Suppose the D value at 110°C is 12 minutes and the Z-value is 7°C. Then the D value at specific temperatures will be as tabulated below. Temp. (°C) 110 117 124 103 96 D value (min) 12 1.2 0.12 120 1200 Thus the D value can be readily calculated for any temperature if that temperature is a multiple of 7°C away from the reference temperature 110°C. To find the D value for any other temperature, we need to set up and solve an ODE.
