Detailed explanation-1: -Food poisoning bacteria grow best at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C. This is called the Temperature Danger Zone. Keeping potentially hazardous foods cold (below 5°C) or hot (above 60°C) stops the bacteria from growing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thermophiles are those organisms which grow above 40 °C, and which have optimal growth temperatures between 50 and 55 °C (Gleeson et al., 2013).
Detailed explanation-3: -The temperature range in which most bacteria grow is between 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) and 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Raw and cooked foods should not be kept in this danger zone any longer than absolutely necessary. Undercooking or improper processing of home-canned foods can cause very serious food poisoning.
