RESUMO
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to evaluate the thermal stability and reversibility after heat treatment of transitions associated with various cellular components of Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus plantarum. The reversibility and the change in the thermal stability of individual transitions are evaluated by a second temperature scan after preheating in the DSC to various temperatures between 40 and 130°C. The viability of bacteria after a heat treatment between 55 and 70°C in the DSC is determined by both plate count and calorimetric data. The fractional viability values based on calorimetric and plate count data show a linear relationship. Viability loss and the irreversible change in DSC thermograms of pretreated whole cells are highly correlated between 55 and 70°C. Comparison of DSC scans for isolated ribosomes shows that the thermal stability of E. coli ribosomes is greater than that of L. plantarum ribosomes, consistent with the greater thermal tolerance of E. coli observed from viability loss and DSC scans of whole cells.
