This medium differs from the traditionally used media for testing cosmetics products by addition of Polysorbate 80 and incubation time of 3 days, rather than 7 days, at 27°C ± 0.5°C to obtain a significant mold count. Appearance: Pale yellow to beige homogeneous free flowing powder Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.5% Agar gel Color and Clarity of prepared medium: Medium amber colored with yellow tinge, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in Petri plates Reaction: Reaction of 5.44% w/v aqueous solution at 25°C. pH : 7.0±0.2 Cultural Response: Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 27.5 ± 0.5°C for 65-72 hours
