Q62: Which of the following value is related to sterilization process? - Fluid Milk Processing, Dairy Products Manufacture, Sensory Evaluation & Packaging - ICAR AIEEA PG Dairy Technology 09 July 2023 (Shift 1) Paper | Agrigyan

Lethality and thermal processing parameters:

• value is an activation energy or enzyme metric.
• The F-value ($F_0$) represents the equivalent heating time in minutes at $121.1^\circ\text{C}$ ($250^\circ\text{F}$) required to achieve a specified reduction in viable spores of a reference microorganism (e.g., Clostridium botulinum with $z = 10^\circ\text{C}$), which quantifies total thermal lethality during commercial sterilization.
• G-value relates to radiation chemical yield.
• H-value relates to pulping kinetics.
