Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for aseptically filling liquid food products containing solid particles.
  • liquid food products such as fruit juice drinks, which contain solid particles, e.g. whole pieces of fruit, especially aloe vera, coconut, pineapple, peach or mandarin sacs. These fruit pieces are mixed in the carrier fruit juice in up to 50 wt .-% and can have dimensions of up to 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm.
  • bottles such as e.g. Bottled glass bottles, PET or polyolefin bottles, or pouches, wherein the carrier fruit juice and the fruit pieces are filled separately in the container.
  • the fruit pieces are usually delivered to the bottling plants in pasteurized and autoclaved containers, primarily tinplate cans with 5 to 10 kg packaging sizes.
  • the containers are opened shortly before filling, emptied and possibly suspended in a carrier liquid before the filling process. Subsequently, the pasteurized fruit pulp suspension is fed to a predosing system and then filled together with a second fruit juice stream, which may have been subjected to a separate thermal treatment.
  • the fruit pieces, or the suspension of the fruit pieces in the carrier liquid need to be pasteurized again.
  • the pasteurization usually takes place via a thermal treatment in a short-time heating plant.
  • the fruit pieces are mechanically stressed by the required repeated pasteurization step, such as by the action of pumps, control valves, etc.
  • This thermal and mechanical stress in turn leads to undesirable product damage, such as a reduction in particle sizes and a widened particle size distribution solid particles.
  • the conventional methods and devices are very costly and inefficient due to this additional pasteurization step.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a cost effective and effective method and apparatus for the aseptic filling of liquid food products containing solid particles in which the solid particles are subjected to the lowest possible thermal and mechanical stress, thus ensuring a high quality of the food product becomes.
  • disinfecting means treating the container with suitable disinfectants, e.g. Peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide or hot steam, wherein according to the invention occurring on the container surfaces microorganisms at least by a factor of log 3, preferably log 5, more preferably log 7, i. by a factor of 1,000, 100,000 or 10,000,000. Suitable disinfection methods are known in the art and will not be further explained here.
