Summary

Inactivation to undetectable levels by hydrostatic pressure alone requires 400 to 600 MPa. E. coli growth was delayed with increasing of applied pressure and the AIT concentration added subsequently. The bactericidal effects of pressurization with the addition of AIT at 4 or 40 °C were greater than at 20 °C, and all bacteria tested were effectively killed at 200 of 250 MPa with 10 to 80 µg/ml of AIT. Tests performed on a food product (Asazuke: low salt vegetables) gave the same kind of results.
