KILLING MICROBES WITH PRESSURE DROP AND HEAT

摘要

A method and device are described that reduce the amount of pathogens in a liquid and/or to mitigate the growth of pathogens. Utilizing the method or device, liquid product is subjected to an 8 Bar or greater pressure drop. The liquid product is then heated to increase its temperature by at least 10°C while it is in the droplet phase and/or after being collected into a liquid volume.
