A review on Salmonella thermal inactivation kinetic parameters
determined in various high moisture foods of animal origin is
presented in Table 1. Thermal death time method was used to
determine the kinetic parameters. Published thermal resistances are
listed from higher to lower D- and z-values (Table 1). Most of the
experiments were carried out with a cocktail of various Salmonella
serovars isolated from contaminated foods or animal products. Those
thermal resistances are mainly affected by the Salmonella serotypes
