Aluminum foil boxed ready meals are convenient and are very popular. If ready meals are to be stored at room temperature to avoid spoilage. When ready meals are sterilized at high temperature, a high temperature sterilization retort and appropriate sterilization process are required to ensure food safety and extend shelf life. The following are some key elements:
1. High temperature sterilization method: High temperature sterilization is one of the main methods of food sterilization. According to the different temperatures, it can be divided into pasteurization, high temperature sterilization and ultra-high temperature sterilization. High temperature sterilization usually refers to the sterilization process carried out at high temperature with water as the medium, which can kill microorganisms more effectively and extend the shelf life of food.
2. Aluminum foil material characteristics: Aluminum foil has good heat resistance and barrier properties, it can be used in the temperature range of -20°C to 250°C, it does not produce harmful substances, and it is suitable for high-temperature sterilization and storage of food.
3. Use of sterilization retort: High-temperature sterilization of instant rice in aluminum foil boxes requires a reliable high-temperature sterilization retort. Due to the special material of the aluminum foil box, improper temperature and pressure during high-temperature sterilization can easily cause bulging or deformation. Therefore, a sterilization retort that can provide a uniform high-temperature sterilization environment is selected to ensure that the food is fully sterilized. DTS sterilization retort adopts an exclusive pressure and temperature control system. During the sterilization process, the temperature control system is precisely controlled and can be accurately controlled to ±0.3℃. The unique spray head design can take care of all parts of the sterilization retort to avoid cold spots. The pressure control system can continuously adapt to changes in packaging pressure during operation. The pressure can be controlled at ±0.05Bar. The pressure control is stable and can prevent problems such as packaging deformation. The sterilization process is stable and reliable to ensure the quality and safety of food.
From the above information, it can be seen that the high-temperature sterilization of instant rice in aluminum foil boxes is a complex process involving multiple factors, which requires the selection of appropriate sterilization equipment and technology while strictly complying with food safety standards.
