title: Predictive modelling: applications in the dairy industry.
abstract: 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.
