What is the optimum growth temperature?
35-37

Are they killed by pasteurization?
yes
Are they sensitive to low pH?
yes
What pH do they grow in?
4.5 - 9.5
What is the lowest aw they can tolerate?
0.94
What happens to heat resistance as water activity decreases?
Heat resistance increases (logic : when its hot, the tolerable water it can grow in decreases because heat removes water)
What can affect heat resistance?
Types of solute in food
Can cells survive in frozen and dried states for a long time? (ex: chicken nuggest, breaded chicken strips, chocolate)
Yes
What is the Aw like in chclate?
lw
Why can’t yu inactivate salmnella using heat?
-gives it a burned taste
