Advanced Quantitative Microbiology For Foods And Biosystems Models For Predictin - Micha Peleg

Presenting A Novel View Of The Quantitative Modeling Of Microbial Growth And Inactivation Patterns In Food, Water, And Biosystems, Advanced Quantitative Microbiology For Foods And Biosystems: Models For Predicting Growth And Inactivation Describes Models For Estimating Microbial Growth And Survival. The Author Covers Traditional And Alternative Models, Thermal And Non-thermal Preservation, Water Disinfection, Microbial Dose Response Curves, Interpretation Of Irregular Count Records, And How To Estimate The Frequencies Of Future Outbursts. He Focuses Primarily On The Mathematical Forms Of The Proposed Alternative Models And On The Rationale For Their Introduction As Substitutes To Those Currently In Use.
