Abstract
The effect of ultrasonic treatment on the heat resistance of Bacillus spores differs widely both with the species and the strain tested. Ultrasonic waves do not affect the heat resistance of some strains, whereas they greatly reduce that of other strains of the same species. The heat-sensitizing effect of ultrasonic waves is more pronounced when short heating periods are used. Ultrasonic treatment does not seem to affect the "Z value".Mesh:
