predictive Microbiology and food safety
Reference Module in Food Science#R##N#Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology (Second Edition), 2014Co-Authors: T. Ross, Thomas A. Mcmeekin, József BaranyiAbstract:Predictive Microbiology is based on the premise that the responses of populations of microorganisms to environmental factors are reproducible and that by characterizing foods in terms of those factors, it is possible, from past observations, to predict the responses of those micro organisms in other analogous environments. This knowledge is summarized in mathematical models to enable prediction of the behavior of microbial populations in foods over time. Predictive Microbiology is a powerful tool to aid microbial food safety and quality assurance, both in its own right and to complement hazard analysis and critical control points programs, hurdle technology, and quantitative microbial risk assessment. This article considers the history, philosophy, and impetus of predictive Microbiology; principles of mathematical modeling; types of predictive Microbiology models; uses, strategies, and resources for ‘predictive Microbiology’; and assessment of the performance of ‘predictive Microbiology’ models.

predictive Microbiology quantitative science delivering quantifiable benefits to the meat industry and other food industries
Meat Science, 2007Co-Authors: Thomas A. McmeekinAbstract:Predictive Microbiology is considered in the context of the conference theme “chance, innovation and challenge”, together with the impact of quantitative approaches on food Microbiology, generally. The contents of four prominent texts on predictive Microbiology are analysed and the major contributions of two meat microbiologists, Drs. T.A. Roberts and C.O. Gill, to the early development of predictive Microbiology are highlighted. These provide a segue into R&D trends in predictive Microbiology, including the Refrigeration Index, an example of science-based, outcome-focussed food safety regulation. Rapid advances in technologies and systems for application of predictive models are indicated and measures to judge the impact of predictive Microbiology are suggested in terms of research outputs and outcomes. The penultimate section considers the future of predictive Microbiology and advances that will become possible when data on population responses are combined with data derived from physiological and molecular studies in a systems biology approach. Whilst the emphasis is on science and technology for food safety management, it is suggested that decreases in foodborne illness will also arise from minimising human error by changing the food safety culture.

Predictive Microbiology.
International journal of food microbiology, 1994Co-Authors: T. Ross, Thomas A. McmeekinAbstract:Predictive Microbiology is based upon the premise that the responses of populations of microorganisms to environmental factors are reproducible, and that by considering environments in terms of identifiable dominating constraints it is possible, from past observations, to predict the responses of those microorganisms. Proponents claim that predictive Microbiology offers many benefits to the practice of food Microbiology, and there is growing interest internationally. This review considers the origins, benefits and approaches to predictive Microbiology and critically considers limitations and potential solutions. It is suggested that the traditional delineation between kinetic and probabilistic models is artificial, and that the two approaches represent the opposite ends of a spectrum of modelling needs. It is concluded: that despite the complexity of many food systems predictive modelling can be successfully applied; that strategies based on predictive models can simplify problems and allow useful predictions and analyses to be made; that the full potential of the technique has not yet been realised; and that "predictive Microbiology" may be seen as providing a rational framework for understanding the microbial ecology of food.
