CONTROL BY HEAT 461<br />

Figure 32.1 Graphical presentation of decimal reduction time (D). The graph also illustrates<br />

the number of D required with high and low populations of bacteria with the same<br />

heat sensitivity (a and a1) to obtain a desired survivor level (say 10 1 /g or /ml) and<br />

different D values for two bacterial species with different heat sensitivities at 65ºC<br />

(a and b).<br />

Figure 32.2 Hypothetical thermal death time curve. D, decimal reduction time; Z, ºC required<br />

for the thermal death time curve to transverse over a log 10 cycle.<br />
