The safety of food is taken for granted by consumers. The preservation of food via the process of pasteurization in autoclave pots, full-water immersion or shower type autoclaves or retorts is essential for this.
Inactivation of pathogenic germs to increase food shelf-life with complete preservation of nutrients via a core temperature of between 60 °C and 100 °C
Systems should be validated once a year
1: Warm-up phase
The water temperature is brought to the previously defined pasteurization temperature of +95 °C, for example, in an autoclave pot.
2: Pasteurization
The pasteurization temperature is reached throughout the system and there is homogeneous temperature distribution. The process duration and pasteurization temperature vary depending on the product.
3: Cooling phase
The product is removed from the autoclave pot and brought to room temperature. Depending on the product and system type, clean-in-place cleaning (CIP) is necessary to prevent the formation of micro-organisms in the system.
Checking and regular verification as to whether the pasteurization process is effective
Determination of the correct hold times/pasteurization temperatures and the P-value
Measurement of temperatures at the coldest point in the process
Correct placement of the data logger is crucial for ensuring the reliable killing of germs in the product
