Summary

The combined effects of different temperatures (10.5-24.5°C), pH level (5.5-7.5), sodium chloride levels (0.25-6.25%) and sodium nitrite levels (0-200 ppm) on the predicted growth rate and lag-time of Leuconostoc mesenteroides under aerobic and anaerobic conditions was studied. The response surface model developed provided reliable estimates of the three kinetic parameters studied, with a bias factor between 0.86 and 1.18 and an accuracy factor between 1.13 and 1.31, in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. For both conditions, standard error of prediction values ranged between 15.62 and 27.63%. The developed models are a valuable tool, enabling its application for shelf-life estimation of a food product. [Reprinted with permission from Elsevier. Copyright, 2005].
