摘要: Processes and systems that enhance the heating of packaged foodstuffs and other items in various microwave heating systems are described herein. It has been unexpectedly found that configuring the microwave heating zone of a microwave-assisted pasteurization or sterilization system so that the article carrier, the microwave launchers, and/or the packages have certain relative dimensions may significantly enhance the uniformity of heating of the articles. The result is pasteurized or sterilized articles that exhibit fewer hot and cold spots, a consistent microbial lethality rate, and desirable end properties, such as visual appearance, taste, and texture.

摘要: Carriers suitable for transporting a plurality of articles through a microwave heating zone are provided. Carriers as described herein may include an outer frame and upper and lower support structures vertically spaced from one another to provide a cargo volume into which the articles are loaded. At least a portion of the upper and/or lower support structures may be formed of an electrically conductive material. Additionally, the carrier may include removable article spacing members, such as vertical spacing members and dividers, that can be selectively inserted to adjust the size and/or shaper of the cargo volume. Carriers as described herein may be configured to receive a variety of different articles, including trays and pouches, and the articles may be loaded into the carrier in a nested or overlapping manner.

摘要: Methods for pasteurizing or sterilizing liquid or semi-liquid materials in a liquid-filled microwave heating system are described herein. The methods described herein may be used for pasteurizing or sterilizing a variety of different liquids and semi-liquids, including foodstuffs and beverages, as well as medical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and veterinary liquids. Efficient and rapid heating using microwave energy can provide better temperature control, which permits the use of thinner bottles without sacrificing product quality or safety.
