Summary Introduction
To answer:
Time taken in reduction of 100 (1014) to 10 viable cells.
Introduction:
Sterilization by heat is one of the key factors in eradicating the microbes. The heat has the capability to denature the microbes' proteins, altering their cell wall, and causing irreversible damage to their
