…liquid eggs are pasteurized using plate-type heat exchangers. Wine and fruit juices are normally deaerated prior to pasteurization in order to remove oxygen and minimize oxidative deterioration of the products. Plate-type heat exchangers consist of a large number of thin, vertical steel plates that are clamped together in a frame.…

…small or no particulates, then plate heat exchangers are used for cooling. In a plate heat exchanger, there is an indirect contact between the sauce and a cooling medium such as chilled water. A countercurrent flow arrangement between the sauce and the cooling medium assures high energy efficiency. After cooling,…

…can be performed using metal plate heat exchangers. These heat exchangers have large surface areas that result in improved heating and cooling rates. Other types of heat exchangers involve surrounding the food with steam or directly injecting steam into the food. Products sterilized with steam are then pumped into a…
