ETO sterilization for spice

There are three types of sterilization for spice(ethylene oxide sterilization )(EtO, gamma, steam) :

with eo gas(eto sterilization)– spices treated with ethylene oxide (EtO) ,

with irradiation– spices treated with radiation (e.g. gamma rays, x-rays),
with steam(high temperature,and water steam).

1. Ethylene oxide sterilization (ETO)exposes the product to ETO gas under controlled conditions in a sealed chamber, to kill bacteria in the product.

Qhov kom zoo dua: Qhov no yog tus nqi tsim nyog, siv dav rau kev ua kom tsis muaj menyuam uas muaj ntau xyoo, thaum koj yuav lub tshuab, koj tuaj yeem ua kom tsis muaj menyuam los ntawm koj tus kheej, thiab tus nqi pheej yig heev.loj ntim (1-36pallet) (ib ncig 1-35ton txuj lom ib zaug, nyob ntawm qhov ceev ntawm cov txuj lom)
Qhov tsis zoo: ETO yog qhov hnyav-tswj, roj. Thiab yuav siv sij hawm ntau dua li ob txoj kev ua kom tsis muaj menyuam (koj tuaj yeem nruab chav ua ntej cua sov thiab chav aeration los daws qhov teeb meem no).

2. Irradiation exposes the product to gamma rays or electron beam radiation to sterilize it.
advantage: Most effective method and no chemicals are used in this process
Disadvantages: expensive price, will cause damage to the package, and public pressure due to the negative connotations of radiation has resulted in specific labeling requirements to disclose that the product is irradiated. That can be unappealing to consumers.

3. Steam sterilization is a process that uses hot steam in a controlled environment to heat the product.
advantage: No chemicals or radiation are used in this process.
disadvantage: high temperature, and if any moisture is introduced to the product, it can result in caking and molding, and change the color and flavor of spice.
