Heat resistance microorganisms

As well as determining how much heat has been applied to a food in a process, it is obviously vital to know the susceptibility of the microorganisms in the product to that heat. This is not straight forward, as organisms vary considerably in their heat resistance, not just between species, but also between strains; the environment (e.g. water activity and water content, fat content, acidity) that the organisms are in or have been previously subject to also has a major effect.

At Campden BRI we have a wealth of experience in these issues and can help you determine whether the process you are using will be sufficient to achieve your aims.
