%0 Journal Article %A Palop Gómez, Alfredo %T Thermoresistometer “Mastia” for microbial heat resistance determinations under controlled conditions of temperature %D 2009 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10317/1055 %X The thermoresistometer Mastia enables to estimate heat resistance under isothermal and non-isothermal heating conditions as well as more complex heating profiles, like those usually applied in the food industry. Its design allows to work with liquid heating media such as buffers, liquid foods or foods containing small particles. It also allows to inoculate microorganisms or compounds and to obtain samples in order to study the changes on the quantity or the quality of these substances along with the thermal treatment. In this way, the intensity of the thermal treatments applied can be calculated and, as a consequence, the microbiological safety and nutritional quality of the food produces obtained can be estimated. With this technological offer we try to collaborate with licence agreement and comercial agreement with technical assistance. %K Microbial heat resistance %K Controlled of temperature %K Tecnología de los alimentos %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
