ETO sterilization for spice

There are three types of sterilization for spice(sterilisasi etilen oksida )(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.

keuntungan: Ini adalah metode sterilisasi yang hemat biaya dan banyak digunakan yang telah umum selama bertahun-tahun, ketika Anda membeli mesin, Anda dapat mensterilkannya sendiri, dan biayanya sangat murah. volume besar (1-36 palet) (sekitar 1-35ton bumbu satu kali, tergantung kepadatan bumbu)
kerugiannya: ETO adalah gas yang diatur dengan ketat. Dan akan memakan waktu lebih lama dibandingkan dua cara sterilisasi lainnya (Anda dapat memasang ruang pra-pemanasan dan ruang aerasi untuk mengatasi masalah ini).

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.
