Mathematical model

Mathematical expression

Linear model

\(y\left( t \right) = \mu_{max} t + y_{max}\)

Baranyi’s model

\(y\left( t \right) = y_{max} + {\text{ln}}\left( {\frac{{ - 1 + e^{{\mu_{max} \lambda }} + e^{{\mu_{max } t}} }}{{\left( { - 1 + e^{{\mu_{max} t}} } \right) + e^{{\left( {\mu_{max} \lambda + y_{max} - y_{0} } \right)}} }}} \right)\)

Logistic modified model

\(y\left( {t_{max} } \right) = \frac{A}{{1 + e^{{\left[ {\frac{{4\mu_{max} }}{A}\left( {\lambda - T} \right) + 2} \right]}} }}\)
