When producing low-acid aseptic beverages, you want to be sure that your filling line is not contaminated with spoilage bacteria, yeasts or moulds. Contamination can result in considerable reprocessing, disposal and product recall costs, as well as damage to brand reputation and consumer confidence. Merck granulated ready mixed linden grain medium, a high quality alternative to powdered media, was successfully developed in cooperation with Coca-Cola HBC AG, Zug, Switzerland for media fill simulations.

The unique granulated format of linden grain medium ensures excellent solubility and free flowing properties, means that there is no component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions. It also ensures homogenous distribution of non animal based ingredients and less dust formation, reducing cleaning efforts and limiting the spread of media components that may be hazardous or lead to allergic reactions if inhaled.
