“…On the contrary, a standard equipment has recently been made available for low energy e-beam (around 200 keV), focusing a controlled beam of electrons on the surface of a packaging material to achieve the surface sterilization as it runs through the filling machine. The introduction of e-beam technology in aseptic packaging resulted in significant cost savings, estimated at about 80% less energy consumption for sterilization, 40% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and 33% less electrical power usage (Pillai & Shayanfar, 2015). In addition, the e-beam sterilization could avoid the use of H2O2 and the heat necessary to remove it, offering interesting applications in the vision of developing new, mild and more sustainable technologies.…”

Consumption milk with longer shelf-life is nowadays required to have access to markets of distant countries. Novel technologies for milk processing, alternative to conventional heat-treatments, may provide milk industry with reliable, efficient and clean equipment for consumption milk manufacture. This review addresses the most promising technologies, either under experimental examination or already commercially available. In particular, scientific literature documenting the performances of ohmic heating, microwaves, radio frequency, microfiltration, high pressure, and pulsed electric field is presented. Attention is given to the respective effectiveness in destroying microorganisms, inactivate enzymes, avoid damage to milk components as well as to the consequent microbiological and physicochemical stability of processed milk during storage. Although most technologies allow destroying or remove vegetative bacterial cells, so far none proves to represent a comprehensive alternative to conventional heat treatments of milk. Microfiltration is currently applied as a preliminary treatment in production of extended shelf life (ESL) pasteurized milk, however successful applications in UHT milk manufacture have been proposed as well. High-pressure homogenization prolongs physical stability to conventionally heat-treated milk. The combination of an alternative technology, most promisingly pulsed electric field, with mild thermal treatments represents, at the moment, the sole realistic approach to produce fresh-like/high quality pasteurized milk.

The sprout inhibition of onion and potato by low energy X-rays was investigated using a 160 kV X-ray irradiation system to determine optimal irradiation conditions. The sprouting of onion was effectively suppressed by irradiating 20 Gy at a depth of 3.2 mm from root side for small onion and at 8.0 mm depth for large onion, respectively. For potato, double-sided irradiation was necessary to irradiate the entire potato because the buds were distributed throughout the entire potato. Irradiation on double-sided at a depth of 8.0 mm with 50 Gy (60 Gy at 5.4 mm) effectively inhibited the sprouting. The throughput calculated to be 80.9 kg/h for large onion, 34.1 kg/h for small onion, and 9.9 kg/h for potato at a distance of 350 mm from the focal point of source. Dose uniformity (D max at surface/D min at 8.0 mm depth) of potato in case of double-sided irradiation was improved from 3.6 (182 Gy/50 Gy) to 1.2 (58 Gy/50 Gy) by using an aluminum 1.0 mm filter (F1) to cut off low energy X-rays, whereas the throughput capacity decreased from 9.9 kg/h to 7.4 kg/h.

“…Aseptic processing dates back to the 1920s when Olin Ball developed the heat‐cool‐fill system. While early models were very niche, it opened the market up to commercial systems, such as the Dole aseptic process developed by McKinley Martin, which is more representative of today's aseptic processing 1 . The basic premise of this process is sterilisation and then cooling of a food product prior to inserting it into sterilised packaging under aseptic conditions to prevent contamination of the product.…”
