Effect of lactose and milk protein on thermal resistance of Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 and Salmonella in dairy powders

Microbial challenge studies using nonpathogenic surrogates provide a practical means for validating thermally based pathogen controls for low-moisture foods. Because the relative thermal resistance, or kill ratio, of Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 (a nonpathogenic surrogate) to Salmonella is great...
