Non-thermal sterilization method for apple cloudy juice

The invention discloses a liquid food novel non-thermal sterilization method, in particular a non-thermal sterilization method of cloudy apple juice which belongs to the food processing technology field. The technical scheme includes adopting the aseptic operation to send the cloudy apple juice into a reaction vessel and adopting pulse type carbon dioxide with high density for the sterilization. The concrete operation step is: firstly, pumping carbon dioxide with high density into the reaction vessel; secondly, treating for a certain period at the set temperature and pressure condition; thirdly, releasing the carbon dioxide after the treatment to lower the pressure in the reaction vessel to the normal pressure; fourthly, operating the steps from the first to the third repeatedly for more than two times for the pulse type carbon dioxide with high density treatment. The killing effect of Escherichia coli in the cloudy apple juice which is processed in the invention can achieve the result of lowering at least five logarithms to satisfy the commercial aseptic requirement. Compared with the present non-thermal sterilization method, the invention has more obvious sterilization effect and can shorten the treatment time and save energy. The invention has the advantages of low processing temperature, energy saving and environmental protection and can maintain the good flavor of the cloudy apple juice.

Method and flow system for spectrometry and a cuvette for the flow system

The present invention relates to an on-line method and a flow system as well as a cuvette for carrying out IR spectrometry for analysis of liquid food products, possibly containing dissolved gases, in a process line in a liquid food product processing plant, especially a dairy processing milk and milk products. A liquid sample is extracted from the process line to a measuring branch, the sample is thermostated and passed to a measurement cuvette. The IR-absorbance spectrum is measured, e.g. in the MID-IR or NIR-range. In order to obtain an on-line monitoring of the process line the liquid food sample is extracted directly from the process line into the measurement branch, in which the pressure is maintaining at least as high as in the adjacent process line. The high pressure ensures that dissolved air will stay dissolved in the liquid food. Before each new sample the measurement branch and cuvette are flushed by high flow rates with a part of the new sample to clean the cuvette. The measurement cuvette has strong windows, preferably diamond windows to stand a high pressure and high flow rates. The on-line system is arranged to carry out eg. 120 measurements per hour.

Heat seal device

A heat-sealing device moves a tube-shaped packaging material through operation of a seal jaw and counter jaw under the liquid surface of liquid food, and heat-seals a seal zone containing a cutting predetermined zone in the tube transverse direction. The tube-shaped packaging material is formed from the packaging material web, and is filled up with liquid food. The operation surface of the seal jaw facing the seal zone has a substantially flat surface. The heat-sealing device has a removal / mixture mechanism on the operation surface of the counter jaw. The removal / mixture mechanism removes seal prevention impurity from this seal zone and / or mixes the impurity with the melting / softening packaging material in this seal zone. Thus, even if the packaging laminated material is covered with an oxide, residual substances, or impurities, the heat-sealing device reduces the bad influence of the seal prevention impurity.
