Occasionally, commercially prepared foods are involved. Though spores of C. botulinum are heat-resistant, the toxin produced by bacteria growing out of the spores under anaerobic conditions is destroyed by boiling (for example, at internal temperature greater than 85 °C for 5 minutes or longer). 10 янв. 2018 г.
What cooking temperature kills botulism?
botulinum can only be destroyed under proper temperature and pressure for sufficient time. Temperatures in the range of 240°F to 250°F (115°C to 121°C) are needed in order to kill spores (USDA 2015).
How do you kill botulism in meat?
Normal thorough cooking (pasteurisation: 70°C 2min or equivalent) will kill Cl. botulinum bacteria but not its spores. To kill the spores of Cl. botulinum a sterilisation process equivalent to 121°C for 3 min is required.
