Modelling Microorganisms in Food.MODELLING MICROORGANISMS IN FOOD Edited by Stanley Brul, Suzanne van Gerwen and Marcel Zwietering Published 2007 294 Pages Hardback Price 130.00 [pounds sterling] Predicting the growth and behaviour of microorganisms in food more successfuly has long been an aim in food microbiology Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms which inhabit, create or contaminate food. It is a subdiscipline of food science. Food safety Food safety is a major focus of food microbiology. research. In recent years microbial microbial pertaining to or emanating from a microbe. microbial digestion the breakdown of organic material, especially feedstuffs, by microbial organisms. models have evolved to become more exact. The discipline of quantitative microbial ecology Microbial ecology The study of interrelationships between microorganisms and their living and nonliving environments. Microbial populations are able to tolerate and to grow under varying environmental conditions, including habitats with extreme environmental has also gained increasing importance for food safety management, particularly as modern processing methods operate more often closer to microbial death, survival and growth boundaries and therefore require more precise models. This book covers the latest developments and provides an outlook for the future of microbial modelling. 1. Introduction. 2. Predictive Microbiology: Past Present and Future. 3. Experimental Design Data Processing and Model Fitting In Predictive Microbiology. 4. Uncertainty and Variability in Predictive Models of Microorganisms in Food. 5.
