Validation of a polynomial regression model: the thermal inactivation of Bacillus subtilis spores in milk

Aims: The predicted survival of Bacillus subtilis 168 spores from a polynomial regression equation was validated in milk. Methods and Results: Bias factor suggested as an index of model performance was used to validate the polynomial model predictions in ultrahigh temperature (UHT) treated and steri...
