Food & Beverage Testing
Rapid Microbial testing for beverages, cultures, and enzymes
to ensure product quality
On-Site Transparency
Place testing close to production at critical control points to monitor microbial load exactly where it matters.
Faster results
Obtain critical microbial test results within 3 to 24 hours, compared to conventional methods that take 3 to 5 days.
Reduced Downtime
Faster results mean reduced downtime and quicker decision-making, optimizing operational workflows.
Why It Matters: Microbiological Risks in Beverages
Spoilage in beverages may not be harmful, but ruins product quality, leads to recalls, and damages brand trust. Contaminants like Saccharomyces, Zygosaccharomyces, Lactobacillus, and Acetobacter thrive in acidic and sweetened liquids.
Without rapid detection, entire batches risk contamination and loss.
With IntuGrow it is possible to determine TVC and test the common pathogens in one analysis with results in few hours. This enables a thorough overview of the state of the process line with full transparency of the microbial load at multiple CCPs.
To strengthen quality control even further, explore our Rapid Water Testing solutions to ensure microbial safety from the very start of the production process.
Applications Across Beverage Types & Cultures
Soft Drinks & Juices
Acidic drinks like soft drinks and juices can attract unwanted microbes such as yeasts, molds, and certain bacteria. These can lead to fizzing, cloudy appearance, and changes in taste. While not usually harmful, they do affect freshness and quality.
Fast detection of contaminants helps to reduce scrap, cost and and maintain smooth production.
Fermented Cultures
Products made with live cultures, like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, rely on the right balance of good bacteria. Overgrowth or contamination can impact taste, texture, and the health benefits promised on the label.
Contamination Control helps ensure consistency, quality, and trust in every batch.
Enzymes and Cultures
Enzymes and cultures play a key role in food and beverage manufacturing. It is important to check them for unwanted microbes before they are used in products.
Rapid mincrobial testing means fewer delays, better ingredient quality, and a smoother path to the final product.
