Predictive microbiology: towards the interface and beyond.

摘要: Abstract This review considers the concept and history of predictive microbiology explores aspects modelling process including kinetic probability approaches. The “journey” traces route from reproducible responses observed under close to optimal conditions for growth, through recognition description increased variability in as become progressively less favourable defining combinations factors at which growth ceases (the growth/no interface). Death kinetics patterns are presented form a basis on begin development nonthermal death models. will require incorporation phenotypic, adaptive may be influenced by such sequence environmental constraints applied. A recurrent theme is that (stochastic) approaches required complement or replace models interface approached microorganisms adopt survival rather than mode. Attention also drawn interfaces with microbial physiology, information technology food safety initiatives HACCP risk assessment.
