Traditionally, an organism's heat resistance parameters have been determined from a set of
experimental isothermal survival data. Sometimes, however, even approximating an …

Irrespective of whether the isothermal semi-logarithmic survival curves of heat inactivated
microbial cells or spores are linear or nonlinear, it is theoretically possible to numerically …

The most commonly used methods to generate microbial inactivation curves are based on
the assumptions that microbial mortality follows first order kinetics and that the temperature …

Biphasic isothermal inactivation constitutes a special case of non-linear mortality kinetics. It
can be modeled with a primary model that contains an 'If'statement and three temperature …

Stochastic models take into account the uncertainty and variability of predictions in
quantitative microbial risk assessment. However, a model that considers thermal inactivation …

The heat inactivation of microbial spores and the mortality of vegetative cells exposed to
heat or a hostile environment have been traditionally assumed to be governed by first-order …

Isothermal microbial survival curves are usually described by either linear or nonlinear time-
dependent models, from which non-isothermal survival curves can be generated if the …

Sigmoidal isothermal semi-logarithmic survival curves are of two main types; starting with a
downward and changing to upward concavity and vice versa. Both can be described by a …

Assuming that the targeted microorganism's isothermal survival curves follow the Weibullian
pattern, which describes a large number of microbial isothermal survival curves, a simple …

Application of mild (non)-thermal processing technologies have received considerable
interest as alternative to thermal pasteurisation, because of its shorter holding time and …
