Advance in Microbiological Limit and Detection Technique of Plant Extracts

Abstract:

Microbiological test of the plant extracts is an important measure to guarantee the safety of the plant extracts products. It is important to establish strict criterion system of the plant extracts quality control, especially for functional food, food additive and daily use chemicals from the plants. We elaborate on great significance of microbiological test of the plants extracts to the quality and safety of the plant extracts products, which is critical problem for the integrated development of the plant extracts industry. In this paper we introduced the current research and development trends on microbiological detection techniques, and also give some advice on how to establish a new standard system of microbiological test of the plant extracts industry, so that our plant extracts industry has competitive advantages on the international markets.
