Principle and Interpretation
TGB HiVeg Agar is prepared by replacing Casein enzymic hydrolysate and Beef extract of bovine origin by HiVeg hydrolysate and HiVeg extract respectively which are of vegetable origin, hence free of BSE/TSE risks. TGB HiVeg Agar is a modification of Glucose Skim Milk Agar designed by Bowers and Huker (1). It is used for cultivation and enumeration of bacteria in milk and other dairy products (2) and for the standard plate count of food (3) and water (4). HiVeg hydrolysate, HiVeg extract provide nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds and other nutrients essential for the growth of organisms. Glucose serves as an energy source.
This medium can be also used for pour plate technique. Usually 1 ml samples of appropriate dilutions of the test sample are pipetted in to sterile petriplates and molten, cooled TGB HiVeg Agar is added followed by gentle mixing so as to get uniform mixing. Incubate plates for 48-72 hours at 35°C.
Quality Control
Appearance of powder: Light yellow coloured, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.5% Agar gel
Colour and Clarity: Light yellow coloured, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in petri plates.
Reaction: Reaction of 2.4% w/v aqueous solution is pH 7.0 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
Cultural Response
Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 24-48 hours.
