the pH indicator. The medium changes to yellow colour on utilization of dextrose.
