Multiple Choice

TABLE 10-14
The use of preservatives by food processors has become a controversial issue. Suppose two preservatives are extensively tested and determined safe for use in meats.

The results are summarized in the table below.
Preservative I Preservative II
I = 106.4 hours II = 96.54 hours
SI = 10.3 hours SII = 13.4 hours
