Mathematical model to predict Listeria growth in fresh-cut melons
date:Feb 27, 2014
ture. The model has been compared to other prior mathematical models used both for Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 detection and for the predictive microbiology on L. monocytogenes kinetics (ComBase).

The square root model developed in this study predicts:

1. A faster growth of L. monocytogenes compared to Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 at temperature below 20C;
2. An increase of 4 log CFU after 15 days of storage at 5C, and of 1 log CFU after 6 days of storage at 4C.
