UGPM: A Food Microbial Growth Simulation Software:

UGPM is a tertiary model named "Unified Growth Prediction Model" based on Baranyi and Roberts (1994) primary model, which simulates growth of specific spoilage organisms under isothermal and dynamic temperature conditions.It is developed in order to assist food industries in decision making regarding the safety and quality of their products. Specifically, the software may be used in combination with traceability and temperature-monitoring systems in the chill-chain and rapidly assess the impact of temperature history on the freshness and/or safety level of the products
