czWe offer a wide selection of selective agar media for the detection and quantification of yeasts and molds in food in accordance with applicable standards.
DG 18 (Dichloran Glycerol Agar)
Selective medium with 18 % dichloran glycerol with low water activity (aw) intended for the isolation of xerophilic molds from dried and semi-dried food. It is used to quantify yeasts and molds in food according to ČSN ISO 21527-2.
Suitable for:
✔ Dried fruit
✔ Spices
✔ Confectionery
✔ Cereals
✔ Nuts
✔ Dried meat and fish
DRBC (Dichloran Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar)
A selective medium with chloramphenicol, dichloran, and bengal red designed to detect yeast and mold that cause food spoilage. The presence of dichloran limits the growth of Rhizopus and Mucor molds, which facilitates the detection of mycotoxigenic molds. Determination according to ČSN ISO 21527-1.
Malt agar
A general medium designed for determining the number of yeasts and molds. It contains malt extract, which supports the growth of target microorganisms.
GKCh (YGC Agar)
A medium with glucose, yeast extract, and chloramphenicol intended for the determination of yeasts and molds according to ČSN ISO 6611. Glucose serves as an energy source, yeast extract provides growth factors, and chloramphenicol inhibits the growth of bacteria.
