The invention discloses a non-thermal
processing method for
soft fruit and vegetable cans, and belongs to the technical field of can
processing. The method comprises the following steps of sorting, classification, washing, removal of peels, kernels and seeds,
slicing, crisp keeping,
blanching, cooling, canning, blending, vacuum seal, high hydrostatical sterilization and the like, wherein the pressure of the high hydrostatical sterilization is 400 to 600 MPa, and the pressure maintaining time is 3 to 30 min. In the method, the
blanching is combined with the high hydrostatical sterilization, so that compared with the conventional
processing technology for the fruit and vegetable cans, the method has the advantages of killing microorganisms, passivating
endogenous enzymes, maintaining
organoleptic quality such as color, smell, taste and the like and the
nutrient components of the product, ensuring
food safety, prolonging storage period under the condition of not adding preservatives, and eliminating the cooking smell of the conventional fruit and vegetable cans; and
metal cans and glass bottles are replaced by EVOH / PVPP bottles or bags with
high oxygen barrier property, so that the
soft fruit and vegetable cans are light and portable, attractive, convenient to open and easy to transport.
