HEAT PROCESSING: Use of high

temperatures to destroy enzymes andmicroorganisms that could reduce quality

and/or safety of food

1. BLANCHING - A mild heat treatment that primarily destroys enzymes and reduces

microbial load (does not necessarily kill

 pathogens), further preservation methods

needed to extend shelf life.

Example: Vegetables, frozen, canned

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 6/73

2. PASTEURIZATION - A mild heattreatment used primarily to destroy

 pathogenic organisms but it also destroys

enzymes and reduces microbial load.Requires an addition preservation method

to extend shelf life (example: refrigeration,

drying).

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 7/73

3. COMMERCIAL STERILIZATION  –  

A severe heat treatment that destroys pathogenic and many microorganisms that

could spoil food. Extends shelf life, room

temperature stable. (canned foods)

4. STERILIZATION - A very severe heat

treatment that destroys all microorganisms.

METHODS OF HEAT

TRANSFER  

1. CONDUCTION: Heating of solids; Slow

heating; Heating of fixed molecules in arow.

• Examples: spoon in sauce pan; Solid pack 

 pumpkin in a can.

7/28/2019 Food Processing_kul (1) (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 9/73

METHODS OF HEAT

TRANSFER 2. CONVECTION: Faster heating of liquids

and gas; Hot liquids and gasses raise,

cooler portions sink, creating a flow or current.

• Examples: forced air heating in houses;

Canned juices. Air vs. liquid heating -liquid faster. 

7/28/2019 Food Processing_kul (1) (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 10/73

METHODS OF HEAT

TRANSFER 3. RADIATION: Electromagnetic waves.

Two general types: 

a. Heat radiation from a heat source.• Flames: campfire and marshmallows,

hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ. Infrared.

 b. No heat radiation that causes the food to heat up

• Microwaves

• Irradiation that does not transfer heat: Gammarays, x-rays, electrons (E-beam), Ultraviolet).

BLANCHING OF FRUITS

AND VEGETABLESOBJECTIVES (cont.):

2. Lower microbial load (combination of 

rinsing action and heat)

3. Aids in packaging – wilts vegetables and

removes respiratory gases

4. Removes dirt, leaves, etc.

5. Aids in peeling

WATER: Typically 190-210° F• 1.5 (peas) to 12 minutes (corn on the cob);

Some exceptions: green beans.

STEAM: 212 ° F ATM Pressure

CHEMICAL: Ascorbic acid (color only),

Bisulfite salts (color, preservative

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 17/73

GREEN BEANS: Become mushy upon

high heat treatment. Therefore, one way tokeep them firmer is to activate Pectin Methyl

Esterase (PME). The resulting negative charge

on the pectin attracts divalent cations

(calcium) allowing cross-linking of the pectin

molecules, which makes them more resistant

to heat induced softening. Can you have too

much of a good thing?? Turn to your neighbor and discuss.

7/28/2019 Food Processing_kul (1) (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 18/73

DRY BEANS: Must be partly rehydrated before

 blanching can take place. Multiple blanchers or long

water blanchers are used. Where does the rest of the

water come from to finish the thermal process

(example: canned chili). How long do you cook the

canned dried beans?

FRUIT JUICE PASTEURIZATION: 

 New to kill E. Coli 0157:H7 And/or other food-borne illness microorganisms. It also

reduces microbial load, inactivates enzymes,

and extends shelf life.

BEER PASTEURIZATION:

1. Use of heat before or after bottling

2. Cold pasteurization - sterile filtering: better flavor than heat pasteurization not to be

confused with irradiation.

PRESERVATION OF FOODSBY LOWERING THE

TEMPERATURE

THEORY - LOWERING THE STORAGE

TEMPERATURE OF THE FOODWILL REDUCE OR PREVENT

SPOILAGE BY MICROORGANISMS

AND/OR CHEMICAL REACTIONS.

7/28/2019 Food Processing_kul (1) (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 31/73

NOTE:

TECHNOLOGY IS RELATIVELY NEW

ENERGY INTENSIVE

I. REFRIGERATION - Temperatures

typically between 45 - 32° F (7.2 - 0° C).

Prefer below 38° F.

THEORY - LOWER TEMPERATURE

WILL REDUCE SPOILAGE. 

7/28/2019 Food Processing_kul (1) (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 32/73

ALTER GASES: Controlled atmosphere

storage: increase carbon dioxide and lower 

oxygen to slow respiration of tissues or 

microorganisms in fruits, vegetables, nuts,

meats and eggs.

ISSUE - Spoilage organisms and chemical

reactions can occur at refrigerator 

temperatures. But at a slower rate

e.g. lower shelf life.

7/28/2019 Food Processing_kul (1) (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 33/73

CONCERNS: 1. Some pathogenic microorganisms can

grow at these temperatures.

2. Cross-contamination in refrigerator.3. Odor transfer 

4. Spoilage

7/28/2019 Food Processing_kul (1) (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/food-processingkul-1-1 34/73

TRADITIONAL REFRIGERATED FOODS 

1. Fresh foods (unprocessed), fruits andvegetables, (fresh meats, poultry, fish)

2. Processed foods: doughs, minimally

 processed vegetables3. Refrigerated foods containing fruits and

vegetables: entrees, dinners, salads.

(Pasteurized dairy products cured meats)

TYPES OF RADIATION PROCESSES

• RADURIZATION - Reduce number of common spoilage organisms - extends shelf 

life.

• RADICIDATION - Elimination of non-spore forming pathogenic bacteria.

• RADAPPERTIZATION - Commercial

sterilization of foods.

FERMENTATION 

Use of microorganisms to convert foods (rawcommodities) into a more stable form.

Typically the conversion of carbohydrates into

acid or alcohol. Some additional antimicrobial

compounds may be formed.

THEORY: Reduce the pH of the food or produce

substances which make the environment uninhabitable

 by other organisms.
