Bottled fruit juice sterilization - by filling the bottles hot and cooling the closed bottles in four brief intervals by water

摘要

Fruit juice and soft drinks in closed containers are sterilised by chilling the hot filling in three short periods, each of 1/2 minute, and a fourth period of up to twice the length of the sum of the first. In the first three intervals the temp. is reduced by a factor of 2 - 4 and in the fourth by a factor of 6-10. This prevents any impairment of the taste by excessive temp.. No cracks are caused in the glass bottles.
