  • Abstract
    The combined effects of temperature, pH and organic acids (lactic, acetic and propionic) on the growth kinetics of Listeria innocua ATCC 33090 were studied. First, a multiplicative model was built assuming independent effects of all environmental factors. Thus, the model was expanded by the inclusion of a novel term describing the effects of interactions on the growth/no growth limits. The proposed approach allows an accurate description of the boundary between growth and no growth of Listeria.
