Summary

Listeria monocytogenes is especially important because it can grow at storage temperatures recommended for milk (lower or equal to 7 deg C). Growth of L. monocytogenes in fluid milk depends on the varying temperatures it is exposed to in the postpasteurization phase. Growth data for L. monocytogenes in sterilized whole milk were collected at 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 deg C. Specific growth rate and maximum population density were calculated at each temperature using these data. These data were used to develop a dynamic growth model. Results of the modelisation are compared with experimental data.
