• The processes that utilize relatively mild thermal treatments to achieve the desired results are pasteurization and blanching. Both processes apply thermal treatment to food products in an effort to improve the stability of the product during storage

• Although the magnitude of the thermal processes is similar, application of the processes involves two distinctly different types of food products. Pasteurization is most often associated with liquid foods, while blanching is most often associated with solid foods

• The magnitude of thermal treatment used for both processes is not sufficient to establish storage stability at room temperature. The criteria utilized in establishing these modest thermal treatments are rather specific and are different for different food commodities

Purpose of Pasteurization Processing • Pasteurization is a mild thermal process applied to a liquid food to increase the product shelf life during refrigeration and to destroy vegetative pathogens (brucellosis and tuberculosis), Salmonella and Listeria. • In fruit juice ,to inactivate enzymes

Batch Pasteurization System
Batch Pasteurization System
Batch-type operation • The vessel containing the product has a jacket where a heating medium is introduced. • The liquid product in the vessel is mixed to ensure uniform temperature rise until the desired temperature is reached. • The same jacket is utilized during cooling of the product by introducing a cold medium and cooling the product contact surface
