Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect bacteria, especially those proliferating in acidic or neutral beverages, in a short time at a low cost. SOLUTION: An inspection of noxious bacteria in food and drink is carried out by culturing or incubating a culture solution containing a sample to be inspected in the presence of vanillic acid for a certain period of time, subsequently measuring produced guaiacol qualitatively or quantitatively. A kit for detecting guaiacol-producing bacteria is prepared by housing an acidic or a neutral medium containing a vanillic acid substrate for producing guaiacol, sealing and sterilizing the same. Sporophyte of spore-forming bacteria is detected by incubating in the food and drink in the presence of vanillic acid for a certain period of time and measuring produced guaiacol qualitatively or quantitatively.
