This paper serves as an overview of various aspects of thermal processing. Heat processing
of foods has a long history and is still one of the most important preservation methods. To …

Food supply chains are nowadays perturbed by an increased supply and demand
uncertainty, and more and more suffering from unexpected disruptions. In the specific …

Bacillus cereus is a common and important food-borne pathogen that can be found in
various food products. Due to low-temperature sterilization for a short period of time …

Predictive microbiology in foods is a research area within food microbiology intended to
provide mathematical models to predict microbial behavior in food environments. Although …

Refrigerated storage of raw milk promotes the growth of psychrotrophic bacteria, some of
which produce heat-stable exoenzymes causing dairy product spoilage. The effects of …

In this study, predictions for growth rate of Listeria on food products were evaluated by both
general applicable models and specific growth models. Literature values, obtained from a …
