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...

Impact of parameter variability on the food process engineering calculations required for safety, quality and shelf-life estimations

Creator:

Chotyakul, Nattaporn

Abstract:

Quantitative procedures were developed to determine the effect of variability in the model parameters required for the estimation of microbial shelflife and thermal processing time. Monte Carlo simulations combined with these predictive models were implemented in Microsoft Excel™. In the first study, predictive models were used for shelf-life predictions based...
