Thermal processing is the established method of controlling foodborne pathogens in ready to eat packaged food. The main objective of the thermal processing is to ensure that the process temperature is maintained for sufficiently long time that the pathogens or spores are reduced to a level that they are not harmful to the human beings. The first detailed study of this was undertaken way back in 1895 and till today the process is more or less the same. It is very important for the food processer to prove that his processed food meets this requirements.
