Abstract:
Non-thermal treatments are current trends in food safety, the application of these technologies may lessen the influence of heat on food quality. The non-thermal food preservation techniques enable the food industry to meet regulations for product safety and shelf life. Common non-thermal techniques include cold plasma, ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light, pulsed electric fields, and high-pressure processing. This chapter provides a quick summary of the most current uses of these technologies for food preservation. In addition, a succinct description of the process used to inactivate foodborne microorganisms in food has been provided.

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...

Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...
