IAFP's Software Fair Series Part 2 - USDA Integrated Pathogen Modeling Program (IPMP)

Apr 19, 2022 (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern Time)

Webinar Description

Organized by: The Microbial Modeling and Risk Analysis PDG and the International Committee of Predictive Modeling in Food (ICPMF)

This series of Software Fair webinars aim to spread knowledge about the capacity and usefulness of these tools in industrial food safety and quality applications. The Software Fair webinars have the objective to disseminate the benefits of predictive microbiology, elaborate on its practical principles, and pave the way for the effective use of user-friendly tools; encompassing predictive modeling background in solving practical industrial (e.g., safe product formulations, shelf-life determination, etc.) and/or regulatory-relevant case studies (e.g., exposure assessment, compliance with microbiological criteria, etc.), in a more routine base. It is intended that each webinar presents a brief description of the capabilities of the existing tool(s), and practical case studies or applications; followed by answers to questions/comments from the audience.

Part 2: Integrated Pathogen Modeling Program (IPMP) is a family of Windows-based desktop data analysis and prediction tools specifically developed for predictive microbiology research and application. The tools are designed to analyze individual isothermal growth and survival curves for primary models and the effect of temperature (secondary models) and also for one-step kinetic analysis that combines both primary and secondary models to minimize the residual errors globally. Integrated Pathogen Modeling Platform is a new online data analysis and prediction tool that incorporates the features and functionalities of desktop applications but is specifically designed for dynamic prediction of the growth and survival of foodborne pathogens throughout the supply chain.
