Application

BAT broth is used for the enrichment of Alicyclobacillus spp. from juice and juice-related products and their ingredients, environmental samples, including process water, and other materials in the area of food production and food handling.

Features and Benefits

The formulation of this BAT broth is according to the revision of IFU Method No. 12 of 2019, and is less toxic due to the removal of boric acid and cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate

General description

BAT broth is suitable for the enrichment of spore-forming thermo-acidophilic spoilage bacteria (Alicyclobacillus spp.). It contains glucose as a carbon and energy source. Yeast extract is a source for vitamins, particularly the B-group. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate acts as a buffering system. The low pH value and the high incubation temperature inhibit the contaminating flora. This medium contains many trace elements, which supply the specific requirements for the growth of Alicyclobacillus spp.

Other Notes

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
