Oxoid™ Dextrose Tryptone Agar 500g

Oxoid™ Dextrose Tryptone Agar is a high-quality, bacteriologically controlled medium designed for the detection and enumeration of flat-sour thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria in food products. Developed through extensive research, it is especially effective for identifying aerobic spore-forming bacteria responsible for flat-sour spoilage in canned foods and heat-processed ingredients such as sugars, starches, cereals, spices, and dehydrated vegetables.

Widely recommended by leading authorities including the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), American Public Health Association (APHA), and the National Canners Association, this medium supports the growth of spoilage organisms like Bacillus stearothermophilus, aiding in reliable microbial monitoring and quality control.
