1. The following data were obtained from a thermal resistance experiment conducted on a
spore suspension at 112C:
2. The following data were obtained from a thermal resistance experiment conducted on a
spore suspension at 112C:
4. The decimal reduction times D for a spore suspension were measured at several
temperatures, as follows:
11. A canned food prior to processing contains 1000 spores per can. The spores have a D
value of 1.5 min at 121.1C. If the process is carried out to an equivalent process time of
10 min at 121.1C, what would be the probability of spoilage?
[2/10000]
12. If the most probable spore load in a product is 100 spores per can and the D0 = 1.5
min, calculate the time of heating at 121.1C necessary to achieve a probability of
spoilage from this organism of one in 105 cans. Under these conditions, the D0 of
Clostridium Botulinum Type B is 0.2 min. Is the calculated process time F0 equivalent to
or more than what is required for a 12D reduction of Clostridium Botulinum?
[F0 = 10.5 min]
13. What level of inoculation of PA 3679 (D0 = 1.2 min) is required such that a
probability of spoilage of one in 100 is attributed to PA 3679 would be equivalent to 12
D inactivation of Clostridium Botulinum? Assume the same temperature process and the
same z values for both organisms. The D0 value of Cl. Botulinum is 0.22 min.
[N0=1.6]
14. For an initial inoculum of 10 spores/g of product (D121C = 1.2 min), a spoilage rate of
one can in 105 is desired. Calculate an F value for the process that would give the desired
level of inactivation. Calculate F138C for a z value of 10C.
[F0=7.2 min F138,10=0.14 min]
15. For an initial inoculum of 100 spores/can of product (D121C = 1.5 min, z = 8C), a
spoilage rate of one can in 104 is desired. Calculate F115C value for the process that would
give the desired level of inactivation.
