Comparison of Two Mechanistic Microbial Growth Models to Estimate Shelf Life of Perishable Food Package under Dynamic Temperature Conditions

Figure 1

Estimation of pseudomonads growth under several fluctuating temperature conditions. Experimental data are from Koutsoumanis [21]. Thin solid lines are the temperature, and thick solid and dotted lines are microbial counts estimated by Huang and Barayi models, respectively. ▲: experimental microbial count.
