Metselaar_iso: Isothermal Metselaar model

In albgarre/bioinactivation: Mathematical Modelling of (Dynamic) Microbial Inactivation

Isothermal Metselaar model

Description

Returns the predicted logarithmic reduction in microbial count according to Metselaars's model for the time, temperature and model parameters given.

Usage

Metselaar_iso(time, temp, D_R, z, p, Delta, temp_ref)

Arguments

time	numeric indicating the time at which the prediction is taken.
temp	numeric indicating the temperature of the treatment.
D_R	numeric defining the delta-value at the reference temperature.
z	numeric defining the z-value.
p	numeric defining shape factor of the Weibull distribution.
Delta	numeric reparametrization factor
temp_ref	numeric indicating the reference temperature.

Value

A numeric with the predicted logarithmic reduction (log10(N/N0)).
