12D treatment refers to the application of ample warmth to kill 10¹² C. Endospores of botulinum.
Explanation:
- Clostridium botulinum seems to be a very harmful, heat-resistant, pathogen-forming insect in low-acid products. It's indeed anoxic and therefore could live and replicate in a closed chamber. It would have to be obliterated by heat sterilization.
- Throughout this 12D process, the sample is processed 12 times the D-value including its microbe.
