Predictive Modelling Workshop for Industry

Course Info

Training provider: Enterprises University of Pretoria

Training Type: Online
Location: Online
Cost: R Contact for more information
On Demand
Course Duration: 1 Month


Gain knowledge on applying PFM to manage food safety and quality, and in areas like shelf-life prediction, HACCP, product development, and control measure validation. The course offers a balance of theory and hands-on practical training.

Course Description

Discover the emerging area of Predictive Food Microbiology (PFM) and how it encompasses mathematics, microbiology, engineering, and chemistry to develop mathematical models. With data-mining technology, these models predict microorganisms' responses to specified environmental variables. Learn how to apply these models for shelf-life prediction, HACCP, product development, and control measure validation in food safety and quality management. Join the two-day training delivered by predictive modelling experts and members of the ICPMF, covering theory and hands-on practice using mathematical models and software.

Course Outcomes

Upon completing this course, delegates will be able to:

  1. Explain the fundamentals of classical and dynamic predictive microbiology and their importance in food safety and quality management.
  2. Apply predictive decision support tools, such as the software Microhibro, to validate the shelf-life of food products.
  3. Collect evidence in a validation study to determine the validity of critical control measures.
  4. Evaluate the use and interest of risk-based modelling tools for food safety management in the French Dairy Sector.
  5. Identify and use user-friendly tools for modelling and applying inactivation models in the food industry.
  6. Develop an understanding of the operationalisation of predictive microbiology and what it takes to implement these tools in real-world settings.

Prerequisites

Prospective delegates should have at least one year of formal tertiary education or adequate exposure to microbiology or food sciences in their work environment.


Who should attend

This training is designed for delegates in the food industry, including food scientists, microbiologists, quality control managers, food safety managers, food engineers, process engineers, food technologists, and food production managers. It may also be relevant for researchers, academics, and students who are interested in the emerging area of predictive food microbiology. If you are involved in food safety and quality management, or if you are responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of food products, this training will provide valuable insights and practical knowledge to help you apply predictive modelling in your work.
