ABSTRACT

Stabilizing a food liquid means making it keepable by ridding it of all contamination. Among the techniques used to eliminate inert or living solid contaminants, the most widely used are the physical techniques of liquid/solid separation, to which may be added thermal or other processes of elimination of the micro-organisms present in the liquid, taking care to prevent any possibility of recontamination during packaging operations

 INTRODUCTION

The techniques used to stabilize liquid foodstuffs are essentially separative or involve heat treatment. Other processes have emerged over the last 20 decades, using other means such as ionization, high pressure and pulsed light.

Stabilizing edible liquids requires :

  • specific environmental conditions;

  • very low initial contamination ;

  • application protocols ;

  • rigorous treatments ;

  • permanent controls.

Consumer distrust of food additives, particularly antiferments, fueled by the media, means that they are only moderately used as stabilization techniques.

The widespread use of aseptic packaging, despite the difficulties involved in its implementation, has led manufacturers to develop processes designed to make it less dramatic and, above all, less restrictive.
