Abstract

The G-value estimating sterilization-process is offered and compared with other scales selected from bibliography. Based on the kinetic of destruction of microorganisms the G-value considers every parts of sterilization-processes especially with reference to peak-sterilization. It takes into account the resistance of microorganisms, the safety index and also the influence of germ reducing measures, e.g. cleaning, before the sterilization-processes. Finally a formula is presented to transform G- and F-values each other.
