A fluorescent filter method using the Bioplorer apparatus and a conventional standard plate count method were compared for microbial cell enumeration in soymilk. Soymilk samples were solubilized for filtration. The microbial cell count obtained using the Bioplorer method showed good correlation with that obtained by the standard plate count method. The results of this study showed that the Bioplorer method is a rapid and efficient method for enumeration of bacterial cells in soymilk.
