ABSTRACT
Fast reactions mediated by microwaves are often attributed by many to non-thermal effect. We show here that rapid formation of Maillard reaction products during microwave sterilization of growth medium results from concentration effect and not any non-thermal effect. This leads to an improved method for microwave sterilization of growth media.
