Prediction of Mold Spoilage for Soy/Polyethylene Composite Fibers

(a) Prediction model for the median number of mold-free days (MFDs) based on temperature () and water activity () values obtained from the Weibull distribution utilizing observed logarithmic values of , , and an interaction term of of three replications. Observed mold growth expressed as mold-free days (MFDs) on soy/PE fiber samples from all three replications shown as points on the graph to demonstrate the relationship of observed values to the predicted values.
