The impact of material properties, nutrient load and shear stress on biofouling in food industries

In the food industry, biofilm formation in pipes, equipment and cooling systems increases maintenance costs, decreases operational efficiencies and is a source of contamination. Shear stress, nutrient load and surface material are important variables affecting the biofilm onset in industry. In this...
