Sterilizing Characteristics of Canned Vegetables And Fruits
Sterilizing Characteristics of Canned Vegetables And Fruits
1. Microbial inactivation:

This process effectively destroys harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and mold. Moderate sterilization measures can also effectively curb the growth of Clostridium botulinum, a type of bacteria that can produce extremely harmful toxins.

2. Sensory changes:

Although sterilization effectively eliminates microorganisms, it may affect the sensory properties of food such as odor, taste, color, and texture. DTS is always committed to assisting food manufacturers to strike a balance between ensuring product safety and maintaining ideal sensory attributes.

3. Acidic and alkaline foods:

Acidic foods, such as tomatoes and citrus fruits, naturally resist botulism due to their low pH. Alkaline foods, such as certain vegetables, require more stringent sterilization. These foods have a higher pH and are more susceptible to contamination with Clostridium botulinum toxin.

Precautions for Sterilization of Canned Vegetables And Fruits

1. Suitable sterilization technology:

Thermal sterilization is the most common method used in canned foods. Sterilization is usually carried out in the range of 105°C to 121°C. This process is also called autoclaving because it takes place under elevated pressure.

2. Sterilization time:

The exact temperature and duration depend on the type of food, jar size and canning method, and its acidity level (pH).

3. Cooling process:

After the sterilization process, in order to ensure stable product quality, the cans will enter the cooling stage. At this stage, spray water cooling or direct cooling with cooling water can be used to effectively achieve rapid cooling of the can.

4. Quality control:

Inspect canned products for signs of contamination or spoilage. Properly sealed cans prevent recontamination during storage.

To ensure the commercial sterility of our products, extend their shelf life and maintain the safety and nutritional value of canned vegetables and fruits, we use appropriate sterilization processes. DTS has always been committed to optimizing the sterilization taste of products and improving the flatness of packaging to meet the diverse needs of customers.

    Sterilization Characteristics of Canned Corn

    • ★ Heat resistance of microorganisms:

      For low-acid canned foods, the main target microorganisms include Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium spp. For canned foods that have been acidified, the microorganisms of concern are transformed into vegetative cells of pathogens and non-pathogenic spores that are acid-resistant. The heat resistance of microorganisms is affected by multiple factors such as their growth characteristics, culture medium composition, and growth environment. In order to accurately evaluate its heat resistance, it is necessary to determine key process parameters through experimental means, such as sterilization temperature and time. Determination of these parameters is crucial to ensure the safety and quality of canned foods.

    • ★ Heat transfer test:

      After strict process treatment, the product's initial temperature, processing time, processing temperature, as well as product type and container type are precisely controlled to ensure the stability and reliability of product quality.

    • ★ Heat treatment system:

      To ensure the safety and quality of canned corn products, their sterilization process must follow precise temperature control, fully understand the heat resistance of microorganisms, and undergo thorough heat transfer testing. The implementation of these measures ensures that regardless of the origin of the product, its safety and quality are strictly guaranteed.

    In order to retain the nutrients and taste of food to the greatest extent, canned manufacturers need to take a series of measures. For example, by optimizing the sterilization process, lowering the sterilization temperature, shortening the sterilization time, etc., to reduce the damage to the nutritional content and taste of the food.

    At the same time, manufacturers can also choose to use high-quality raw materials and add appropriate seasonings to improve the taste and quality of canned food. DTS will also continue to improve sterilization technology to ensure the health and rights of consumers.
