Applications of Pressure Steam in the Canned Food Industry

Release time：2016-07-11

A wide variety of canned foods are available on the market, including fruit cans, fish cans, luncheon meat, and chicken cans, all of which are widely enjoyed for their delicious taste. However, how is the hygiene and food safety of canned foods ensured? And how do canning manufacturers guarantee commercial sterility in their products?

What is commercial sterility? After appropriate heat sterilization, canned foods contain no pathogenic microorganisms and no non-pathogenic microorganisms capable of multiplying at typical storage temperatures; this state is referred to as commercial sterility. Microbiological testing of canned foods not only verifies the adequacy of sterilization but also helps identify the presence of viable microorganisms in the product, particularly pathogenic bacteria.

Canned food production involves vacuum sealing and sterilization followed by cooling. Immediately after the product is canned, it must be vacuum-sealed. The sealed cans are then promptly subjected to sterilization, with the duration of sterilization determined according to the specific can type. Following sterilization, the cans are rapidly cooled to below 40°C.

To ensure greater food safety and more reliable quality inspection of canned goods, pressure steam sterilization is the most dependable method.

Autoclave The switch is simple and convenient; the electronic lock can only be opened when power is supplied, thereby preventing accidental release of substances in the event of a power outage or shutdown. The steam sterilizer clearly displays its current status, including temperature, pressure, program settings, and other relevant information during operation. Its pulsed air purification cycle is repeated until the pressure exceeds the corresponding temperature, generating supersaturated steam pressure to ensure optimal sterilization efficacy. The sterilizer can adjust steam discharge according to the characteristics of the load, and it features a rapid cooling function that quickly reduces the internal temperature to below 80°C—a safe operating threshold. Equipped with a vacuum pump and heated air filtered through a 0.2-µm membrane, the sterilizer efficiently dries samples, making them ready for use in a short time. A standard mounting hole for a sample temperature probe is provided, and an optional probe can be installed to facilitate verification of internal sterilization performance. Autoclave Triple-pulse, pre-vacuum operation with a high-capacity vacuum pump forcibly evacuates residual air from the chamber, enabling saturated steam to penetrate items thoroughly and ensuring complete and effective sterilization.

How to Properly Use Electric Heating Equipment Such as Oven Dryers

The oven must be placed indoors in a dry, level location to prevent vibration and corrosion. Always ensure that the power supply is properly monitored: select a power switch and wiring that match the oven’s power consumption and capacity, and provide a reliable grounding connection.
