The length of time required to kill 90% of bacteria at a given temperature in a hot-air oven is the thermal death time. True False
Keemin L.
Are the statements true or false? 1. Thermal death time is the heating time required to give commercial sterility. 2. Thermal death time does not depend on the initial microbial load. 3. The D value does not depend on the initial microbial load. 4. The D value of a microorganism is independent of the food item. 5. If the number of microbes in a process has to be reduced from an initial load of 106 to a final 104, the required thermal death time will be 10D.
