Question

6. In which case, we can kill bacteria using lower temperatures: Dry heat and Moist heat?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dry heat because it won't favour rising up and growing of bacteria.

Answer 2

However, moist-heat sterilization is typically the more effective protocol because it penetrates cells better than dry heat does. Pasteurization is used to kill pathogens and reduce the number of microbes that cause food spoilage.

Moist heat is generally more effective than dry heat for killing microorganisms because of its ability to penetrate microbial cells. Moist heat kills microorganisms by denaturing their proteins (causes proteins and enzymes to lose their three-dimensional functional shape).
