Predictive microbiology and food safety
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2000The evaluation of risk in food safety requires knowledge of the probability that microbial population sizes will not exceed defined levels. This probability is evaluated assuming that the growth of the microbial population can be described by the Gompertz equation with the variance of growth depending on the population size.

Visualization, modelling and prediction in soil microbiology
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007The introduction of new approaches for characterizing microbial communities and imaging soil environments has benefited soil microbiology by providing new ways of detecting and locating microorganisms. Consequently, soil microbiology is poised to progress from simply cataloguing microbial complexity to becoming a systems science.

Trends in Food Science & Technology, 1993
The need to assure the microbiological safety and quality of increasingly complex food products has stimulated interest in the use of mathematical modeling to quantify and predict microbial behavior. During the past several years there has been substantial advancement in both the concepts and methods used in predictive microbiology.

Predictive microbiology and HACCP
1995The HACCP approach in the food industry has most often been applied to the prevention of microbiological problems, particularly the prevention of foodborne infection or intoxication. The analysis of microbiological hazards1 and definition of critical control points remains, however, an inexact process.

Microbiologic Prediction of Abdominal Surgical Wound Infection
Archives of Surgery, 1987We compared two methods of estimating parietal bacterial contamination during abdominal operations. Duplicate swabs were taken from the subcutaneous tissues at the end of 817 operations; one was transported to the Department of Microbiology in Stuart's thioglycollate medium and the other immediately incubated in Robertson's cooked meat broth in the ...

A new probabilistic approach in predictive microbiology
2011In this thesis a new probabilistic model in predictive microbiology, the NPMPM, is presented. It is based on a new approach for including variability and uncertainty. The NPMPM was developed for risk assessment of bacterial contaminations in the food supply chain. It is introduced by the example of a contamination of the milk supply chain with Listeria

A Hitchhikers Guide to Predictive Microbiology
2020Predictive microbiology has become an important area of research in recent years. With the continuing interest in reducing inspection costs, improving product quality and safety, and maximizing returns to industry, scientists are grappling with the problems associated with assuring the safety of food products during times of limited resources ...

[Predictive microbiology and risk assessment].
DTW. Deutsche tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 2004Predictive microbiology (predictive modelling PM), in spite of its limits and short-comings, may often contribute to a reduction of the problems arising when HACCP systems are established or microbiological risk assessment is done. Having identified the agents which constitute a risk and the contamination rate and density in the raw material, the ...

Multiobjective Pareto Ordinal Classification for Predictive Microbiology
2013This paper proposes the use of a Memetic Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) based on Pareto dominance to solve two ordinal classification problems in predictive microbiology. Ordinal classification problems are those ones where there is order between the classes because of the nature of the problem.
