(a)
To provide:
A reason for whether or not heat is a selective microbial control agent.
Introduction:
Disinfection is a process of removal or cleaning of microorganisms from the surface. It is done by using disinfectants. The disinfectants destroy, inactivate or kill microorganisms. It is a type of chemical agent.
(b)
To explain:
The concept of TDT and TDP and also discuss one example of these measurements that can be modified to produce food for human consumption.
Introduction:
Bacteria are defined as small, microscopic, prokaryotic and unicellular organisms that are not seen by naked eyes. They are found everywhere in nature and hence they are called ubiquitous.
To determine:
The minimum TDTs for vegetative cells and endospores.
Introduction:
The term TDT, which stands for Thermal death time, is defined as the minimal length of time required to kill bacteria in a liquid culture at a given temperature. It is a type of sterilization technique.
