Answer:
Time in hours
[tex]\frac{543}{60} \\9.05[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Decimal reduction time for endospores of Bacillus cereus in milk [tex]= 36.2[/tex] minutes
Temperature at which bacillus endospores are reduced [tex]= 95[/tex]°C
Population of endospores to be reduced [tex]= 1015[/tex]
Targeted population of endospores [tex]= 1[/tex]
So the total time taken to reduce population of 1015 endospores to 1 endospore is equal to
[tex]36.2 * 15\\= 543[/tex] minutes
Time in hours
[tex]\frac{543}{60} \\9.05[/tex]
