Question

In sterilization process, death rate is almost _______ the initial number of viable cells.

• A. Proportional to
• B. Half of
• C. Double
• D. Four times

Hint:

Because thermal death follows first-order kinetics, complete sterilization (zero survival) is mathematically impossible, which is why safety is calculated using a probability of survival (e.g., 12D concept).
