The method consists in preparing of poured plates using a specified selective culture medium and a specified quantity of a test sample, further dilutions of the test sample. Then aerobic incubation of the plates at 25 degrees centigrade for 3, 4 or 5 days, followed by calculation of the number of yeasts and moulds per gram or per millilitre of ## Source - https://isopublicstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/opendata/_latest/iso_deliverables_metadata/csv/iso_deliverables_metadata.csv Last verified: 2026-08-05.
