Dataset on the use of the Ratkowsky model for describing the influence of storage temperature on microbial growth in hake fillets ( Merluccius merluccius ) stored under MAP.

This article presents the results obtained after applying the Ratkowsky model for developing secondary models describing the influence of storage temperature on microbial growth in hake fillets packaged under a modified atmosphere (MAP) rich in CO2 (50% CO2/50% N2). For this purpose the growth parameters (λ, μmax) already calculated in the related article “Modelling microbial growth in Modified-Atmosphere-Packed hake (Merluccius merluccius) fillets stored at different temperatures” [1] were used. The data include the fit and goodness of the fit parameters calculated as well as the comparison between fitted and observed data.
