A Combined Model for Growth and Subsequent Thermal Inactivation of Brochothrix thermosphacta

J Baranyi et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1996 Mar.

Abstract

A mathematical technique for integrating growth and thermal inactivation models of microorganisms into a smooth combined model that can be applied to circumstances under which the temperature gradually rises from growth to inactivation regions is described. For the death part of the model, a correction term is introduced to allow for additional resistance of the cells gained during slow heating. The model was validated with Brochothrix thermosphacta heated in broth at rising temperatures.
