B

=

Treatment in a hermetically sealed container to an F_o value of three or more.

• pH value of not more than 6,0.

E

=

In the case of ‘biltong’-type products, a treatment to achieve:

• A_w value of not more than 0,93,

• pH value of not more than 6,0.

F

=

A heat treatment ensuring that a centre temperature of at least 65 °C is reached for a period of time as necessary to achieve a pasteurisation value (pv) equal to or above 40.
