Heat Penetration for Hot-Fill Without Retort
I want to perform a simple heat penetration study for the following process. Can anyone suggest the sample study which I can refer for this process. I tried to find the study, but all are related to retort process not similar to mine. Would appreciate if someone could suggest.
Process:
1- cooking at min. 195 F
2- hot filling in pouches at min. 185 F
3- vacuuming of pouches
4- holding the vacuumed sealed pouches for 5 min maintaining min. 180F.
Hi saqib123,
All lot of processors carry out their own in-house studies to validate such processes and this is something you should consider.
Kind regards,
Tony
