Testing thermal death data for significant nonlograithmic behavior

A E HUMPHREY et al. Appl Microbiol. 1961 Jul.

Abstract

The thermal death behavior of Bacillus stearothermophilus spores in distilled water suspensions is nonlogarithmic in dynamic as well as static tests. The explanation of heat lags as the cause of nonlogarithmic behavior is incorrect.
