Food Thermal Sterilization Training

1. Training objectives

Through training, improve the sterilization theory and practical operation level of trainees, solve the difficult problems encountered in the process of equipment use and equipment maintenance, promote standardized operations, and improve the scientific and safety of food thermal sterilization.

This training strives to help trainees fully learn the basic theoretical knowledge of food thermal sterilization, master the principles, methods and steps of formulating sterilization procedures, and be familiar with and develop good operating practices in the practice of food thermal sterilization, and improve the possibility of encounters in the practice of food thermal sterilization. The ability to deal with problems reached.
