decrease with increase in pasteurisation temperature
|
|
|
is not influenced by the species of the microorganism
|
|
|
increase with increase in sterilisation temperature
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -pasteurization, heat-treatment process that destroys pathogenic microorganisms in certain foods and beverages.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heat sterilization is performed mainly by ‘moist’ or ‘dry’ heat. For ‘moist’ heat, temperatures of approximately 121–129 °C with pressure are used, whereas ‘dry’ heat requires temperatures from 176 to 232 °C for longer duration.
