1. Shorter time, faster speed
Conventional thermal sterilization involves transferring heat from the surface of food to its interior through conduction, convection, or radiation, often requiring a longer duration to reach the sterilization temperature. Microwave sterilization, on the other hand, allows microwaves to interact directly with food and microorganisms, utilizing both thermal and non-thermal effects to achieve rapid heating and sterilization. This significantly reduces processing time, with the sterilization of various materials typically taking between 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Low-temperature sterilization preserves nutritional content and traditional flavors.
Microwave sterilization achieves杀菌 through special thermal and non-thermal effects, offering the required sterilization results at lower temperatures and in shorter times compared to conventional thermal sterilization methods. Generally, temperatures of 75-80 degrees Celsius are sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Moreover, microwave processing of food preserves more nutrients and maintains color, aroma, flavor, and shape, providing a puffing effect.
3. Energy Conservation
Conventional thermal sterilization often results in heat loss in the environment and equipment, whereas microwave directly acts on the food, thus eliminating additional energy consumption. Compared to conventional methods, it typically saves 30%-50% on electricity.
4. Uniform and Thorough
Conventional thermal sterilization begins at the surface of the material, but due to heat conduction, there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside. To preserve food flavor and reduce processing time.
Food often doesn't reach sufficient internal temperatures, affecting sterilization effectiveness. Due to microwave penetration, when food is treated as a whole, both the surface and interior are simultaneously affected, ensuring even and thorough sterilization.
5. Easy to control
The microwave dry sterilization process features equipment that is ready-to-use at a moment's notice, without the thermal inertia of conventional heat sterilization. It offers flexible and convenient operation, with adjustable microwave power and transmission speed starting from zero and continuously adjustable, making it easy to operate.
