Η πλατφόρμα Pathogens in Food είναι μια αναλυτική βάση δεδομένων για την παρουσία βιολογικών κινδύνων στα τρόφιμα. Είναι διαδραστικό και εύκολο στη χρήση, ενώ επιτρέπει τη συλλογή και ανάλυση δεδομένων από πολλαπλές δημοσιεύσεις. Προσφέροντας πολυάριθμες δυνατότητες επιλογών και προσαρμογών για τον χρήστη, το Pathogens in Food αποτελεί ταυτόχρονα εύχρηστο εργαλείο για τους ερευνητές, αλλά και έγκυρο μέσο ενημέρωσης των καταναλωτών.

Our recent publication on Geobacillus stearothermophilus and spoilage of non-refrigerated food.
Growth of G. stearothermophilus was developed in plant-based milk alternatives. Cardinal parameters of pH and water activity were estimated and validation was performed under non-isothermal conditions.
The developed model can be an effective tool for risk management of food spoilage.
Development and validation of an extended predictive model for the effect of pH and water activity on the growth kinetics of Geobacillus stearothermophilus in plant-based milk alternatives
The cardinal model for the effect of temperature on Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 growth developed by Kakagianni, Gougouli, & Koutsoumanis,…
