Food quality and safety has become increasingly important as consumer demands have led to tightening legal controls and rapid introduction of quality assurance and management programmes. Traditional microbiological techniques are being replaced by a new generation of rapid or alternative methods able to produce results much more quickly and reliably. This work reviews the current status of these techniques from an international perspective, and with particular emphasis on commercially available detection and estimation systems.
