Microorganism Controlling by Boiling Water

Microorganism Controlling by Boiling Water -

Here the objects are immersed in boiling water. The moist heat sterilises the objects.

This heat penetrates better and rapidly than dry heat. Since temperature is 100°C, bacterial spores may require two hours exposure for destruction.

Moist heat kills microorganisms by coagulating and denaturing their proteins. The object must be completely immersed in boiling water.
