Thermophilic:
organisms that not only survive relatively high temperatures but
require high temperatures for their growth.
Sterilization (Autoclaving)
the destruction of all bacteria including their spores.
spores of Bacillus and Clostridium.
Temperatures above 100°C, usually ranging from 110-121°C
depending on the type of product
must be reached inside the product.
121°C /15-20 min/15psi (pounds per square inch)
Under pressurized condition
Canned foods
Clostridium botulinum
Autoclave
Commercial sterility
• “Commercial sterility”
implies less than absolute destruction of all micro-
organisms and spores,
but any remaining would be incapable of growth in
the food under existing conditions.
CANNING purpose
UHT
• • Ultra High Temperature
• • 135°C / 2-6 seconds
• • Boiling-
• bulk phenomenon ie all of particles get heated
• • Evaporation-
• surface phenomenon ie particles in surface get heated
