What's Happening?
bioMérieux has developed GENE-UP PRO HRM, a DNA-based test for detecting heat-resistant molds in beverages. The test, created in partnership with Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., offers a faster and more accurate method for identifying molds compared to traditional methods. It reduces the time-to-result from 15 days to 72 hours, improving operational efficiencies and minimizing storage costs for juice and concentrate producers.
Why It's Important?
The presence of heat-resistant molds poses a significant quality concern for beverage manufacturers. GENE-UP PRO HRM provides a comprehensive solution for detecting these molds, safeguarding product quality and brand reputation. By reducing the time-to-result, manufacturers can avoid costly storage fees and ensure timely delivery of products, enhancing consumer trust and satisfaction.
