Show transcribed image text A thermal process is being used to reduce the microbial population on product contact surfaces of the packages needed for aseptic packaging of the liquid product. The spoilage microorganism has a D_121 = 10 min and a z = 8 degree C. The microbial population on the surface is 100 per cm2 and the product contact surface area is 8 cm^2 for each package. 9D process has been recommended. Determine the process time for the containers at 140 degree C. Estimate the number of containers with spoilage based on survivors on the package surface when 10 million packages have been filled.
