Extract

The heat resistance of strains of lactobacilli previously isolated from Cheddar cheese was determined using a laboratory pasteurization test and a commercial pasteurizer.

The laboratory tests showed variations in heat resistance at 140° F. for 10 sec. which were not correlated with species, but at 150° F. for 10 sec., an average of 99·55% destruction occurred with all strains.

With the commercial pasteurizer, heating at 155° F. for 17 sec. caused a 99·99999–100% destruction, whilst heating at 160° F. for 17 sec. destroyed 100% of all strains of lactobacilli tested in every case.

We wish to thank Miss H. R. Chapman and Miss A. J. W. Harrison for operating the pasteurizer.
