Abstract

Heat resistance of bacterial spores is reduced by chemical pretreatment with peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The sporicidal effect of peracetic acid is better than that of hydrogen peroxide. Because of the rapid decomposition at higher temperatures, peracetic acid seems to be suitable as a chemical sterilant at lower temperatures. Additionally, it is removed more efficiently than hydrogen peroxide from the surface of packaging material.
