Abstract:

Three key conditions for inactivating Bacillus coagulans spore by ultra-high pressure combined with heating, such as pressure, preheating temperature and pressure-holding time were optimized using BP network in this study. Results indicated that BP network was capable of accurate prediction and the trained BP neural network was able to optimize and simulate the inactivation process of Bacillus coagulans spore by ultra-high pressure combined with heating. The best inactivation effect was obtained by preheating Bacillus coagulans suspension at 80 ℃ and then pressurizing it at 550 MPa for 20 min, and the number of Bacillus coagulans spore was decreased by 4.97 log unit, which was 0.16 log unit higher than the result from orthogonal test.

Key words: BP network, ultra-high pressure, Bacillus coagulans spore
