For the detection of coliforms in food samples.


Composition

Ingredients Gms/Litre
Casein acid hydrolysate 20.000
Dipotassium phosphate 8.710
Yeast extract 6.000
Sodium chloride 2.500
Final pH (at 25°C) 8.5±0.2

Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Suspend 37.21 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat, if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Mix well and dispense as desired.

Note: The medium may form slight precipitate upon standing.

Principle And Interpretation

Examination of water, foods, ingredients and raw materials, for the presence of marker groups such as coliforms is one of the most common tests in a microbiological laboratory, partly because of the relative ease and speed with which these tests can be accomplished. It is a valuable bacterial indicator for determining the extent of faecal contamination of recreational surface waters or drinking water (1). Syncase Broth is used for the detection of coliform organisms from food samples as per APHA (2).

Casein acid hydrolysate and yeast extract in the medium supply the necessary nitrogenous nutrients for the growth of coliforms. Dipotassium phosphate serves as buffering agent to maintain pH, whereas sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium.
