Experimental data relating to the destruction of B. abortus (2308) in milk by heat are presented.
It was observed that B. abortus (2308) was killed in 23 minutes at 142.7°F. and in 14 seconds at 161.6°F. when the preheating time was zero.
A practical mathematical method for evaluating the lethal effects of the preheating, holding and cooling parts of the heating curve on the organism is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
