The growth of Brochothrix thermosphacta affect by temperatures (0, 2, 5, 7 and 10C) were studied in laboratory medium. Growth curves were fitted using logistic, Gompertz and Baranyi models. Statistical characteristics like r 2 , mean square error, bias factor and accuracy factor were using for comparison of these models. Based on the criteria, the Gompertz described the data best, Baranyi performed the predicting best. The maximum growth rates obtained from primary model were then modeled as a function of temperature using the square root model. Statistically for the secondary model, the bias and accuracy factors are 0.9978, 0.9943 and 0.9712, and 1.0513, 1.0639 and 1.2225 for logistic, Gompertz and Baranyi, respectively, which may indicate that Baranyi model fitted and performed best of the others. The 95% confidence limits for a new prediction were estimated for each validation temperatures condition using a SPSS procedure.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Brochothrix thermosphacta was isolated from chilled pork used for growth modeling in broth (tryptone soya broth) at pH 7 and NaCl 0.5% (w/w), at various temperatures. Data obtained from experiments were then fitted by three types of primary models, to estimate the maximum growth rate. A secondary model was created, describing how the maximum growth rate responds to the temperatures. The goodness‐of‐fit and statistical characteristics of the equations were tested.
