Predictive Food Models
Predictive models are mathematical equations that estimate the growth or death of microorganisms as a function of the food environment, such as pH, water activity, temperature, and other factors. The models can be used to understand how pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria will grow in food.
Clicking on the name of a model will open a page that allows users to explore factors that affect microbial growth.
