We process mango puree and pack it in drums (215.0kgs). Recently we have experienced bulging of drums seven days after production where 4 drums out of 120 drums bulged. We have conducted a root cause analysis and do not seem to get to the cause. The drums are aseptically filled (our machine is from Bertuzzi). What could be the cause of the bulging? The puree has brix 13 and acidity between 0.4-0.7%.

Dear Dearest,
Gas ?
Some Shared/Overlapping Possibilities (Chicken vs Egg)
process failure/atypical product (if routine observation > gross process failure) > "data"
inadequate thermal process / design / implementation
inadequate human technical competence / design / implementation
inadequate FS system / SOPs
Inadequate control procedures
Unsuitable / atypical Input material / drums
Environmental contamination
Rgds / Charles.C
Kind Regards,
Charles.C
