Food safety is a public concern increasing in recent years. For achievement of microbiological food safety, the combination of predictive microbiology and heat transfer modeling is an emerging and important new field with broad applications to the food processing industries. Based on the concept of dynamic prediction, we developed some food safety assessment tools in food processing as follows : (1) development of design optimization method for cold store from a food safety standpoint ; (2) development of a stochastic prediction model for microbial growth/inactivation ; (3) investigation of biofilm formation on food processing surfaces ; (4) development of microbial inactivation and removal methods in food processing.
