Killing spores is an important challenge for the development of the food industry. After germination, the resistance of spores disappears and they are more easily killed, which is currently the main strategy for their destruction. Therefore, study of the mechanism of spore germination is of great significance for improving methods of spore inactivation.

In this study, we replaced the homogenization valve with two opposing diamond nozzles (0.05 mm inner diameter) so that the fluid collided at high velocity, corresponding to high-pressure micro-fluidization (HPM).
