Testing foods for pathogenic and spoilage bacteria is the cornerstone to ensuring a safe and wholesome food supply. The methods for monitoring of microbial contamination are based on the following principles: → Cultivation ...

Hidden Markov Models (HMM) are used to detect abnormal operation of dynamic processes and diagnose sensor and actuator faults. The method is illustrated by monitoring the operation of a pasteurization plant and diagnosing ...

Multivariate statistical process monitoring (SPM), and fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods are developed to monitor the critical control points (CCPs) in a continuous food pasteurization process. Multivariate SPM ...

Rheological properties were determined at 4°C (refrigerated temperature), 25°C (room temperature), 60°C (pasteurization temperature) for liquid whole egg (LWE) and liquid egg yolk (LEY) and 4, 25, 55.6°C for liquid egg ...
