Tea Bacteria Testing

Tea is one of the most popular and widely consumed beverages worldwide. Microorganisms are closely associated with tea; the most typical ones are microbial fermentation of black tea, black tea bacteria, etc. At present, the research and application of microorganisms in the tea field is gradually broadening and deepening, involving tea planting, tea processing, and tea storage, and other links. Tea in the industrial manufacturing process, tea extracts can be stored without sterilization. The low acidity and nutrient-rich nature of tea extracts facilitate the growth of contaminating microorganisms. Therefore, beverage manufacturers need to monitor the contamination level of tea extracts on site to minimize product accidents and loss of sensory quality.

Solutions

Microorganisms can grow in tea even if it contains catechins. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the level of contamination of tea extracts during processing and the sterility of bottled products to ensure that food safety regulations are met. To reveal the microbial biotransformation of chemical components in tea, our experts have conducted numerous studies on the community structure and dynamics of microorganisms during the fermentation process.

We offer a variety of simple and reliable methods to analyze the community structure and dynamics of tea microorganisms, including:

• Traditional culturable methods such as plate isolation and purification.
• Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE).
• High-throughput sequencing, shotgun metagenomics.
• Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing.
• Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing combined with qPCR (quantitative PCR) technology, etc.

Tea is highly susceptible to microbial contamination in processing and other areas, which affects its quality. As a recognized leader in tea testing, Lifeasible can test for a wide range of tea bacteria, including but not limited to:

Rapid and effective tea microbiological testing is essential to protect consumer safety, achieve regulatory compliance, and minimize brand risk for manufacturers. Our industry insight, scientific expertise, and industry-leading technology allow us to quickly develop new products and protocols so that you remain adaptable, responsive, and competitive in the marketplace.
