With the increased demand for lightly preserved and/or ready‐to‐eat (RTE) food products,
the prevalence of the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has increased, which is …

Biopreservation is a sustainable approach to improve food safety and maintain or extend
food shelf life by using beneficial microorganisms or their metabolites. Over the past 20 …

The inherent differences in microbial behavior among identically treated strains of the same
microbial species, referred to as “strain variability”, are regarded as an important source of …

Differences in phenotypic responses among strains of the same microbial species constitute
an important source of variability in microbiological studies, and as such they need to be …

Abstract The 8th International Conference on Predictive Modelling in Food was held in Paris,
France in September 2013. One of the major topics of this conference was the transfer of …

Conventional bacterial growth studies rely on large bacterial populations without
considering the individual cells. Individual cells, however, can exhibit marked behavioral …

Concurrent with the growth of aquaculture salmon farming, there is a corresponding
increase in the commercial production of cold smoked salmon (CSS). The definition of CSS …

Food quality (including safety) along the cold chain, energy use and global warming impact
of refrigeration systems are three key aspects in assessing cold chain sustainability. In this …

A statistical modeling approach was applied for describing and evaluating the individual cell
heterogeneity as variability source in microbial inactivation. The inactivation data (N t vs …
