Q: B4e. How to do it? "The canning temperature can be raised 15°C without any adverse effect on the quality of the canned hams. Hence, the technician would like to use l20°C in the canning process to treat this lot of contaminated ham. Calculate the treatment time required at 120°C to achieve (i) the acceptable cell density for this contaminated lot and (ii) the acceptable cell densities of the microorganisms of the regular lot of ham after canning with this new process. Justify your answer and explain. (10 marks)"
A: Use the Z value to calculate the new D value at 120C. Use this new D value to calculate your treatment timed for the targeted reductions for bacteria and for spores. You need to calculate twice, one for the contaminated lot and one for the regular lot to complete your answer.
