Describe the hurdle concept.   One preservative isn't enough for all microbial safety and stability.  
🗑
T or F: Growth, survival, and inactivation of microorganisms in foods are not reproducable responses.   False  
🗑
A _____ model can quantitatively describe the combined effect of environmental parameters.   mathematical  
🗑
What are two types of tests used in predictive microbiology?   Challenge testing, storage trials.  
🗑
Define a primary model.   Describe changes in microbial numbers with type (eg. D-value).  
🗑
Define a secondary model.   Describe how parameters in a primary model change with different environmental parameters (eg. Z-value).  
🗑
Define a tertiary model.   Describe secondary models with user-friendly interface for non-modelers.  
🗑
What is the flow from data generation to modeling?   Data generation, primary modeling, secondary modeling, product validation, tertiary modeling.  
🗑
Define thermal death time.   The time necessary to kill a given number of microorganisms at a specified temperature.  
🗑
T or F: Thermal death is first order process.   True  
🗑
Microbial death rate due to heat can be expressed as a function of____ and ____ under a given condition.   time, temperature  
🗑
T or F: Rate of cell death is directly dependent on the number of viable cells present at a given lethal temperature.   True  
🗑
Define decimal reduction time (D-value).   Time at a given temperature for a microbial population to be reduced by 1-log.  
🗑
Define Z-value.   Temperature change which results in a 1-log change in D-value; calculated from log-D versus temperature.  
🗑
How would the thermal death curve appear if the population contained a mix of species?   Tailing would be observed.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
