The need for rapid detection of pathogens in food has promoted the importance of PCR-based methods in addressing food safety challenges.
How does the expanding dairy sector complement the growth structure of the food pathogen testing market?
The dairy production industry has grown rapidly in various developing and developed economies, making significant contributions to health, environment, nutrition and livelihoods. However, dairy products, although considered healthy, can also contribute to serious human diseases in a variety of ways, of which dairy-borne diseases are probably to top the list
Milk and products derived from the milk of cows can host a variety of microorganisms that become a source of foodborne pathogens. This has driven the need for appropriate detection methods and technologies that can eliminate bacteria, such as Salmonella, from dairy products.
A variety of rapid pathogen detection solutions suitable for detecting the presence of different bacteria and organisms are available for dairy-based food companies. For example, PCR-based solutions can be used to detect mastitis in dairy products, a common udder infection caused by microorganisms in dairy cows that affect the quality of milk.
Meat Products
Consumption of raw or undercooked meat is also expected to generate significant demand for food pathogen detection kits in the coming years. Common contaminants found in these products are E. coli and Salmonella. One strain of E. coli, Shiga Toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), is expected to become a deadly contaminant present in meat products.
WHO reports estimate that up to 10% of STEC-infected patients are susceptible to hemolytic anemia syndrome (HUS), which has a case fatality rate of 3-5%.
In this context, the worldwide demand for pathogen testing for E. coli and other contaminants in meat products is gradually expanding.
The global food and beverage industry is subject to stringent safety requirements, and a significant portion of the responsibility lies with food manufacturers. Therefore, access to rapid detection technologies will enable producers to meet their safety obligations without compromising productivity and the bottom line.(SOURCE Food Safety Tech)
