BCN
Labs provides
clients with unmatched technical expertise in food and beverage
mycology. We are trained to identify
the cause of yeast and mold spoilage. Spoilage can
be due to ingredients, packaging supplies, and the environment
(air and equipment). Due to our strong background in
sanitation, we can recommend the right sanitation procedures
and sanitizers to effectively eliminate the cause of your
spoilage.
Our
specialty is spoilage due to heat-resistant molds such
as Byssochlamys fulva, B. nivea, B. spectabilis (Paecilomyces
variotii complex), Talaromyces macrosporus, T. trachyspermus,
Neosartorya fischeri, etc.
