Microbiological and Chemical Analyses of Dairy Products
Canada’s dairies and cheese makers produce a wide range of quality products. As an industry leader for 50+ years, we are proud to offer specialized services for the milk-processing industry.
Microbiological Analysis of Dairy Products
We offer microbiological analyses on ingredients, brine, intermediate and finished products. Our analysis helps you develop a compliant product that meets food industry standards. We also carry out microbiological analyses on surfaces (sponges and environmental swabs).
We offer the following analyses:
- Total aerobic bacteria count
- Escherichia coli count
- Coliform count
- Staphylococcus aureus count
- Listeria monocytogene and other listeria spp. detection
- Salmonella spp. detection
- If needed, detection of Listeria spp. (including monocytogenes) and salmonella spp.
Chemical Analysis of Dairy Products
Lactanet and its partners can analyze milk, creams, cheeses and multiple other dairy products using validated reference methods. Here are a few example components:
- Fat
- Crude protein
- True Protein
- Casein
- Total solids
- Urea
- Lactose
- Sugar profile
- Fatty acids profile
- Salt
- Metals/Minerals
- Humidity
- Ash
- Nutritional value table
- Vitamins A and D
