Estimate the time required for sterilization


How can the D value be used to estimate the time required for sterilization? Suppose that you wanted to eliminate the risk of salmonellosis by heating your food (D60 = 0.4min, z value = 5.0). Calculate the 12D value at 60 degrees Celsius. How long would it take to achieve the same results by heating at 50, 55, and 65 degrees?
