Abstract
Foodborne pathogens pose a serious problem for human health. Fast
and accurate analytical methods are needed to ensure food quality and safety.
This article analyzes promising methods for the detection and identification of
microorganisms in food microbiology. The choice of analytical method depends on
the available technology, the pathogens detected, the complexity of sampling and
sample averaging, the urgency of the test, and the expected microbial load.
Having analyzed the various methods of microbial detection and identification
in food microbiology, it can be concluded that all methods have both advantages
and disadvantages and, therefore, the gap between sophisticated technology, research
advances and the specific application of developed methods in routine analysis
needs to be filled. The creation of a fast, cheap and non-labor-intensive method
will serve as a breakthrough in food microbiology and will allow laboratories to
quickly and qualitatively conduct research to ensure food safety
Keywords
