Summary Introduction

To determine:

The similarities and differences in moist and dry heat methods of control, and identify multiple examples of each.

Concept introduction

Methods of controlling microbial growth are divided into two categories: physical method and chemical control method. Microorganisms can adapt to severe physical conditions like light, temperature, pressure,and moisture. Physical control agents use these factors to control bacterial growth. Heat is the most prominent physical method of control.
