Pasteurization of Food by Microwave Irradiation

Cold Pasteurization of Food by Irradiation

Food irradiation is a preservation process of exposing foods to high-energy rays to improve product safety and shelf life. Red meats, poultry, potatoes, onions, spices, seasonings, fresh fruits and vegetables may be irradiated to prevent growth of food poisoning bacteria, eliminate parasites, or delay ripening and spoilage. Also, irradiation could be used to replace chemical preservatives in fo...

Microwave pasteurization of pre-packaged carrots

This research investigated the application of 915 MHz microwaves in pasteurizing pre-packaged vegetables. A specially designed 915 MHz single-mode microwave-assisted pasteurization (MAP) system was used to process carrot cuboids in brine pre-packaged in 8-oz polymer pouches. Gellan gel was formulated and selected as the model food to simulate the real foods processed by the MAP system; heating ...
