Question
Chapter 9, Problem 1CM
Summary Introduction
To fill:
The connect map that describes the control of microorganism through moist heat.
Concept introduction:
Moist heat has the ability to kill almost each microorganism in the vegetative state, thus it can use as a sterilization technique to sterilize various objects. As the sterilization with moist heat only involve steam and not any toxic material, it can be use to sterilize food also.

Other than the application of heat, name other methods of sterilization. Define the methods and give examples of materials sterilized in each method.
What appropriate method should be used in controlling microbial growth in each of the following?
1. Chicken serum
2. Fresh goat milk
3. Nutrient broth
4. Paracetamol
5. Inoculation loob
The thermal death time in an autoclave at 121oC for a microbial culture was thirteen minutes. The thermal death time for another sample of the same culture in a hot-air oven at 121oC was twenty-one minutes. Use your knowledge of what thermal death time measures to identify which method of heating was more effective against this microbial culture.
The hot-air oven treatment was more effective.
The autoclave treatment was more effective.
Both thermal death times were equally effective.
Not enough information is provided to determine effectiveness.
