Fig. 5. HPP inactivation of C. perfringens spores in poultry meat. Spores from a cocktail
of 5 food poisoning isolates were incubated for 15–30 min at 55 C in meat with no
germinants (white and horizontal bars) and with 50 mM AK (grey and black bars) and
pressurized for 10 min at 586 MPa at: 23 C (white and grey bars); 73 C (horizontallline and black bars). Survivors were determined as described in Materials and
methods.
