10. A culture of Escherichia coli is heated at 60C and a series of samples taken at intervals to determine the numbers of survivors. From the data we can calculate the D-value for this strain. The D-value: A. Tells us how long we need to heat the bacteria at 60C to achieve the SAL B. Tells us how long the bacteria needs to be heated at 60C to achieve a 10-fold reduction in viable counts C. Allows us to predict how quickly the E. coli would die at 60C D. Allows us to predict how quickly E. coli would multiply at 60C E. Tells us the relationship between temperature and rate of killing
