Growth rates (k in 1/days) and final population (Nmax in logCFU/g) of total viable count and yeasts and molds in strawberries stored at 10 °C using conventional PVC and SFMPI-, SFMPI-NCC and SFMPI-BNC-based biofilms (Mean values ± standard error based on the statistical variation in the kinetic parameters of the Baranyi growth model-regression analysis).
| Total viable count | Yeasts and molds | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| PVC | 1.444 ± 0.374 | 5.1 ± 0.1 | 1.825 ± 0.431 | 5.3 ± 0.2 |
| SFMPI | 0.147 ± 0.022 | 4.5 ± 0.1 | 0.336 ± 0.138 | 4.1 ± 0.2 |
| SFMPI-NCC | 0.248 ± 0.037 | 4.5 ± 0.1 | 0.330 ± 0.056 | 4.4 ± 0.1 |
| SFMPI-BNC | 0.275 ± 0.179 | 3.6 ± 0.2 | 0.094 ± 0.037 | 3.6 ± 0.1 |
