ETO sterilization for spice

There are three types of sterilization for spice(sterilizazione à l'ossidu di etilene )(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.

vantaghju: Questu hè un metudu di sterilizazione costu-efficace, largamente utilizatu chì hè statu cumunu per parechji anni, quandu cumprate a macchina, pudete sterilizà da sè stessu, è u costu hè assai cheap.large volume (1-36pallet) (circa 1-35ton spice una volta, secondu a densità di spice )
svantaghju: ETO hè un gasu assai regulatu. È piglià più tempu chè l'altri dui modi di sterilizazione (pudete installà una stanza di pre-riscaldamentu è una stanza di aerazione per risolve stu prublema).

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.
