From this perspective D-values can be understood as roughly analogous to half lives of radioactive substances however a half life involves a reduction of 50 rather. My starting bacterial counts were around 10 6 so I know that the log reduction is about 6 but I need to show how that math works out as my original protocol had the aforementioned formula leading to Log010 6Youcantdothat.
One log reduction shows the decrease in microbial population by 10 times.
Plot of the probability that the concentration in the food exceeds m 2 log 10 cfug when SD 06 log 10 cfug. Microbial load cfug or cfuml can be expressed as log10. Two-class concentration-based sampling plan OC curve using the mean log 10 concentration log 10 geometric mean on the X-axis for a sampling plan with n 5 c 0. To look at this in terms of percentage reduction alone which is how many regulatory bodies describe reductions in microorganisms here is a quick cheat sheet.
