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: -Most bacteria that cause disease grow fastest in the temperature range between 41 and 135 degrees F, which is known as THE DANGER ZONE.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria can be classified by their optimal growth temperature. The following are the five classifications: Hyperthermophile (60 degrees C and upwards) Thermophile (optimal growth between 45 and 122 degrees)
Detailed explanation-4: -A hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments-from 60 °C (140 °F) upwards. An optimal temperature for the existence of hyperthermophiles is often above 80 °C (176 °F).
