In carrot puree, a low-acid matrix, heat plus pressure achieved significant spore reductions, while cationic antimicrobials enhanced sporicidal effects and prevented regrowth. The hurdle approach offers a potential alternative to conventional thermal processing at severe temperatures, which can degrade food quality.

Maximum reductions in norovirus infectivity occurred rapidly once temperatures reached 60 °C (140 °F). The findings could help inform improved thermal processing recommendations for foodborne norovirus.

WITT Gas has introduced its latest generation of MEM+ gas mixers, now featuring enhanced connectivity options and advanced control capabilities to optimize process efficiency and maintain safety during the mixing of non-flammable gases in thermal processing environments.

This article explores the challenges of fouling in thermal processing of dairy products.

Spoilage bacteria Pseudomonas are able to survive thermal processing methods commonly used in meat production and can grow in refrigerated, vacuum-sealed packaging with little to no oxygen, according to a recent study.

To reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses, it is crucial that meat and poultry processors focus on food safety throughout the operational cycle, and that includes the pivotal post-processing pasteurization stage.
