Question

the water temperature of the sanitizing rinse cycle of a high - temp mechanical dishwasher must be at least:
82°c (180°f) for 10 seconds
71°c (160°f) for 15 seconds
60°c (140°f) for 10 seconds
82°c (180°f) for 1 minute

Explanation:

According to food safety and sanitation standards for high - temp mechanical dishwashers, the water temperature of the sanitizing rinse cycle must be at least \(82^{\circ}C(180^{\circ}F)\) for a certain duration. The correct duration for effective sanitization in this temperature range is 10 seconds.

Answer:

82°C (180°F) for 10 seconds
