A coupled finite element and microbial growth model for Listeria monocytogenes.

Summary

The study was aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of coupling a finite element model for heat transfer with a microbial growth model to get dynamic growth model. The specific objectives were to: 1) couple a finite element model for heat transfer with a growth model for L. monocytogenes based on the time-implicit form of the Gompertz function; and 2) predict spatial variation of growth of L. monocytogenes, using the coupled model, in a carton of pasteurized milk subject to a sinusoidal temperature profile.
