The bioinactivation package implements several function for the modelization of microbial inactivation in R. It includes:

• functions for the prediction of isothermal or non-isothermal microbial inactivation.
• functions for the adjustment of inactivation models to isothermal experiments.
• functions for the fitting of inactivation models to dynamic experiments.
• functions for the calculation of prediction intervals for isothermal or non-isothermal microbial inactivation processes.

The inactivation models most commonly used in industry and academia are implemented in this package:

• Bigelow’s model.
• Peleg’s model.
• Mafart’s model.
• Geeraerd’s model.

Furthermore, this package includes some training data sets mimicking isothermal and non-isothermal inactivation experiments.
