Incubation process, which is an important step in microbiological studies, is the last step of sampling, sowing and cultivation after planting. Microorganisms also need different nutrients, heat, humidity, carbon dioxide and oxygen to grow. If these characteristics of the microorganisms to be cultured are known, the requirements that will allow them to multiply are met appropriately during the incubation process.

In a simple way, the incubation process is the process of keeping microorganisms at certain temperatures and ensuring their development. For this process, it is necessary to maintain the microorganisms for an appropriate time in devices called incubators or incubators where they can grow. The incubation time is called the retention time under certain temperature and weather conditions for a microorganism to complete its development. From this point of view, the time until a pathogen microorganism enters the human body begins to show typical symptoms of the disease is called the time of induction. In other words, the incubation period is the time that a microorganism enters the human body to cause disease.

Incubation time, microorganisms,

·         The time taken to form typical colony structures in solid media,

·         In liquid media, it is the time taken for the liquid to become turbid.

The characteristics of the media used in the reproduction of microorganisms and the chemical, physical, biological and mechanical factors in the environment are very effective on the growth of bacteria.

The incubation period may be 7, 10, 15 or longer depending on the characteristics of the bacteria in the laboratory environment. During these analyzes, incubation studies, observation, hH value measurements and bacterial planting studies are carried out within the scope of microbiological control studies, for example for ready meals, canned food and breakfast packages.

10 daily incubation (stability) studies are performed in authorized laboratories within the scope of microbiological analyzes. During these studies, standards and test methods issued by domestic and foreign organizations are followed.
