Summary

Bacterial population in food may cause foodborne infections on consumption or spoilage of food, if stored under adverse environmental conditions.

The paper critically analyses the methods for estimating bacterial populations in foods and discusses the rapid methods for food quality. The advantages and limitations of the methods are also delineated.
