Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sterilization processing equipment, and more specifically, to a kind of sterilization processing equipment for flavor syrup. Background Art
[0002] Flavored syrup is a compound syrup with various specific flavors made from white sugar as the basic raw material by adding auxiliary materials such as flavor, color and acidity regulators. As the main raw material, it is widely used in ready-made beverages such as coffee, wine and milk tea, and has a very broad application prospect.
