Experimental and mathematical procedures for the estimation of shelf-life : application to temperature-abused chilled seafood

Creator:

Almonacid-Merino, Sergio Felipe

Abstract:

The validation and potential use of mathematical models to estimate the shelf-life of refrigerated food exposed to temperature abuse and basing such estimations on microbial growth was analyzed. Combined heat transfer, microbial growth models, and non-parametric statistical procedures formed a computer-based predictive tool to assess shelf-life and estimate the accuracy...
