| Abstract: | Thin-layer chromatography was investigated as an inexpensive alternative to traditional microbiological techniques for the detection of microbial growth in canned vegetables. It was compared with culture methods, pH determination and direct microscopy in batches of canned vegetables with a known incidence of spoilage. |
