Decimal Reduction time is a measurement of What percentage of a microbial population is removed during a given antimicrobial treatment. How long it takes for a given treatment to kill 10% of a microbial population. How long it takes for a given treatment to kill 90% of a microbial population. How long it takes for a given treatment to kill 100% of a microbial population. How long it takes to inhibit the growth of 99% of a population.

Food Microbiology

The subdivision of microbiology that deals with the interaction between microbes and food particles are called food microbiology. This scientific study incorporates both beneficial and harmful microbes and their effect on the food production, food storage, and health of human beings.
