The purpose of this work was to compare inactivation of spores from the heat resistant Bacillus cereus strain F4430/73 by high pressure treatment at elevated temperature (HPHT) versus thermal treatment (HT). Spore suspensions were treated at 0.1 and 600MPa a 60 – 100 degree C for different times. HT inactivation showed a fast followed by a slow phase. Significant spore inactivation occurred during pressure come-up and equilibration time (2.0 to 4.1 log 10, from 70 to 100 degree C). HPHT inactivation proceeded considerably faster than HT inactivation, even in the slow phase which also followed first order kinetics (e.g D100 degree C (600 MPa) = 1.7 min, D100 degree C = 3.4 min). The data indicate a strong synergistic effect of HP and HT on inactivation of B. cereus spores.
