{"product_id":"9780081009819","title":"Modeling in Food Microbiology: From Predictive Microbiology to Exposure Assessment","description":"Predictive microbiology primarily deals with the quantitative assessment of microbial responses at a macroscopic or microscopic level, but also involves the estimation of how likely an individual or population is to be exposed to a microbial hazard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides an overview of the major literature in the area of predictive microbiology, with a special focus on food. The authors tackle issues related to modeling approaches and their applications in both microbial spoilage and safety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFood spoilage is presented through applications of best-before-date determination and commercial sterility. Food safety is presented through applications of risk-based safety management. The different modeling aspects are introduced through probabilistic and stochastic approaches, including model and data uncertainty, but also biological variability.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures an extensive review of modelling terminology \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents examples of all available microbial models (i.e., growth, inactivation, growth\/no growth) and applicable software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevisits all statistical aspects related to exposure assessment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes realistic examples of implementing microbial spoilage and safety modeling approaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119239938288,"sku":"9780081009819","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780081009819_p0.jpg?v=1763638725","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780081009819","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
