Equivalent Lethality at Selected Time–Temperature Conditions
| Lethality Equation | Lethality at 80 °C/20 min (1200 s) | Lethality at 100 °C/5 min | Lethality at 121 °C/15 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| A0 | 1200 s | 30,000 s | >11,000,000 s |
| B0 | 0.2 min | 5 min | 1888 min |
| F0 | 0.00158 min | 0.039 min | 15 min |
Note: The values shown in each column represent the lethality reported using each of the different methods operating at identical time-temperature conditions.
