Evaluation of a new mathematical model to describe Clostridium perfringens growth during the cooling of cooked ground beef

A mathematical model previously developed to study microbial growth in food products under an isothermal environment was adapted to a time-varying temperature regime. The resulting model was applied to study the growth of Clostridium perfringens in meat products. This micro-organism is of particular...
