Question 1
In thermal food preservation kinetics, what does the decimal reduction time (D-value) specifically represent?
Correct Answer:
The time in minutes required at a given constant temperature to reduce the surviving microbial population by 90% (one logarithmic cycle)
Question 2
A scheduled thermal process uses a 12D target for a microorganism whose D-value at 121.1°C is 0.21 minutes. What equivalent process time at 121.1°C does that target represent?
Correct Answer:
2.52 minutes
Question 3
A target spoilage spore in a vegetable broth has a D121.1°C of 1.5 minutes and a z-value of 10°C. If the retort temperature is lowered from 121.1°C to 111.1°C, what is the new D-value at 111.1°C?
Correct Answer:
15.0 minutes
Question 4
Which processing parameter combination correctly describes high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization of liquid whole milk under standard Swiss and European dairy standards?
Correct Answer:
At least 72°C for 15 seconds, or another validated time-temperature combination with an equivalent effect
Question 5
What is the primary scientific principle governing High-Pressure Processing (HPP / Pascalization) in non-thermal food preservation?
Correct Answer:
Isostatic pressure is transmitted instantaneously and uniformly throughout the entire food matrix regardless of shape or volume, disrupting non-covalent bonds without breaking covalent bonds
