Abstract: The predictive microbiology describes the growth and death of microorganisms by mathematical model, and prediction and evaluation of the shelf life and safety of food. In recent years, probiotics-derived food has gradually become a new popular type of food. The application of predictive microbiology in probiotics plays a positive role in the development of related functional foods. In this paper, the classification and characteristics of predictive microbiological mathematical model, the concept, classification and functional characteristics of probiotics and their application in food were briefly summarized. Furthermore, the application of predictive microbiology in probiotics proliferation and culture, fermentation process optimization, drying process optimization, product storage, etc was introduced, and its prospect was put forward.

Key words: Predictive microbiology, probiotics, application, model
