Modeling of electron irradiation treatment on kinetics of bacterial content in minced fish

This study illustrates the mathematical modeling of the experimental study on the impact of 1 MeV electrons at different doses on the concentration of bacteria in the homogenate of minced trout during 15 days of storage at a temperature of (2-4)◦C. A mathematical model was constructed based on the general predator-prey model, which describes the change in the number of two species of bacterial populations under conditions of a limited nutrient resource over time. This model agrees well with the experimentally obtained dependences of the change in the concentration of viable cells in minced fish homogenate after exposure to accelerated electrons in various doses.
