The conditions of heating necessary to destroy salmonellae in liquid whole egg have been compared with those necessary to destroy the activity of the α-amylase of whole egg. All conditions of pasteurizing from the mildest at 61·1° C. (142° F.) for 1 min. to the most severe at 65·5° C. (150° F.) for 5 min. eliminated Salm. typhimurium. The heat-resistant strain of Salm. senftenberg N.C.T.C. 9959 (775 W) was not recovered after heating at 64·4° C. (148° F.) for 2½ min. and at the lower temperatures when the heating period was 3 min. or more. The activity of α-amylase was also destroyed by heating at 64·4° C. (148° F.) for 2½ min. but not at lower temperatures.

Because the baking properties of egg are not impaired by heating at 64·4° C. (148° F.) for 2½ min. it is proposed that the inactivation of the α-amylase of whole egg can be used as a test for controlling the pasteurization process, and a routine test has been developed which can be completed within 1 hr.
