METHOD OF STERILIZING BEVERAGES USING NITROUS OXIDE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for sterilizing beverages using nitrous oxide is provided to control the pH change of beverages and to sterilize beverages with sterilizing power in a short time using liquid or supercritical nitrous oxide. CONSTITUTION: A method for sterilizing beverages using nitrous oxide comprises the steps of: positioning liquid beverages inside a high pressure container; sterilizing microbe existing in beverages without the pH change of beverages by contacting with liquid or supercritical nitrous oxide in the pressure of 40 - 500bar; and stirring two phases while contacting with liquid or supercritical nitrous oxide.
