This International Standard specifies a method for the detection and enumeration of colony-forming units (CFU) of viable yeasts and/or moulds in milk and milk products by means of the colony-count technique at 25 °C.

The method is applicable to

  • milk, liquid milk products,

  • dried milk, dried sweet whey, dried buttermilk, lactose,

  • cheese,

  • acid casein, lactic casein, rennet casein,

  • caseinate, acid whey powder,

  • butter,

  • frozen milk products (including edible ices),

  • custard, desserts, fermented milk and cream.

NOTE This method is not suitable for a large number of thermolabile yeasts (in fresh cheese). In such cases the agar-surface-plating method is preferred.
