In this work, the death of Clostridium botulinum 213B was measured at temperatures between 101 degrees C and 121 degrees C. It was found that at all temperatures tested, survivor curves deviated from log-linearity which prevented their description using traditional first order kinetics. The survivor curves were better described using a vitalistic approach and the log-logistic transformation proposed by Cole et al. (1993). A single equation was derived to describe all survivor curves over the temperature range tested and a comparison of predicted and measured data showed good correlation. The implications of the use of the vitalistic approach to the validity of the 'minimum botulinum cook' is discussed.
