Detailed explanation-1: -These bacteria can grow at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C, which is known as the temperature danger zone. The fastest rate of growth is at around 37°C, the temperature of the human body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Danger Zone for bacterial growth is from 41°-135° F (-18°-5° C). Given the right conditions, bacteria may double every 15-20 minutes.
Detailed explanation-3: -At 100°C (or 212°F), water boils. Above 74°C (or 165°F), bacteria die, although spores and toxins may survive. Food that is being cooked or reheated should hit 74°C (or 165°F).
Detailed explanation-4: -As the name suggests, the danger zone refers to a temperature range that’s dangerous for foods to be held at. And that range is between 40°F and 140°F.
