Superdormant Spores as a Hurdle for Gentle Germination-Inactivation Based Spore Control Strategies

Bacterial spore control strategies based on the germination-inactivation principle can lower the thermal load needed to inactivate bacterial spores and thus preserve food quality better. However, the success of this strategy highly depends on the germination of spores, and a subpopulation of spores...
