Table 2. Developed predictive models for inactivation of E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes

Developed predictive models1)
E. coli O157:H7 log(N)=log10(N0)(t0.0022h20.515h+31.491)0.35
S. Typhimurium log(N)=log10(N0)(t0.0018h20.2546h+15.444)0.54
L. monocytogenes log(N)=log10(N0)(t0.0026h20.4482h+27.606)0.51
N0, initial population of pathogen; N, population of pathogen; h, relative humidity (%); t, time (min).
