“…These conditions require modelling by a stochastic process for the primary model (Krieter, 2004;Latimer, Jaykus, Morales, Cowen, & Crawford-Brown, 2002;Whiting et al, 2000) and describing the effect of the environment on the probability of growth for the secondary model (Koutsoumanis, Kendall, & Sofos, 2004;Lanciotti, Sinigaglia, Gardini, Vannini, & Guerzoni, 2001). Non-thermal inactivation models are also being developed as new technologies emerge (Alvarez, Manas, Sala, & Condon, 2003;Erkmen, 2009b;Kim, Rhee, Kim, Lee, & Kim, 2007;Liao, Kong, Zhang, Liao, & Hu, 2010).…”
