Determine D- and Zp- values of spores of C. botulinum type E strains in a model phosphate buffer system during HPP. Evaluate the effect of pressure (up to 827 MPa) and temperature (up to 120 C) on inactivation of spores of C. botulinum type A and nonproteolytic B in a model phosphate buffer system as well as a low-acid food product. Determine D- and Zp- values of spores of C. botulinum type A and nonproteolytic type B strains in a model phosphate buffer system during HPP.
