Predictive modelling: applications in the dairy industry.
Predictive modelling has been used in the dairy industry for determining the keeping quality of raw milk and pasteurized products. More recently, predictive equations describing growth and toxin production for a number of bacteria of concern to dairy microbiologists have been developed. A more mathematical approach is also being adopted for determining effective pasteurization conditions for organisms present in milk.
