  3. Microbiological load: how to manage it with thermal processing treatments validated by laboratory analyses

The issue of bacterial load is one of the most problematic components in the processing of cereals, pulses and oilseeds, especially wholegrains.
On the one hand, it is necessary to apply production processes that can reduce the presence of micro-organisms. On the other hand, the development of molecular research is leading to major changes in the classification of bacteria with repercussions in day-to-day application following the reclassification of Enterobacteriaceae.
