Abstract:
Type E and nonproteolytic type B strains of Clostridium botulinum can grow and produce toxin at temperatures below 5°C. Recent publications describing the greater heat resistance of nonproteolytic type B C. botulinum spores than type E spores are discussed in relation to suitable proess lethalities required for a safe pasteurized product. The incidences of botulism in Europe caused by nonproteolytic type B spores were compared to the lack of such incidences in the U.S. and to published procedures for isolating the causative agent for botulism. The incidence of C. botulinum spores in meat products in the U.S. also is reviewed.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...
