Figure 5.
Correlation of log(CFU cm−2) with exposure time.Post-thermal-shock CFU density on a log scale shows a better correlation with log (exposure time) (right) than with exposure time directly (left). Triangular point at 80 °C, 15 min is excluded from analysis for clarity; when included r2 values are 0.6572 (linear regression) and 0.6741 (log regression).
