For thermal inactivation of germinated spores in poultry meat,
samples were heat treated (80 C, 10 min) to activate bacterial
spores and then incubated for 15, 30 and 60 min in a water bath at
55 C. Meat samples were then placed in awater bath at 80 or 90 C
for 10 and 20 min and then cooled on ice for 10 min.
