Sampling & statistics.

Auteurs : GIBSON D. M., OGDEN I. D.

Résumé

The usefulness of a microbiological analysis is only as good as how representative the sample is of the population from which it is taken. What is sampled, how the sample is taken, and how much sample all have an influence. Sampling schemes have been devised and validated for research work, in which experiments are done to test for the effects of changes in technology on quality or shelf-life, for quality control within companies or for inter-company trade, and for international trade, usually based on the recommendations of the International Commission for the Microbiological Specifications for Food, now 30 years old, and requiring modernisation. The statistics of sampling biological materials such as fish, shellfish and their products do not give precise data. With the evolution of non-traditional, automated and rapid methods, there is a need for a robust method of comparison of conventional data and these new forms of data. One such approach for calibrating and validating Malthus conductance data for safety and quality will be described and show how they can give "better" results than traditional methods of analysis.
