FIGURE 1.
Effect of CAPP treatment of E. coli B174 on lentil seeds. Inoculation was performed either as high initial inoculation (5.0 × 109 CFU/g) or low initial inoculation (1.6 × 105 CFU/g) prior to treatment of seeds for 3, 5, or 10 min in the DCSBD. Logarithmic reductions were represented as log10 CFU/g ± standard deviation. The limit of detection was 10 CFU/sample for low initial inoculation and 100 CFU/sample for high initial inoculation. Logarithmic reduction below the limit of detection is indicated by an asterisk.
