Calculator for determining the number of survivors of Listeria monocytogenes following a heat treatment

To use the calculator add your data to the input boxes.
Initial numbers of Listeria monocytogenes (mL)	e.g. 100
D ₇₂value (seconds)*	e.g. 4
Duration of heat treatment (seconds)	e.g. 15

Notes.

*The temperature at which the D value was obtained (or calculated) must be the same as the temperature used for thermal processing.
