Inactivation kinetics and thermodynamics assessments of Geobacillus stearothermophilus during thermal sterilization for products safety

Chemical kinetics and thermodynamics provide modes and mechanisms for the thermal death of microbial spores. In this study, the effect of thermal inactivation on Geobacillus stearothermophilus, a highly heat-resistant bacterial species, was studied over the temperature range of 95, 100, 105, and 110...
