Optimise your thermal process
A new guideline (Validation and optimisation of thermal
processing systems: cookers, pasteurisers and sous vide
systems - Guideline 74) explains the principles of cooking
and pasteurisation and outlines appropriate procedures and
methods for the validation of the heat treatment.
Thermal processing is vital for food preservation, ensuring
that foods are microbiologically safe and remain high in
nutritional and sensory attributes.
Whatever the thermal process, the need for food
manufacturers to prove the efficacy of their thermal process
through validation is a common requirement. This guideline
helps do just that.
