Modelos matemáticos para el cálculo de la resistencia térmica de levaduras de jugo de naranja. Biología y Matemática integradas en clases de nivel superior. Mathematical Models for Orange Juice Yeast Thermal Resistance Calculation. Biology Blending with Mathematics in College Courses.

This article presents a proposal that was implemented in first year of a course that is part of a ter tiary education degree course with food technology specialization, in order to link Biology with Mathematics by means of Candida intermedia thermal resistance calculation, in orange juice with a soluble solids concentration of 52o Brix. In order to establish the link between the two sciences, mathematical models through which it was possible to find the temperatures and the times at which 10 ufc/ml would survive were looked for. To such end, different digital resources were used. Such use is explained in some cases.
