Safety and toxin-producing ability of bacillary microbiota of Ukrainian plant raw materials and products

Abstract

The distinction and identification of Bacilli as the representatives of the plant raw material epiphytic microbiota is a necessary step for forecasting and ensuring the safety of plant products. It allows promptly adjusting their technological processing, which ensures the accordance of food products to the international standards. Standardized methods of diagnosing the safety of food and raw materials are classical methods of food microbiology, based on the phenotypic characteristics of microorganisms, which are time-taking and not always able to diagnose the microbial toxigenic properties
