ISO/TS 27265 | IDF/RM 228: 2026 – Heat-processed milk and dried milk products — Enumeration of thermoresistant spores of thermophilic bacteria
This document specifies methods for the enumeration of thermoresistant spores of thermophilic bacteria in heat-processed milk and dried milk products by using a colony count technique at 55 °C after heating the sample at 106 °C or 100 °C. The applicability of this document is limited to heat-processed milk including pasteurized, ultra-high temperature (UHT) processed […]
ISO 9877 | IDF 258: 2026 – Milk and milk products — Determination of ash
This document specifies a method for the determination of the ash content in milk, milk powder, whey powder, whey protein concentrate, infant formula, milk permeate powder and milk protein concentrate. NOTE: For the determination of ash (“fixed ash”) of caseins and caseinates, see ISO 5544 | IDF 89.
ISO 16958 | IDF 231: 2026 – Milk, milk products, infant formula and adult nutritionals — Determination of fatty acids composition — Capillary gas chromatographic method
This document specifies a method for the quantification of individual and/or all fatty acids content in the profile of milk, milk products, infant formula and adult nutritional formula, containing milk fat and/or vegetable oils, supplemented or not supplemented with oils rich in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). This also includes groups of fatty acids […]
ISO 7889 | IDF 117: 2026 – Yoghurt — Enumeration of characteristic microorganisms — Colony-count technique
This document specifies a method for the enumeration of the characteristic microorganisms Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (in short: L. bulgaricus) and Streptococcus thermophilus (in short: S. thermophilus) by means of the colony-count technique. The method is applicable to yoghurts (for the definition see CXS 243‑2003[7]). The colony-count technique (pour plates) is suitable for, but not […]
ISO/TS 11059 | IDF/RM 225:2025 – Milk and milk products — Method for the enumeration of Pseudomonas spp.
This standard describes the enumeration of Pseudomonas spp. by colony-count technique, in milk, milk products and environmental samples in the area of dairy production and handling.The method allows the isolation of all pigmented and non-pigmented psychrotrophic Pseudomonas spp. This standard cancels and replaces the first edition ISO/TS 11059 | IDF/RM 225: 2009, which has been […]
