A sterilization process for reducing the content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in sugar-containing injection solutions
By employing a sterilization process with multiple stages of temperature increases, the problem of high 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content caused by large temperature differences within the sterilization chamber was solved. This process achieved rapid sterilization, reduced 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content, and improved product quality.

AI Technical Summary
In the sterilization process of sugar-containing injections, the temperature difference within the sterilization chamber is too large, resulting in a high content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, which makes it difficult to meet drug quality standards.
The sterilization process employs multiple stages of temperature increases. First, the sterilization chamber is preheated to 65-72℃, then gradually increased to 90-95℃. Next, the heat source temperature is controlled to ensure that the temperature inside the sterilization chamber rises evenly to 116-118℃. Finally, the sterilization process is maintained at 121-123℃ for 8 minutes, and then the process ends after cooling down.
It effectively shortens sterilization time, reduces the content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, improves product quality stability, and reduces the impact of high temperature on plastic packaging.
