Thermal decontamination of food.

Author(s) : JAMES S. J.

Summary

This article deals with the thermal methods of food decontamination. It explains the current techniques and their limitations (water or steam). These techniques do not achieve the required levels of decontamination. Future trends will aim at developing refrigeration systems that reduce the surface temperature and at obtaining reliable thermal death kinetic data for organisms present on the surface of real foods.
