Abstract: | The assessment and optimization of food heating processes require knowledge of the thermal resistance of target spores. Although the concept of spore resistance may seem simple, the establishment of a reliable quantification system for characterizing the heat resistance of spores has proven far more complex than imagined by early researchers. This paper points out the main difficulties encountered by reviewing the historical works on the subject. |
