“…In a series of articles , and Demazeau (2003a, 2003b) studied the mpHHP inactivation of B. subtilis spores. The treatment of HHP (20 MPa, 37°C, 5 min) followed by another HHP treatment (500 MPa, 37°C, 5 min) which was applied 30 times could inactivate more than 6 log 10 of spores in solutions of insulin and heparin (Rigaldie et al, 2003a;2003b) whereas, the treatment of HHP (60 MPa, 25°C, 30 min) followed by another HHP treatment (500 MPa, 25°C, 30 min) which was applied 3 times could be used to inactivate 3 log 10 of B. subtilis spores (Rigaldie, Largeteau, et al, 2002a;2002b). According to these authors an induction phase using low pressure (20 MPa) was required for higher inactivation of spores.…”
