Autozone predicts Nisaplin efficacy at Danisco

Synbiosis product story

Synbiosis has announced that food ingredients company Danisco is using its Autozone automated zone measurement system to reproducibly predict the efficacy of Nisaplin.
Nisaplin is a natural bacteriocide that inhibits growth of pathogenic and food spoilage gram-positive bacteria in food.
Microbiologists at Danisco's food protection division in Denmark liquidise different food samples containing Nisaplin.
They plate them out on 35cm glass plates of Iso-Sensitest Agar seeded with Micrococcus luteus.
The Nisaplin in the food produces 64 zones of inhibition on each plate, which scientists at Danisco can rapidly measure and analyse using the Autozone system.
From the zone-size data, they can assess if the correct Nisaplin levels are present in each food batch.
