Cheese, often called the “gold of milk,” is valued for its rich protein and calcium content. Its popularity has led to the rise of processed products such as cheese sticks, which now play an important role in the market.
In cheese production, microbial control is critical to product quality, taste, and food safety. The sterilization stage is the key defense against contamination and must be executed with precision.
Pathogenic microorganisms pose the greatest risk. Conventional low temperature pasteurization can reduce common microbes, but it is often insufficient against resilient pathogens such as E. coli and Clostridium botulinum, leaving hidden dangers for product safety.
To address this challenge, DTS high temperature Retort provides an efficient solution and has become the preferred choice for many cheese stick manufacturers.
The system applies a 121 °C thermal sterilization process. Products are treated inside the Retort after packaging, which minimizes external contamination and ensures thorough sterilization. This process achieves commercial sterility, effectively eliminating harmful microorganisms at the source.
Post packaging sterilization also creates a complete protective barrier, preventing recontamination during downstream handling. This ensures long term product stability and supports wider market distribution.
Beyond sterilization performance, the DTS Retort offers precise process control and energy saving design. Its proprietary smart control system integrates accurate temperature and pressure regulation with cheese specific sterilization cycles, enabling real time monitoring and adjustment to keep every batch stable.
The equipment features stepwise heating technology, reducing energy consumption while maintaining sterilization efficiency. After processing, products retain bright color, smooth texture, and intact packaging, preserving original quality.
From food safety to product integrity, from energy efficiency to reliable performance, the DTS high temperature Retort safeguards cheese stick production with comprehensive advantages. Choosing DTS makes sterilization easier and product quality more secure.
