There is a nice (free) online calculator here (they do ask for a  voluntary donation towards running costs)

 

If you are planning on running a fair bit of data... I would recommend paying the £40 to download the excel version-plus all of the supporting information

Hi.  You omit to say how long the pickles are kept at 100 deg C.  This hold time (and cooling to an extent) is important to know.

 

In any case, if your processing temp is only 100 deg C, you are unlikely to have much in the way of Fo generation, as temps in the region of 120 deg C minimum are typically used.

 

Sounds to me like you are more in a pasteurisation style process.
