Type of monograph: Other
Summary
This book summarises the work of the Concerted Action "Shelf-life prediction for improved safety and quality of foods" funded by the European Union under the COPERNICUS programme (project number: CIPA-CT94-0120). The action covered a three year period to January 31st, 1998, and involved over 40 partners from 13 countries. Extract from the table of contents: quality management of food; database for fruit quality control in packing houses; quality changes and conditioning models; mathematical models for the prediction of quality: deterioration of Belgian endive; statistical distribution of bacterial lag times; prediction of microbiological shelf life of chilled-irradiated chicken; hazard identification; microorganisms on vegetables in a high-oxygen modified atmosphere system; predictive models describing the growth of Listeria monocytogenes; stability of dried apples during storage; air drying of vegetables; shelf-life extension of "sauerkraut" by "sous-vide" packaging; shelf-life prediction of Elsanta strawberries packed under modified atmospheres; shelf-life extention of Bulgarian yoghurt by using a novel environment-friendly air-cycle integrated system for thermal and refrigerated processing.
