Sterilization by means of heat is one of many technologies JBT applies to preserve food quality and to extend the shelf-life of packaged food. In-container sterilization is a proven thermal processing technology that reliably renders low acid food products (pH > 4.5) safe for consumption and extends the shelf-life, without refrigeration, for wide, shelf-stable retail distribution.
In the process non-sterile containers are filled and sealed with non-sterile product. The product is then sterilized inside the container as it passes through the sterilization processing line.
Our in-container sterilization solutions, both batch and continuous configurations, help producers increase food safety and extend shelf-life while providing consumers with nutritious, natural and flavorful food.
