Résumé

Integrating-type time-temperature indicators (TTIs) may be utilized to warn food processors and consumers about hazardous storage conditions. As an example of how integrated TTIs could be manufactured to emulate an infinite set of time-temperature situations, a set of conditions which have supported C. botulinum growth and toxin production was compiled. The time-temperature curve representing conservative times required for toxin formation was constructed with data from literature. This set of critical time-temperature can be used to predict combinations of incubation times and storage temperatures that represent a potential health risk from C. botulinum in foods. A TTI could be then constructed to indicate deviation from such a given set of conditions.
