When applicants propose reducing preservative concentration for ocular tolerability, panelists said new stability studies showing preservative content at the revised formulation are needed; if antioxidants compete with preservatives, include a study addressing that interaction in the application.

Researchers say a pomegranate peel and ginger-based packaging material helped preserve fruit quality and curb microbial growth.

Abstract. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are key parameters that determine the fate of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)

Fit growth curves to various known microbial growth models automatically to estimate growth parameters. Growth curves can be plotted with their uncertainty band. Growth models are: modified Gompertz model (Zwietering et al.
