Abstract

ABSTRACTA cylindrical rack was designed to hold four 130 mm × 178 mm retortable pouches. The outer dimensions of the cylinder were 157 mm × 178 mm, identical to a No. 10 can. These dimensions permitted pouch processing in traditional sterilizers that accept cans of this size. Dimensional considerations, pouch orientation, and heat distribution were tested in 100% steam. This racking method was found to provide equal heat treatments to all pouches regardless of horizontal, vertical or rolling orientations. These results suggest the use of various conventional sterilizers for pouch processing with little or no modification.
