Abstract:A suitable time temperature process for packaging small potatoes in flexible pouches is described. Spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus were inoculated onto the surface of peeled potatoes in flexible pouches. These were evacuated, heat sealed and heated in a steam retort modified to allow a water cooking process with an air overpressure of ca. 68·95 kPa (10 lbf/in2). The D and z values determined in the retort were confirmed by parallel heat‐resistance tests with spores in glass ampoules held in an oil bath. … Show more
