Description

Mode of Action
The culture medium is optimally adapted to the special requirements of the microbial flora present in citrus juices (e.g. Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc species, fungi, etc.) due to the fact that it contains orange extract. It is therefore especially useful for the production control in the fruit juice industry
(HAYS and TIESTER 1952).
