Observations on the enumeration of moulds in food and feedingstuffs.
This paper considers the technical problems associated with the quantitative analysis of mould in foods and feedingstuffs. It seeks to define a philosophy concerning the use of quantitative mycological data in advisory, investigatory and quality assurance situations and stresses the need for quantitative estimates always to be aligned with qualitative assessment of the mycoflora of foods and feedingstuffs.
