Multi scale modeling of biochemical dynamics in structured media KU Leuven
Microbial food safety is an important societal issue. Predictive microbiology generates mathematical models to describe microbial behavior in food by combining microbial knowledge and mathematical techniques. Current macroscopic models enable an accurate description for liquid (homogeneous) systems, but often fail when applied to real food due to their solid(like) character. In these cases, colony formation typically arises, inducing spatial ...
