[en] Surface fouling is a chronic problem in processing industries. The hygienic state of surfaces is thus a critical parameter with respect to the performance of the production process and to the final quality of the product. For this reason, cleaning and disinfection are essential. The most important first step in implementing a fouling mitigation strategy through cleaning and disinfection is to understand the mechanisms of fouling. This allows ways to be found to reduce, even to eliminate fouling, or to improve the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection. This paper reviews the relevant literature and summarizes a selection of soil model systems used to aid such improvements. Organic, mineral, microbial, particulate, and composite soil model systems are presented. These soil model systems are of particular relevance in the study of fouling, cleaning or soil adhesion onto solid surfaces in the laboratory environment. The key features of the models, as well as their practical advantages and disadvantages, are described and discussed. [fr] L’encrassement des surfaces est un problème chronique dans les industries de transformation. L’état de propreté de surface est donc un paramètre critique à l’égard des performances du processus de production et de la qualité finale d’un produit. De ce fait, le nettoyage et la désinfection sont indispensables. La stratégie la plus importante de réduction de l’encrassement, d’optimisation du nettoyage et de la désinfection est de comprendre leurs mécanismes. Ceci permet de trouver des moyens de réduction, voire d’élimination de l’encrassement ou d’amélioration des procédés de nettoyage et de désinfection. Ce document présente une synthèse de différents modèles de salissures répertoriés dans la littérature spécialisée consacrée à l’étude des phénomènes d’encrassement et de nettoyage. Les modèles de salissures organiques, minérales, microbiologiques, particulaires et de salissures composées sont présentés. Ces modèles sont particulièrement pertinents pour l’étude en laboratoire de l’encrassement ou de l’adhérence des salissures et le nettoyage des surfaces. Les principales caractéristiques de ces modèles de salissures ainsi que leurs avantages et leurs inconvénients, l’application des résultats de laboratoires en industrie sont examinés et discutés.
