A number of parameters have been tested to develop models to predictive shelf life of pasteurized milk. The most commons are:

  1. Initial microbial count, psychrotroph count and spoilage microflora count
  2. Type of microbial contamination
  3. Age of raw milk
  4. Protease activity, endotoxin activity, impedance detection time
  5. Storage temperature of pasteurized milk

Dear Sir,

Thanks for the valuable suggestions on the mentioned topic. I am having few more clarifications regarding this:

1. Which kind of software generally we require? Are they available in the market?

2. What would be the sample size to fit the kinetic mathematical modelling?

3. Have you conducted this kind of study in your Laboratory?

4. What are the instruments basically we require to carry our in our Laboratory?

regards
