The decimal reduction time for endospores of Bacillus cereus in milk is 36.2 minutes at 95°C. How long should it take to reduce a population of 1015 endospores to 1 endospore?

Time in hours

Explanation:

Given

Decimal reduction time for endospores of Bacillus cereus in milk   minutes

Temperature at which bacillus endospores are reduced °C

Population of endospores to be reduced

Targeted population of endospores

So the total time taken to reduce population of 1015 endospores to 1 endospore is equal to

minutes

Time in hours
