EE Broth, Mossel (7603)

Intended Use

EE Broth, Mossel is specifically designed for the cultivation and enrichment of Enterobacteriaceae in food samples. It complies with the Harmonized USP, EP, and JP standards, ensuring reliable results in food safety testing.

Product Summary and Explanation

Developed by Mossel, Visser, and Cornelissen, EE Broth, Mossel provides an optimized environment for the growth of Enterobacteriaceae, crucial for accurate food safety assessments. With a key ingredient—dextrose—this medium significantly enhances the growth of pathogenic organisms such as E. coli and Salmonella spp. found in various food products. To suppress nuisance organisms that might interfere with testing, Ox Bile and Brilliant Green are incorporated into the formulation.

As an enrichment broth, EE Broth, Mossel supports the recovery of damaged or stressed cells that may not survive on selective media. Enterobacteriaceae can be adversely affected by food processing methods, including low temperature storage, inadequate heating, drying, exposure to radiation, or the presence of preservatives and sanitizers. Monitoring these organisms is critical, as injured cells, although not visibly proliferating, pose significant health risks if consumed.

EE Broth, Mossel adheres to the rigorous specifications set by the Eiprodukte-Verordnung (German Egg Product Regulations), alongside compliance with the Harmonized standards of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EU), and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP).
