Modeling and predicting inactivation of Escherichia coli under isobaric and dynamic high hydrostatic pressure

There is now enough evidence that a log-linear isothermal survival curve of bacterial cells is an exception rather than a rule and the same can be said about semilogarithmic survival curves of organisms exposed to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). Therefore accurate description of survival curves with other modeling techniques is essential. Moreover, userfriendly software like Microsoft Excel® is more familiar than the other softwares and could help the people in the food industry to predict the nonisobaric inactivation of microorganisms.
