Multiscale modelling of microbial colony dynamics. KU Leuven
PROBLEM STATEMENT AND OBJECTIVES. A thorough control of food quality and safety is indispensable in the food industry to satisfy consumer and government requirements. For this purpose, predictive microbiology develops mathematical models to predict microbial growth and inactivation. Traditionally, these models apply a macroscopic approach considering global microbial population properties in a homogeneous liquid environment.
