Abstract
The production of colour by homogenised fish material in a simplified sugar medium containing an acid indicator has been made use of for the rapid approximation of bacterial load in such products. The medium thus developed contains poptone, trypone, yeast extract, sodium chloride and beef extract besides dextrose. The time of colour production is influenced to some extent by the level of sodium chloride in the medium; and is almost inversely proportional to the bacterial load in the homogenate.
