Abstract

Abstract Continuous flow microwave sterilization for liquid food has advantages of a short time and high retention rate of nutrients. However, uneven microwave heating is the critical factor restricting the industrialization of microwave sterilization. This paper reviews the up-to-date research on the continuous flow microwave heating and the continuous flow microwave sterilization system for liquid food. The causes of the non-uniformity of continuous flow microwave heating are thoroughly discussed and the methods of improving the uniformity are proposed. Finally, the recommendations for future research of continuous flow microwave sterilization for liquid food are presented.
