For pressure assisted
thermal inactivation of germinated spores, meat samples
were heat treated (80 C,10 min), incubated in awater bath at 55 C
for 15 and 30 min. To inactivate germinated spores, meat samples
were pressure treated for 10 min at 586 MPa with an initial pressure
vessel temperature of 23 C and 73 C. Pressure come-up and
release time took less than 90 and 20 s, respectively
