The AOAC Research Institute has approved Neogen Corporation’s Soleris Direct Yeast and Mold (DYM) test, a rapid and accurate test to directly detect yeast and mold in a variety of food matrices, such as dressings, sauces, pet food, dairy products, fruit- and vegetable-based products, as well as nutraceuticals. Soleris DYM produces accurate results in only 48 hours, whereas conventional yeast and mold methods can take up to five days. This new test is designed for use in the Soleris’ rapid microbiology system, which accelerates and monitors microbial growth for faster results.
