Studies on the Kinetics of the Heat Sterilization

가열멸균의 동력학적연구

The destruction rate of microorganisms by heat follows the first order reaction. In this experiments, the calculated sterilization velocity constants of Escherichia Coli are 1.97 * $10^{-2}min^{-1}.(45{\deg}$ C), 9.53 * $10^{-2}min^{-1}.(55{\deg}$ C) and $1.858min^{-1}.(70{\deg}$ C), 2.89 * $10^{-2}min^{-1}.(80{\deg}$ C), 1.32 * $10^{-1}min^{-1}.(90{\deg}$ C), 2.87 * $10^{-1}min^{-1}.(95{\deg}$ C), 7.91 * $10^{-1}min^{-1}.(100{\deg}$ C) and $1.777min^{-1}.(105{\deg}$ C). In the results, the activation energy of E. Coli is 62.0 Cal $mole^{-1}.(45{\deg}-60-{\deg})$, that of B. Subtilis are 17.8 Cal $mole^{-1}(60{\deg}-80{\deg}$ C) and 47.1 Cal $mole^{-1}(90{\deg}-105{\deg}$ C).
